Meet the Founder

With over 16 years of experience as an educator and tutor, I’ve had the privilege of supporting learners from preschool through adulthood across the globe. As a certified K–12 teacher with experience in Exceptional Student Education, my teaching journey has included supporting students with diverse learning needs, adapting instruction to meet a wide range of abilities, and creating inclusive learning environments. Along the way, I’ve also taught English in Thailand and worked with students in China, gaining valuable cross-cultural teaching experience. I've helped students increase test scores, grow their confidence, and gain admission to top-choice universities.

My approach is always rooted in personalization and a commitment to nurturing both academic skills and self-belief. Whether I'm helping a three-year-old develop early literacy skills or guiding a high school senior through college applications, I aim to meet each learner where they are and support them in reaching their unique goals.


Some of my proudest accomplishments include:

​

  • Cultivating confidence in students who once felt discouraged about learning.

  • Supporting international students in gaining admission to competitive U.S. high school programs.

  • Helping students improve standardized test scores and writing skills to secure spots at top universities.

  • Tutoring English as a Second Language (ESL) learners in both one-on-one and classroom settings, adapting instruction across cultures.


Ayni learning Space —a community-focused space dedicated to tailored educational support. Our tutoring programs will emphasize the whole child by integrating academics while offering additional enrichment options in areas like art, STEM, and world languages. We'll also collaborate with local professionals to create unique learning experiences and foster deeper community connections.

My mission is to provide a space where learners feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow, not just academically, but personally and socially as well.

Community testimonials

We are beyond grateful for Ms. Karissa and the impact she’s had on our daughter’s education. Our daughter just completed kindergarten and is now confidently moving on to first grade, thanks in large part to the incredible support and guidance she received from Karissa.

Karissa is patient, kind, and truly passionate about helping kids learn. She took the time to understand our daughter’s strengths and areas where she needed a little extra help. Her tutoring sessions were always engaging and tailored to our daughter’s needs. The progress we saw was amazing, not only did our daughter gain confidence in reading and math, but she also received a special academic award at School!

We’re so thankful for Karissa’s dedication and the positive influence she’s had on our daughter’s learning journey. Highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and effective tutor!

Parent

Karissa was my tutor throughout high school, and her impact on my life was truly lasting. She not only helped me excel academically—especially in math—but also supported me personally, encouraging my dream of becoming a veterinarian. Her kindness, patience, and passion for teaching made every session meaningful. I’m forever grateful for her guidance during such an important time in my life.
