In 2006, I began my teaching career as an art teacher and administrator at an arts program for adults with developmental disabilities. After many years in this field I went back to school for my Master's with an eye on teaching art at the college level. I started tutoring with Wyzant at the beginning of grad school and received my MFA in 2018.

Developing from my experience working with a variety of people with differing learning styles, my teaching style is very focused on the individual I a...

I have 12-year-old son with Autism and Karim has been tutoring him over a year now. He is fun and creative tutor that makes lessons entertaining while educational. My son totally loves Karim and always looking forward to have a lesson with him every week.

We asked Karim to help our 9-year-old son to develop his overall drawing skills and encourage him to enjoy doing art. He had been working with Alex for the past 8monghts. Our son really enjoys his lessons with Karim. He is patient, kind, efficient, and knowledgeable, and he answers all his questions. He has been introducing him various techniques that he is so excited to use and teach me after the session. We look forward to more sessions with him!

We love Karim?s way of teaching. He is diligent and motivating and always works patiently with my daughter to teach her all aspects of the art form. She has learnt so much and has improved a lot from when she started. Absolutely will recommend him to everyone who is interested in learning art. Thanks Karim

At first we were reluctant about online classes for our special needs daughter because focusing is hard for her. Karim has been an awesome teacher, so knowledgeable and patient. Our daughter is always excited about her classes, she says that she learns so many new and great days to express herself though the art. Thank you so much, Karim, it has been a great experience for the whole family! Highly recommended!

Karim makes the drawing lessons interesting and fun. He introduces new techniques in every lesson and builds up skills.
- Gigi G. from Alexandria, VA
Karim is a really good teacher. Each lesson has been very interesting. 60 minutes go fast by for an eight year old, and that itself is a huge accomplishment. He keeps the lessons fun and deeps into the creativity and imagination of my kid.

Karim was very helpful, a great communicator, and a kind teacher. I really enjoyed my lesson and got a lot out of it. So excited to put into practice what I learned!
- Damen E. from Jarbidge, NV
Karim educated my daughter and was patient and nimble based on her personality and reactions. They created a wonderful book of drawings that told a story and my daughter was so proud. We look forward to working with Karim!

I would one hundred precent recommend Karim. He is very helpful and gives great advice and ideas for art works. I learned so much more about art and I really couldn't have finished my art portfolio without his help.
- Olivia K. from Diamond Bar, CA
I highly recommend Karim. He is creative, engaging, and knows so much about how and what to teach. My 13 year old son loves taking lessons from him! He comes prepared for every lesson and builds upon what was taught in the previous session.

This was our first time meeting. I have found it is best for me to explain the various photography interests I have and important to know what my tutor's projects/passion is. I was working with Karim on a purple Advent photo with a glass ornament and a candle. In the past I had a tutor who was more "hands on" so I watched how edit something but didn't remember how because I didn't do it. Karim encouraged me to design the project myself. It's very exciting that he understood what the meaning behind my image is. I have not had a tutor who allowed that before. I look forward to learning how the tools work, how to apply them to my own photos.

He has been helping my kid who is 11 to explore and try multiple drawing techniques. He's always looking forward to his next lessons with Karim. He's always punctual and flexible with schedules.
- Jamie S. from La Canada Flintridge, CA
Karim works virtually with my 16 yo son doing exploratory art. He help him catch up after starting late in the class. Always sends message about what they worked on.
