Hi, I'm Karen.
I'm an educator, organizer, and problem-solver with over eight years of experience helping people build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to thrive.
My background includes four years teaching middle school history at Horace Mann School and previous experience at The Windward School, which specializes in supporting students with language-based learning disabilities. My training at Windward shaped my belief in explicit, structured, and individualized instruction—an approach I continue to bring to reading, writing, academic coaching, and executive functioning support.
Over the years, I've learned that success isn't just about understanding the material or knowing what needs to get done. It's also about having the right strategies, systems, and support to follow through. Whether I'm helping a student organize an analytical essay, guiding someone through an overwhelming to-do list, or managing administrative details behind the scenes, my goal is to make challenges feel more manageable.
I founded Jimenez Life & Learning Studio to bring these different forms of support together. Through personalized tutoring, executive function coaching, life skills development, body doubling, and personal assistance, I help students, families, and adults navigate their responsibilities with greater clarity and confidence.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to each person's needs. Sometimes that means teaching a new skill. Sometimes it means creating a better system. And sometimes it simply means taking something off your plate.
At JLS, support isn't one-size-fits-all. It's about finding what works for you.
