Karen is a professionnal, committed and passionate practioner. She's been teaching for several years in the M2 in International Human Resource Management, with total success. The
students simply love her :-).
Karen is a smart person. She is professional and she adapts with regards to our needs. Karen creates a good climate of confidence. I appreciate this new approach of learning English with
different supports and media. Karen is adaptable to different business environments. In this way, I am really improving my vocabulary in the Supply Chain and Procurement domain and feel
more comfortable to speak in and about this environment. Thank you, Karen, for everything. You have to meet Karen not only for her competences but also for who she is.

Karen is a great and fun language teacher with lots of own experience in different cultures. She not only adapts her lessons to my individual level and personal needs
(removal from France to Germany), but also makes me aware of cultural and administrative differences between my home and host country.

I was lucky to have Karen as my French trainer. She enabled me to make significant improvement in a short amount of time. Karen’s structured lessons and tailor-made
approach to my needs and limited time, matches perfectly with my availability. Karen is an excellent communicator and has a great methodology to prepare follow-up
material. I can highly recommend Karen as a language trainer in French and German, in particular for managers.

Moving is stressful. Moving in a foreign country is doubly stressful EXCEPT when you work with Karen. Karen is positive, quick to respond/act, and a real dream to work with. Karen
makes international moves look easy. I highly recommend working with Karen and hope we have a chance to work together again in the future.
Director, Advanced Satellite Programs at OneWeb
July 1, 2018, Armen was a client of Karen’s
Karen provided relocation support for me and my family while on assignment in France. She facilitated several critical aspects of our relocation back to the USA. During
this process Karen was extremely helpful, proactive, and positive -- she was always professional and got the job done beyond my expectations.
Karen was very helpful with getting my wife and I moved out of Toulouse at the end of our expat stay in France. She was very organized, responsive to our questions, and
did a great job communicating in French with our landlord and other businesses for resolving outstanding matters. She exceeded our expectations, and I would definitely
recommend her services!
Karen was one of my teachers at TSM.
What can I say about her? To begin, she is great in foreign languages, she speaks fluently german, english and french (and maybe others too). She also knows everything
about expatriation management and she gave us the main tips in this field. I really liked her way to teach us. I found her course interesting and she gave me the appetite
to work in this field. I really recommend her as a teacher, but also as a person. She was always willing to explain us many times, every subject that we didn't understand,
if it was necessary.

I have worked with Karen for some month for setting up national and international payroll for OneWeb Satellites. She drove the project excellent - on professional and
personal level. I would not have achieved my target, if I hadn't her support.
3 things I liked most: very broad knowledge (beyond her "normal scope of work); created and maintained very good team spirit and finally very reactive and
supportive.
She is definitely one person I will miss when working in the US.
