Karen Droisen

Karen A. Droisen, PhD

KAD Tutoring and College Counseling

BRIEF BIO

My name is Karen Droisen, and I am the founder of KAD Tutoring. I’m an engaged, dedicated, supportive tutor and college counselor working in-person in the Boston area and remotely. In 1988, I earned my BA in English from Barnard College, Columbia University. I went on to earn an MA and PhD in English literature at the University of Virginia. After completing my doctorate, I joined the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as a tenure-track assistant professor of English. In subsequent years, I worked as a fundraiser for local and international non-profit organizations. In 2015, I returned to my first love – education – and became a full-time tutor and college counselor.
