Karissa has been very kind and understanding. It is reassuring that she doesn't expect the kids to know everything. At the same time, she encourages them to try things on their own. She is also upbeat and enthusiastic about the material and the kids' progress. Great teacher!

My teacher is very generous and fun to be with. Also, I like how our teacher is invaluable in the app coding.
Improvements:
I don't think that anything should be improved except to put people your age ( for example, 5-7, 8-10, 11-13). But still, I like it!
