About Us
Smart Learning Haven is a calm, creative learning space designed to help students and adults grow with confidence. Founded by a veteran educator and creative professional in the Florida Keys, we blend personalized tutoring, hands‑on learning, and mindful art to support the whole learner — mind, heart, and creativity.
From online tutoring rooted in clarity and encouragement to soothing art sessions and creative workshops, every experience is crafted to make learning feel supportive, engaging, and stress‑free. Here, every learner is seen, supported, and inspired to shine.
​
I created Smart Learning Haven to offer support for parents and teachers. As a retired US Army Veteran and certified educator, my goal is to foster an engaging, modern/smart learning environment for students of all ages. With over 22 years as a Senior Army Officer and after retirement becoming a Professional Educator (K-6), I have endorsements in Math, Reading, ESE, ESOL, and more.
I believe creative learning is essential for growth. Using your imagination to design and make arts and crafts projects is a positive experience and fun learning. I am committed to creating a premium fun and creative experience that will inspire you to develop that maker & artist inside you!

"Karen was exactly who we needed to get my son back on track with math after a big summer slide! She was easy to communicate and schedule appointments with… plus my 7th grade son loves her. He went from getting an F on the first two tests to getting A’s! She is a retired classroom teacher and I cannot recommend her enough!!!"

"My daughter has grown so much confidence in her math skills since she started working with Ms. Karen. She also had so much fun at the creative learning event that Karen hosted! We feel so lucky to have Ms. Karen helping our daughter learn and grow!"
