Classical Latin Instruction

Studying Latin language serves to build knowledge of morphemes (meaningful word parts) that comprise English words and words in Romance languages. Latin study thereby sets the stage for learning any of the Romance languages more quickly.

What Others Are Saying…

Fun and Interactive course
Expect a fun and interactive course and to learn a lot of Latin. Dr. Karen is the best Latin teacher I’ve ever had; I love going to her class. The Blookets and the quizlets are also a great way to build memory. Dr. Karen really cares about us and wants us to have fun during class and she is generous with her time.

Brilliant Wilson Reading tutor
Dr. Karen has been instrumental part of my son’s education through her one on one tutoring with [him]. She maintains a level of efficiency that is fueled by her obvious work ethic and her professional concern for her students’ progress. When dealing with Dr. Karen, it is immediately evident that she has a love for the profession and a sincere interest in and concern for the students. Furthermore, she spends many hours with an individual student’s tutoring and working on reading strategies on her own time to help less capable readers. Dr. Karen has helped my son through the Wilson Reading System more than I could have ever imagined.

Teaches With Her Whole Heart
Can’t thank Dr.Karen enough for her passion of teaching. She not only shows the kids the enjoyment of learning, but also teaches with her whole heart even though there were only two kids in this session. My kid is super lucky to have a teacher like Dr.Karen. Thank you Dr.Karen for making this Vocabulary Building with Latin and Greek Roots & Affixes as one of my kid’s favorite learning subjects. She is so happy that she finished all level of the lessons with you.

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PASSIONATE TUTOR
Karen is passionate about what teaches and that passion passes onto her student. It is excited to work with Karen and feel her passion and to have that passion passed onto my daughter.

The teacher followed the lead of the students
Review of Vocabulary Building with Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes, Level 4 on Outschool:

My son took three Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes classes and enjoyed them all. He liked that the class was flexible, the teacher followed the lead of the students, and making slides each week. He felt that it was easy to participate in discussions and was never stressed about homework, even though there was an assignment each week. – Rating 5/5

BEST EDU PROF I'VE HAD AT ANY INSTITUTION
Dr. Wieland is by far the best prof I’ve had at Bona and the best Edu prof I’ve [had] at any institution. Her classes are demanding and worthwhile. I learned a lot. Assignments are not easy but will help students understand the course objectives. She is very willing to help students in anyway: office hours, study help, Skyping, even independent study courses.
