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

Karen gave me a rock solid foundation in voice and that experience gave me a love for voice that I carry with me today

If you are fortunate enough to have Karen as a teacher, count yourself as one of the lucky ones.  I have  been actively pursuing and succeeding in a professional entertainment career for the better of my life and have had many MANY amazing teachers and I count her as one of those amazing teachers and I don’t just mean in voice.  Not ONLY does she have the expertise of the voice and how to overcome your personal, unique vocal issues, but her caring teaching style and way of giving you the right … Read more
