She makes learning Latin fun and exciting. Our son always made sure to make time for her classes. We could always hear him laughing and talking with Dr. Weiland like they were best friends. She really cares about the material and making learning fun.

My daughter has taken a few classes from Dr. Karen and she never disappoints. Great energy, positive online experience. Though I don’t listen in on the class, I hear saying different kids names to engage everybody. My daughter sees Latin everywhere now- grateful she has this opportunity. Thank you Dr. Karen!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Karen’s classes. After the last class, my son came outside and said, “I wish that class would last for a million years”. I think that speaks for itself!! Rating 5/5

Review of Vocabulary Building with Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes, Level 1 on Outschool:

Dr. Karen is an incredible teacher. She is enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgable, funny, and passionate about words. My eleven-year-old son LOVED this class and learned so much. Even when we were on vacation, he begged to find a location so he could call in. When I asked him if he would like to do level two, he said, “I will do anything with Dr. Karen!” – Rating 5/5

Hi, I’m 10 years old & decided to learn how to read with Dr Karen when I felt ready. Dr Karen is a great fit for me because she is fun, I enjoy talking with her & she makes our lessons relevant to me. I particularly enjoy the spelling dictation.
