Both of my girls were adopted at a young age and were behind in their reading comprehension and math skills. Karen was very professional yet welcoming and understanding of the girls. Her interaction with my girls upon arriving for class were wonderful. My one daughter is very shy, yet warmed up to Karen very quickly. They both look forward to going each week. I feel very confident leaving them in her hands. I can see that Dr. Wieland enjoys what she does on a daily basis.

What I like most about Dr. Karen’s tutoring sessions, is that she is patient and relates our content session with real life examples and puts things in simple terms for me to understand. I like that we brain-storm together.
