Dr. Karen made the class a safe area to make mistakes

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

Our son is 10 and enjoyed learning about the building blocks Greek & Latin roots into words he uses as well as understanding how to explore the meaning of new words; we could see the wheels turning in his head during the class. He took chances on words that were similar to what they were learning but did not have the same meaning and Dr. Karen provided wonderful redirection and made the class a safe area to make mistakes, which is important to us in our sons learning. Rating 5/5

I worked with Karen Wieland for many years in the programs at St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute, as well as an affiliate, friend, and advisor, when I was teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Niagara University, and when I was working in professional and semi-professional theater in Buffalo. Paraphrasing the words of opera singer Nadine Asher Washington, who workshopped with Karen’s students at St. Joe’s in 1990, Karen is the best teacher she’s known, particularly … Read more

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

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

My son was afforded the opportunity to work with Dr. Wieland individually with the Wilson Reading program. This structured, systematic, sequential, multisensory phonics approach provided him with many opportunities to increase his word recognition abilities. This was a great turning point for him and the results were amazing. In no time he was reading novels by Ray Bradbury and American short fiction. We went from this teachers telling us he might never read at grade level to their being impres… Read more
