KNOWLEDGEABLE AND COMPASSIONATE

My 15 year old grand daughter has a reading disability diagnosed in second grade, for which a systematic, structured, phonics based approach to remediation was required. She has been working with Dr. Wieland for approximately 2 1/2 years using the Wilson Reading system to develop decoding skills and vocabulary, content and contextual exercises to improve her fluency and overall reading abilities. This type of specific targeted one to one approach to her reading disability was not available to her in school. She has made significant progress thorough her work with Dr. Wieland improving her reading ability and in the ability to achieve at grade level in content areas. Dr. Wieland is a knowledgeable and compassionate educator and makes the tutoring experience a positive one. I am also familiar with Dr. Wieland as a volunteered as a tutor through Literacy Volunteers of Cattaraugus County and she brings the same talents and dedication to working with adults with literacy issues. Her experience and knowledge of the dynamics of reading instruction are invaluable to struggling learners. Having spent 40 years in the literacy and education professions I would highly recommend Dr. Wieland as both a tutor and learning coach.

Karen Wieland is an encouraging, meticulous and musically gifted singer, voice teacher and choir director. I have had the pleasure of working with Karen on and off since high school as both a student and as an accompanist. I have witnessed her work with high school singers and choirs and have seen how she uses positive reinforcement to get the best out of them, no matter their skill level. She manages to meet them where they are and builds on that foundation with technique and musicality that s… Read more

Can’t wait to sign up for more classes with Dr. Karen. Dr. Karen engages kids with her passion for teaching that doesn’t overwhelm- but invites kids into this fantastic world of thoughts about words I never knew existed. Thank you Dr. Karen!!

Public review of Multisensory Phonics series on Outschool:

Dr. Karen Wieland’s course was so incredibly helpful for our daughter. During the course of the class she went from a struggling reader who didn’t want to work on her reading to an engaged and excited reader who loves to learn. I believe this change was due to Dr. Karen’s organized and efficient lessons, yet joyful and exciting method of teaching. I simply can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Karen. Overall rating: 10 Content: 5 Present… Read more

My son is a reluctant reader/language arts student who has gained confidence when seeing unfamiliar words, and learned a lot about how these root words are constructed in English. Rating 5/5

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

My 7th grade son took this class. I was not home most of the time so my review is from him. He really enjoyed this class. It was not too boring and he enjoyed the teacher. The teacher sometimes went over class time which as a mom I was happy to have her finish the lesson if kids presentations took a little long. My son has taken several classes through Outschool, but this is the only class tha… Read more
