MY SON RAISED HIS TEST SCORE BY 140 POINTS

Karen is passionate about teaching! It is obvious to her students that she loves what she does, bringing much knowledge and  enthusiasm  to every session. Karen tutored my son for his SAT’s and with her guidance and support he raised his test score 140 points. The time restrictions with standardized testing is extremely challenging for students with dyslexia. My son is currently a honor student without support in high school. He was frustrated and struggling when it came to SAT/ACT. Karen spent time explaining how to prepare and take the test, as well as working with him to explore strategies that had him confidently walking into the test center, fully prepared. I can say, with much assurance, that I would recommend Karen to any student. Thanks Karen!

Review of Multisensory Phonics for Word Recognition (Decoding) & Spelling (Encoding)- VI on Outschool: My child has learned a lot in this class. Even though he has to be up at 6:30 in the morning, Dr. Karen makes it worth it, worth while and fun! I’ve been amazed how much more confident my child is in spelling and writing. I highly recommend this class.

Review of Vocabulary Building with Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes, Level 4 on Outschool:

A wonderful class. My older daughter has completed Levels I, II, III and IV. The little one will start with Level I soon. Highly recommended. Deep literacy – for life. Thank you, Dr. Wieland! – Please do let us know when Level V is be offered. – Rating 5/5

IreneOutschool parent

Dr. Karen is an exceptional teacher. I would highly recommend her to any parent seeking foundational instruction spelling and reading. She is incredibly dedicated, caring, friendly, engaged with her student and really knows her stuff! It’s quite clear that, for her, this teaching is a calling rather than an extra source of income. My daughter actually looks forward to her phonics sessions with Dr. Karen. That says a lot. In two weeks of intense sessions, we have already noticed a distinct improv… Read more

My 10 yo is super interested in biology and herpetology so this course was great to support his understanding of all the scientific literature he reads. Dr. Wieland is very interactive with the students and while my learner drags his feet to class, he always comes out mentioning how much he enjoyed the lesson. We are definitely interested in taking the next level. Rating 5/5
