                                 Testimonials About Tara:

    "I hired Tara to teach my eleven-year-old son how to write an engaging essay. The goals were for him to not only strengthen his writing, but to also improve his chance at admission

to the highly selective Hunter College High School.   Hunter requires prospective students to write an essay as part of their on-site admissions test.  Thanks to Tara’s help, both goals

were achieved."

   "Tara is a professional writer and her skill was evident. She showed my son how the writing process can be fun, while letting him know that to become good at anything requires regular practice. She taught him how to write using rich details and examples and she was kind and funny. My son liked Tara a lot and he definitely improved his writing skills under her guidance.

Tara fluidly conveyed to my son how to transform an essay into an interesting and vibrant story. She is not only a tutor, but also a professional writer in command of the art. I highly

recommend Tara."
