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 Campus 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."
-Amy R.
"Tara is a talented, original woman with a particular gift for working with young people."
-Patty Dann
Writing Instructor & Author of Mermaids
(Made into a Golden Globe nominated film
starring Cher & Winona Ryder)
"Tara has been working remotely with my two middle school children on creative writing, English, History and school application essays. She is engaged and enthusiastic. Tara is also perceptive and a fantastic listener. She guides my children to think both critically and creatively. Most importantly, my children love working with her! I highly recommend Tara."
- Yasmine M.
"I love Tara's remote help with my contemporary adventure novel. Tara is patient and gives great advice. She has lots of awesome ideas to help me shape my story. She also encourages my own creativity. If you're a kid who likes to write, or would like to write better, call Tara."
- Charlotte C. 6th grader
"Tara helped my daughter remotely with her college essays. My daughter improved her writing skill a lot. So far, she’s been accepted to every college. We very much appreciate Tara's help.”
-Wei S.
"Tara is kind, imaginative, upbeat, interactive, and adapts easily to different learning styles and needs. She tutored my first grade child in reading, reading comprehension and writing.
I highly recommend Tara as a tutor."
-Barbara M.
"I highly recommend Tara as a tutor for twice exceptional (2E) students. Tara worked remotely with my creative, gifted high school-age son. He has ADHD and, I believe, dyslexia. The remote sessions were excellent; just as good as in-person sessions. Tara guided him to strengthen his writing, reading, and reading comprehension. Tara also assisted my son with SAT verbal prep, research methods and study/organizational skills. Tara is wonderful at understanding a student’s needs, both academically and emotionally. Her expertise and insight helped guide my son to not only strengthen the above-mentioned areas, but to also become aware of his learning style. To this end, Tara encouraged my son to advocate for himself through encouraging him to recognize what he needs to succeed. Most importantly, my son loved working with Tara and now feels more confident as a learner."

RAVE REVIEWS FOR TARA:
"Tara is fabulous. She led a multi-session workshop featuring creative writing, acting and visual art activities for a group of elementary school-age students. The highly interactive remote sessions were outstanding, as if Tara were right next to them. Tara’s insight, positive energy and love of children, plus her ease at meeting them at their level, was evident. The children’s writing, art and acting was terrific. It truly reflected the time and care Tara put into creating customized activities. The children loved working with her. Three (hundred) cheers for Tara!"
