Adaptable & Engaging Tutor - Elementary Foundations to AP/IB Success

Tara J.

Does your student need extra support in math, reading, or writing and a tutor who can make learning feel exciting instead of stressful?
I specialize in helping students not only improve their skills but also gain the confidence to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

I have 6 years of experience tutoring younger students in English Language Arts and math fundamentals. I’ve worked with learners in grades 3–6, guiding them through grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, descriptive writing, and core math skills. Parents and students often praise my ability to keep lessons interactive and motivating, helping children feel confident and excited to learn.

In high school, I completed 5 AP courses and 7 IB courses, graduating with the International Baccalaureate Diploma. That rigorous background prepared me to support students in advanced coursework such as AP English Language & Composition, AP Psychology, and IB Philosophy, particularly in essay writing, reading comprehension, and exam preparation.

I thereafter received a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Sciences and a B.A. in Philosophy in only 3 years. I tutored fellow students throughout university in courses such as Intro Biology, Symbolic Logic, Organic Chemistry 1, etc.

My approach is research-based, flexible, and student-centered. I adapt each lesson to the individual learner’s goals and welcome input from parents and students so we can work together as a team.
I welcome questions and input from parents and students, and I look forward to helping your student reach their goals!
