Hi, my name is Tara. I am a professional editor and writer. I double majored in English and Theatre at Santa Clara University. I also received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of West London, making me qualified to be a professor at a university level. I was a teacher's assistant throughout my time at SCU. I read, edited, and gave constructive feedback in advanced and beginner English classes. I am also an expert in AP English Literature for high schoolers, and I've volunteered to teach English to elementary schoolers.

My method is in several forms. First, I proofread and edit students' work on the technical level and teach them language and literature concepts. Second, I go deeper and help students with their essay content to get the best grade possible with detailed feedback. Thirdly, I help encourage students and give them confidence. Lastly, I tailor my teaching to individual needs to ensure the best service possible.

If you need help in theatre, I can also have help there, as I have majored in Theatre. I am here to help you in your creative journey!

Helpful and Patient

Tara was super helpful in helping me form ideas and put all my thoughts together for my English essay! Working with her is very productive. She is very patient, kind, and strategic to work with!

Lisa, 2 lessons with Tara

Excellent tutor!

We’ve had such a positive experience working with Tara. She is incredibly thorough and brings an intensity that really motivates my son to stay focused and engaged. It’s clear she cares deeply about her work and about helping him learn and succeed. She is extremely organized and proactive—right from the beginning she guided us on what supplies we needed, which made everything so much easier. She communicates clearly, directly, and to the point, which I really appreciate. At the same time, she is very thoughtful and caring in her approach. Overall, she has been an excellent tutor and I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone dedicated, professional, and effective.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

She was very didactic and patient. My son has been struggling with AP English in 9th grade, but she helped him understand the material better and guided him through the areas he found most difficult. I really appreciate the way she encouraged his confidence while improving his comprehension skills. I would definitely recommend her.

Knowledgable and specialized

Working with Tara has been a game-changer for my English fluency. Her lessons are perfectly tailored to my weak spots (especially listening and speaking), and she has a knack for explaining complex grammar in simple terms. Patient, professional, and always encouraging. 10/10 would recommend to anyone serious about leveling up their English!

Hui, 2 lessons with Tara

Enthusiastic Tutor

I had a great experience working with Tara as my English tutor! We went over Macbeth by Shakespeare, and she really helped me understand the language, characters, and deeper meaning behind the play. Tara was always super motivated and brought so much energy to every session, which made learning a lot more enjoyable. She explained everything clearly and made sure I really understood before moving on. Thanks to her help, I felt much more confident reading and analyzing Shakespeare. I highly recommend Tara if you need support in English!

knowledgeable, heartfelt teacher

Tara was wonderful I worked with her today and she helped me on some of my essays for my graduate school applications. I liked her style of writing and teaching and would recommend her to anyone that needs some help sparking some life into their writing or if they’re just stuck with writer’s block.

Tara is very helpful. After working with her, the writer of my play said he loved how much more confident I was. I have learned so much from her. She’s the best!! 5/5
