Tara is wonderful!
She has been a HUGE help for our son who struggles with writing. She’s extremely thorough making sure we’re covering all writing prompts for all the different colleges that my son wants to apply to and guiding him through the writing process. Today, my son said to me “I don’t even know what I would have done without Tara’s help and my writing is so much better because of her” after their lesson. So glad we found her! :)

Excellent Tutor ! Highly Recommend !
Tara helped my senior son with his college application from brainstorming of ideas to making sure his deadlines were met. Her methodological approach from writing the essay to final content was very impressive. He had a total of 5 lessons and he always spoke very highly of her. She definitely took my anxiety away, and I would highly recommend her!

Admission Essay Tutor of the Year!
As an older college student, it is not always easy finding a tutor or editor that you are able to gel with. Tara is an exceptional tutor for admission essays. The rapport that she built with me throughout our sessions was incredible! I felt like I was jumping through flaming hoops with the help of Tara's magical editing skills. I remembered showing my college English professor an essay that Tara and I had previously worked on. He said, "John, this essay is beautiful." The essay was so compelling that he started crying! Yes you heard that right! The essay resonated not only with him but with me as well. With Tara's help, I was able to transform a somewhat generic essay to an authentic masterpiece that I can't stop reading. I knew I had found the right person to work with! Along the way, she has also helped me gain a deeper appreciation for creative writing -- something I hope to continue pursuing at my new university. Before I started working with her, I was reluctant to put trust into someone who would be looking over my essays -- having had a few unpleasant experiences in the past. She is kind, polite, and was super understanding of my busy schedule. I learned and gained so much confidence in my writing skills after working with her. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to work with. Thank you Tara!

I highly recommend Tara
I was extremely lucky to find Tara to help my brother with his college application essays. She worked with him in applying to private universities and UCs. The process can be very overwhelming for applicants and her guidance eased down the process. My brother wrote the starting drafts and she focused in brainstorming, editing and refining the ideas of the essays. Saying that Tara was an immense help would fall short for the quality of work that she provided. She has a gift for writing, storytelling and clarifying ideas. The help that she provided allowed my brother’s essays to shine among the strongest applicants. Tara’s help enabled him to receive a full ride scholarship to a top 5 university in the nation. To say the least, we are forever thankful for her help and would consider anyone receiving her help extremely lucky. Thank you Tara!

Knowledgeable Tutor!
Tara has helped me patiently with writing an application into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. During the induction ceremony in front of hundreds of students in the auditorium my story was chosen by the Dean to read aloud to all of the students. I was very proud.

Fantastic tutor!
Tara helped me so much with my college essay in only one hour. She helped me structure the essay while still feeling like it was my voice. I feel much more capable of writing this now -- I would highly recommend!

Tara gave my son some great ideas.
We had hired a college counselor but I could tell my son wasn’t getting what he needed from her. We found Tara here on Wyzant and in the first lesson she already gave him some great suggestions and he is feeling better about his essays.

Change of perspective
Until you find someone that really knows what you need to do, you will waste money and time. With Tara, she helped my son hone in on his strengths and guide him with feedback to building out a top notch essay (yes we will keep working with her). If you take education and entry into higher end colleges seriously, you will be very happy to have someone like Tara help your daughter/son.
