About Tara


Bio

I was raised in a highly educated environment with a great deal of expectations and pressure. However, I’ve developed a great deal of EQ and that has enabled me to help mentor others in the workplace and in my personal life.

I took Honors classes for Algebra I, II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus, and took AP Calc AB as well as AP Calc BC, getting 5s on both AP exams. I got a 780 out if 800 on my SAT I Math score, and I got a 760 on my SAT II Math test score as well. In college, I took...

I was raised in a highly educated environment with a great deal of expectations and pressure. However, I’ve developed a great deal of EQ and that has enabled me to help mentor others in the workplace and in my personal life.

I took Honors classes for Algebra I, II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus, and took AP Calc AB as well as AP Calc BC, getting 5s on both AP exams. I got a 780 out if 800 on my SAT I Math score, and I got a 760 on my SAT II Math test score as well. In college, I took Calculus 1-4, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and a Logic Class, and performed well in all of them. I was one class shy of a Math Minor.

Also, in college, I tutored Pre-Calculus through the ODASIS program at my University for 2 semesters for underprivileged students and helped them pass their math classes.

As for the sciences, I took AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics B and AP Physics C, getting a 5 on all of those exams. I also took SAT II Biology, SAT II Chemistry, and SAT II Physics, and performed well above 700 in all of these exams. In college, I took Engineering level Physics 1&2 classes, I took Inorganic Chemistry 1&2, Organic Chemistry 1&2, Physical Chemistry, Chemical Bonds, and a slew of Biology classes ranging from Genetics to Immunology to Cell Biology, and research-focused classes. I performed well in all of these classes. I was one class shy of a Chemistry minor.

I completed my freshman year at Williams College, before transferring to Rutgers University to complete out my bachelor’s degree with a Major in Cell Biology and Neuroscience in May 2011. I also have a Master’s Degree in Quality/Regulatory of Pharma/Biotech/Medical Device industries which I received in May 2018.

I currently work in the medical device field at one of the biggest medical device companies (it is on the top 10 list of biggest medical device companies worldwide) and have previously worked at other top 10 medical device companies.

Skilled, patient and so versatile!

Initially my daughter needed a tutor for chemistry, but Tara is also very capable of helping her with her geometry which is a big plus. My daughter is really benefiting from their sessions together. I highly recommend Tara.
