"Hi, my name is Tara--I'm a professional writer, editor, and English educator dedicated to helping students excel.

I hold a double major in English and Theatre from Santa Clara University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of West London, qualifying me to teach at the university level. During my time at SCU, I worked as a teacher’s assistant, providing in-depth feedback on essays and helping students strengthen both their writing and analytical skills. I’m also an AP English Literature expert and have experience teaching English to learners of all ages—from elementary to college-level students.

My approach is supportive, structured, and personalized.

1. I edit and proofread work at a professional level, improving grammar, clarity, and flow.

2. I teach writing and literature concepts in a way that makes even complex ideas easy to understand.

3. I coach students through essay content and structure, helping them earn top grades and write with confidence.

4. I adapt every session to each student’s goals, learning style, and needs.

Beyond English, I also offer tutoring in Theatre, Creative Writing, and Humanities subjects such as History and Social Studies. I’ve helped students gain admission to top universities through powerful personal statements and essays that capture their authentic voice.

Whether you’re perfecting an essay, preparing for an AP exam, or building confidence as a writer, I’m here to help you excel creatively and academically." less...
