About Tara's English

Your education. Your way.

Hello everyone! My name is Tara, the founder of Tara's English, and I will be your teacher if you choose to work with me. Please read ahead to learn more about me.

Education 

I have my BA in English Literature and Media and Society from William Smith College (Hobart and William Smith, NY, USA), my MA in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in ESL from Arizona State University (ASU, AZ, USA), and my 120-hour TEFL Certificate from Costa Rica TEFL. 

Teaching English to New Learners

I have taught English to new learners for over five years. I have had the joy of teaching English in Costa Rica, South Korea, the United States, and online. I have taught everything from phonics, pre-k level, reading and reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition and understanding, grammar, conversation, and writing. 

Tutoring Experience in the United States

I worked at a tutoring center for almost two years where I worked with many students from different backgrounds, grade levels, and academic abilities. I work with all ages and proficiency levels. 

I enjoy learning with my students and helping them build the confidence and knowledge needed to continue their English language and academic journeys. Every course has pre-planned lessons that act as guidelines. It is important for me to cater to each student’s interests, skills, strengths, and areas for improvement. Every student will receive the attention they need from me to help them improve. For any questions or inquiries, please email me (Tara) at: contact@taraenglish.org and check out the courses we currently offer in the menu at the top of the page!

Thank you and I hope to see you soon!

All the best, 
Tara
