Tara’s Tutoring Service
About
I have a BA in English Literature and an MA in Teaching English as a Second Language. For the past twenty years, I have taught all ages (from first graders to senior adults) in Tennessee, South Carolina, and California, and overseas in Kazahkstan, South Korea and France. I love to help people of all ages improve their English writing, reading, and speaking skills so they can go on to be successful in further schooling and in life. Working with students is my passion, and I look forward to working with you! My home office is newly renovated and an ideal place to work with students. I can help you with homework, essay or research paper writing, editing, proofreading, or analyzing works of literature.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know their personality and their reasons for desiring to work with a tutor. Setting clear goals is crucial for future success.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My fee is 20 dollars per half hour.
How did you get started teaching?
In college, as part of the requirements for my BA in English, I had to tutor small groups of freshman students who were struggling in their English composition classes. I realized that I really enjoyed working with students, thought I didn't plan back then on becoming a teacher. I started teaching ESL right after graduate school, first as a student teacher in South Carolina and then overseas. I have been teaching ESL to people of all ages since 1998. I hold a credential in adult education from the state of California, and am two-thirds of the way done with getting my credential in multiple subjects to teach elementary school in California.
