About Tara
Professional, Experienced, and Committed to Your Child’s Success I bring more than 25 years of experience in education, along with two master’s degrees. I’m a certified reading specialist with advanced training in the Science of Reading and Orton-Gillingham approach, one of the most trusted, research-based methods for helping students with dyslexia and reading difficulties. Over the course of my career, I’ve served as a classroom teacher, reading interventionist, school leader, and literacy coach. I also created a literacy program that has supported over 3,000 children in building strong reading foundations. Every lesson is tailored to your child’s specific needs. I combine structure, patience, and engaging methods so your child feels supported, motivated, and confident in their reading journey. When you work with me, you can expect professionalism, clear communication, and results that matter.

I had the privilege of working alongside Tara at Highline Academy, where we collaborated as interventionists supporting students with diverse learning needs. Tara brings over a decade of teaching experience, and her deep knowledge of structured literacy, including Orton-Gillingham training, sets her apart.
Tara is the kind of educator every student deserves: patient, precise, and relentlessly committed to helping children grow. She knows how to meet learners where they are and move them forward with clarity and care. Her instruction is grounded in research-based practices, and she makes literacy accessible and empowering, especially for students who struggle.
If you’re looking for a Superprof with both skill and heart — someone who is dependable, experienced, and deeply invested in student success — I highly recommend Tara. Her reputation is earned, not claimed. Any learner would be lucky to work with her.View more recommendations
