About Tara

Hello, my name is Tara, and I’ve had the privilege of supporting students since founding my tuition business in 2019. I take great joy in helping students develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to reach their full potential.

As a highly organised, dedicated and patient tutor, I bring a friendly and approachable style that allows me to establish strong learning relationships. I hold a Degree in Business and Psychology (Distinction average, Monash University) and draw on more than ten years of professional experience across Government, Education and the not-for-profit sector.

I truly love my work—it’s deeply rewarding to guide students, whether they are overcoming challenges or striving to maintain excellent results.

With over six years of dedicated tutoring experience, I support students at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. My areas of expertise include:

Upper Primary (Years 5 – 6) Literacy and English: writing skills, spelling, grammar, punctuation, fluency, comprehension, and exam preparation.

Secondary School English (Years 7–12, including VCE): essay writing, creative writing, oral presentations, text analysis, argument analysis and exam preparation.

I have experience with texts such as Born a Crime, Sunset Boulevard, High Ground, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Oedipus the King, Jane Eyre, Requiem for a Beast, We Have Always Lived in the Castle and many more.

VCE Subjects: English (importantly, the new study design), Psychology, Human Health and Development.

University (Psychology, Social Sciences): Research proposals, essays, Gantt charts, revision strategies and academic skills.

Review from the parent of a year 8 English student, “Tara has been an outstanding Year 8 English tutor for my daughter. She is warm, approachable and quickly builds strong learning relationships. Her expert knowledge and clear instruction have led to significant progress, with my daughter now achieving A and A+ grades and working well beyond her year level. Tara sets purposeful goals and provides structured, targeted support each week. She is always prepared, organised and responsive. We feel very fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone seeing a dedicated and effective English tutor.”

"I’ve really appreciated your hard work throughout the past two years. Thank you so much for helping me with English, I don't think I could have survived if I didn't have your guidance. I am very grateful for you support.”
Year 12, English VCE student, 2025

Review from Year 12 VCE English student, Jonathan, "Highly recommended. My results increased substantially."

Review from a University Psychology student, "Tara is an amazing Psychology tutor. I love that you're reliable and honest. You pay attention to detail and listen to my thoughts on different topics. Thank you again :) "

About the lesson

I hold an initial interview with the parent/s and student to understand expectations and identify areas of concern. I then create an individualised learning plan that targets specific skills gaps, builds confidence and supports overall academic growth.

To keep sessions engaging and effective, I draw on a wide range of educational resources. For younger students, I break the session up into multiple segments. I also provide regular feedback to parents as needed.

All sessions are conducted online and I hold a current Working with Children Check.

I also offer a free 15‑minute introductory session, giving students the opportunity to experience my teaching style and the resources I provide. Ongoing tuition is $80 per hour, with sessions tailored to each student’s needs and typically running for 1 hour.

Being a science teacher and tutor myself, I knew exactly what kind of help I was looking for when my students were struggling with English. Tara has well exceeded my own expectations and those of students and the parents of students. She is very experienced, knowledgeable and organised, with excellent communication skills.
Students enjoy their sessions with Tara and I can see an increase in their confidence and their willingness to apply the new skills Tara provides. She ascertains the student’s concerns and expectations and creates a tutoring plan suited to the student’s current ability, quickly building a solid skill foundation to improve performance and to focus on specific areas of difficulty and understanding.
I am impressed by Tara‘s professional standards, patience and friendly nature. She helps students achieve their academic goals. I highly recommend Tara.
