Tara: Woodstock tutor
Certified Tutor
I am passionate about helping students unlock their full potential, especially in STEM fields like Math and Technology. With over five years of teaching experience in public schools, I have had the opportunity to develop engaging lessons in subjects such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD), robotics, and automation. My work in a Title I school allowed me to tailor my teaching methods to address the diverse learning needs of students, ensuring that each one receives the support they need to succeed.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education from Oklahoma State University, and I hold certifications in Project Lead The Way for courses like Flight and Space, Design and Modeling, and Automation and Robotics. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I particularly enjoy working with students in STEM because it encourages problem-solving and creativity, two essential skills for their future success.
My teaching philosophy is centered around fostering curiosity and making learning both fun and challenging. I believe that every student learns differently, so I focus on creating a supportive, interactive environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore new ideas.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy using my creative skills in social media content creation and voiceovers, along with staying active in community initiatives. In my free time, I also love traveling and exploring new cultures.

Outside of teaching, I love spending time in nature, especially with my two dogs. Whether it’s hiking through local trails or simply enjoying the outdoors, being active helps me recharge. I’ve lived in multiple places, including California, Colorado, and Oklahoma, which has deepened my love for exploring new environments. I’m also an avid traveler, always on the lookout for new beaches and cultural experiences to immerse myself in. From trying new foods to discovering unique shops, each adventure brings a fresh perspective that I carry with me, enriching both my personal life and my teaching approach.
