Tara: Hempstead tutor
Certified Tutor
As a dedicated Middle School ELA and Social Studies teacher with 17 years of experience in North Carolina and Colorado, my mission is to inspire and empower my students through a love of reading and writing. I believe that education is not just about conveying knowledge, but about fostering strong relationships that encourage growth and curiosity. With my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, I am committed to creating a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and supported. My goal is to guide my students on their academic journeys, helping them develop critical thinking skills and a lifelong passion for learning. By instilling confidence and resilience, I aim to prepare them not only for academic success but for the challenges beyond the classroom. Together, we will explore ideas, celebrate achievements, and cultivate a community of learners.

I have a deep passion for reading, which transports me to different worlds and introduces me to new ideas and perspectives. I enjoy exploring various genres, from fiction to non-fiction, as each book enriches my understanding of the world. Traveling is another beloved interest of mine; I cherish the opportunity to explore diverse cultures, landscapes, and histories. Each journey broadens my horizons and inspires me both personally and professionally. Spending time with family is incredibly important to me. Whether we’re sharing a meal, playing games, or enjoying a quiet evening together, those moments strengthen our bonds and create lasting memories. Additionally, I find great joy in going on long walks. It’s a perfect way to unwind, clear my mind, and appreciate the beauty of nature. Whether I'm in my local neighborhood or discovering a new trail during my travels, walking allows me to reflect and connect with my surroundings. These interests and hobbies enrich my life, providing balance and fulfillment both in and out of the classroom.
