Thank you! My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are flexible and tailored to the individual.
For more advanced students who are going to be living or studying in China , this may be primarily through conversation practice and active role play scenarios, whereas for less experienced students I may use books or sheets to teach basic grammars, or perhaps pronunciation exercises and article reading sessions.
For children I use various materials, including textbooks,songs, games, slideshows, videos, worksheets and storybooks to enhance learning.

Tara is my go-to for everything! Whether I am preparing for a test (HSK2/HSKK), need help with my homework for my group class, or want her to help me put together a quality introduction in Mandarin for an Instagram reel ~> She is there to help and adjust her teaching method to fit my needs! Always grateful I was able to find her:)

I wholeheartedly recommend Teacher Tara. She is not just experienced, kind, encouraging and well-prepared, but also fits each lesson to the student's level and needs. She can slow down/speed up/try a different approach during the lesson to help the student better understand, which is a true sign of a capable and empathetic teacher. My daughter loves to have lessons with Teacher Tara!

I signed up the lesson for my Daughter to help her improving Chinese and Tara is very nice and encouraging. She speaks perfect English which helps to clarify the understanding and has good plans to reach our goals. We are looking forward to working with her for more lessons.

Tara is an excellent tutor. My teenager daughter (even she isn't an easy going person, to say the truth) respects her, enjoys the lessons with Tara and she doesn't try to find reasons to escape!
