Tara is a respected tutor in our community. She is highly recommended for her commitment and the quality of her lessons. A trusted partner on your learning journey.
About Tara
I am a PhD researcher at Cambridge University in Chemical Engineering, and I have a Masters and BSc (Hons).
I recently created a bespoke course for Oxmedica Education ltd. and provided 14-16 year old girls with a (targeted to A-Level experience) course in Petroleum Engineering and Renewable Energy. I provided the students with a foundation of the basics in fluid mechanics, chemistry (for industrial application), renewable energy engineering, applied (engineering) mathematics and geology.
I am currently a PhD Tutor with The Brilliant Club, who I have created a bespoke course in Energy and Infrastructure (Engineering and Renewable Energy) tailored for groups between 14-18 years.
I have given private 1:1 tuition to GCSE students for Maths, Chemistry, Geography, Physics, Combined Science (Trilogy) and English Literature; AS and A Level tuition support in Extended Project, Geography, Environmental Science, Geology; supervised degree-level Natural Sciences/Geology students (1:1 and groups up to 40 people) and supported many students with their University applications from undergraduate to postgraduate for a range of Universities (including Oxbridge). I am currently supporting two masters (taught) students with producing their dissertations.
Previously, I have been employed by Explore Learning (Oxford) as a tutor, where I taught Maths, English and 11 Plus to children between the ages of 5-14 years. As part of their team, I received training in how to best support children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), and I strongly believe with the best support, every student will achieve their potential.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me – even if it's just for some advice!

I generally prefer 1:1 or small groups, as this allows me to ascertain the level and needs of an individual student. I want to discuss with the pupil what their goal is and we will make the best strategy to achieve this. We will go through the subject, building a firm foundation, and developing your knowledge so you can understand the more difficult tasks. If, however, you just want to go over specific topics, we can find a solution to areas you are finding challenging and focus on what you want.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Tara has helped me greatly throughout the past few months. Especially her approach to helping me achieve my goal, which has been so effective and efficient. From worksheet practice to explicit PowerPoints which has all been so beneficial for me. Her continuous faith in me boosted my confidence greatly, which really enabled me to stay in a calm mindset throughout the test. She has been so kind throughout the whole process, in trying to assist me as much as possible. I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone who is striving towards entrance exams, or hoping to improve a specific area of Maths in general.
Tara has been supporting our son (8 year old) in English and Maths for over a year. During this time we have seen his personal confidence grow, which in turn has allowed him the self-confidence and positivity to try his best without worrying about failure at such a young age.
During this period Tara has understood our son's strengths and weaknesses and has adapted her teaching method to support his personality. This has enabled her to get the best out of him without any due pressure.
We send our son's school reports and grade cards to Tara - this has enabled us to collaborate, track our son's progress,
and support him in the areas which he struggles the most at school.
Whilst our son works hard during his lessons - because Tara makes them so much fun, he looks forward to seeing her and talks about her even when he is not having a lesson!!
That is why we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tara.Tara is a conscientious and keen educator with years of high quality, professional tutoring under her belt. She is able to teach at all levels, and has done, being highly regarded in academia. It's a pleasure to know she'll be tutoring again. On a personal level she is warm, friendly and encouraging, just conversing is a pleasure.
