Perfect! Tutor is really good at spotting, communicating, and helping me to correct my mistakes.
Perfect! I reached out to Tara with the goal of improving my acting and communication skills—primarily for my personal relationships at home and, secondarily, for the office (both in person and via Zoom).
I’ve been working with her for a short time, and I’m already sensing that I can make a huge improvement in my delivery and overall confidence.
She has the ability to pinpoint where I need to focus—from not enunciating enough to properly using my lips and facial expressions.
Her keen eye and expert feedback are valuable, and with continued practice, I am certain these will be game-changers for me in my life and relationships.
During our very first (free) lesson, Tara took the time to get to know me, my goals, and what I hoped to achieve.
She then created a customized plan that addressed my specific needs, including tone, rate, pitch, and bringing more expression to my face.
Her approach is thorough, thoughtful, and tailored, which makes our time together both productive and enjoyable.
Beyond her expertise, Tara is friendly, approachable, kind, and sensitive. She really cares!
She cultivates a relaxed environment that encourages me to step out of my comfort zone and truly grow.
It’s a joy to learn from someone who is not only a skilled teacher but also easy to chat with.
I wholeheartedly recommend Tara to anyone looking to improve their acting or communication skills. Her dedication and passion for helping her students comes through, and I’m grateful to have this opportunity to work with her.Perfect! The classes with Tara are so much fun and are a wonderful mix of exercises and discussions about how these skills directly relate to so many parts of our professional and personal lives. I absolutely feel that after the first session that Tara is the best person on the platform for me to polish my skills and learn all the tricks of the trade that world-class speakers and actors know.
Perfect! She is incredibly personable and experienced! So far having a wonderful time :D
Perfect! great listener and well experienced. always positive

- Tara's response :
Perfect! My son loves Tara's acting class. Tara precisely found out that his weakness, such as pronunciation is not clear, voice is a bit low. Tara encourages him in the way he interested. The result also turns out very efficient. We definitely recommend Tara.
- Tara's response :
Perfect! It was wonderful to have my child attend Tara's classes. Tara has versatile experience teaching kids of all ages for such a long period in such pristine school districts of NJ. She's so talented but still so nice and humble. I am very lucky to have found her. And I am so looking forward for my kid to blossom in her guidance.
- Tara's response :
Perfect! Tara has a very positive personality and was amazing at making my adolescent son feel comfortable about exploring his voice. He came out of the session more confident and happy. Looking forward to working with her on more sessions to help meet my son’s goals.

Tara helped me with my annunciation and delivery for my interview. We worked on eye contact too, which was a big thing for me. Tara gave me a lot of tools to be successful, which helped me tremendously when it came time to interview. Also, I am happy to say I got the job :) thanks Tara!

Tara is the best of the best! She was my drama teacher for years and it was a wonderful experience. She is great with directing and coaching for the theater, and helps grow confidence and presence that translates to other venues. Cannot recommend enough.
Really loved working with Tara, she is very professional and carries a lot of passion for her work. Working in a corporate setting I relied on Tara to help me with public speaking for in person meetings as well as over zoom and have received feedback from work that my presenting standards have really improved!
