Hello! I'm Ms. Tarra, an artist, homeschooling mom, and certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach with over 10 years of teaching experience in a variety of subjects.

I hold a TESOL certification and a Bachelor's degree in Legal Studies. My teaching journey has taken me abroad to Argentina, Costa Rica, and Haiti, where I served as an ESL Tutor and Art Teacher, enriching my approach to education with diverse cultural perspectives.

My classes focus on vibrant art and plant-based cooking, emphasizing inclusivity and fostering a welcoming environment. As a Certified Positive Psychology Art Coach, I incorporate a therapeutic approach that parents appreciate, creating a positive and supportive space for neurodivergent learners.

I believe that art is a powerful form of expression and strive to nurture each child's unique style. By crafting engaging and dynamic lessons, I support creative expression and help build confidence through art.

In my spare time, I enjoy painting, cooking (with a particular passion for plant-based cuisine), reading, caring for houseplants, cuddling with my cat Nala, taking nature walks, learning new skills, and creating content for YouTube. As a content creator, I love sharing my passions and empowering aspiring artists.

I am patient, compassionate, and warm, and I cherish the joy of teaching and connecting with children. I am excited to welcome your child into my classroom for a wonderful journey of artistic exploration and plant-based culinary adventures!

Multisensory Learning: Utilizing multiple senses (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) helps reinforce learning. Instructions are given verbally and visually, and learners are encouraged to use their hands to create art.
