TARA B.
Hi my name is Tara and I am a high school teacher in the subject areas of English and Geography mainly. I have over seven years of teaching experience in both these subjects and in Special Education. I have also taught on a 1-1 basis for learners both in mainstream and with special educational needs. I have taught English as an additional language to many learners who have arrived to the country with little to no English. I also have experience in teaching children in elementary school both in mainstream and in special education too.
I studied a three year Joint Bachelor of Arts degree in the subjects of English & Geography and a two year Professional Masters of Education, both in University College Cork in the Republic of Ireland.
I have made the exciting move to North Vancouver from Ireland and I am very excited to develop my skills and teaching experience here. I really enjoy working with children and I feel a great sense of reward when they develop their understanding of areas that were once very difficult for them to learn about and comprehend. I also love to create a learning environment where the learner feels confident to ask questions and engage in a way that they feel excited to learn. I create this learning experience by having multi-sensory classes therefore each learner can thrive in a way that suits their learning style and needs.
I really look forward to working with your child and I will do my best in creating a fun, caring and learning environment.

Beth F.
Beth grew up on the east coast and moved to Texas as a young adult. She first thought of teaching after working with special needs kids at summer camp, and that led her to study special education. Not long after, she got married and started a family, and stayed home to teach her four children, two of whom received generous scholarships. She originally started tutoring as a way to make some extra money while still homeschooling her kids. After her own kids were launched, she spent three years as a math interventionist at Great Hearts Classical Charter School. Her students often say that she makes math less scary, that they don’t cry any more, that she explains things in a way that makes concepts more clear. Prior co-workers have exclaimed, “This was the most engaging example of math tutoring I have ever seen. The pacing was quick and vigorous, but the scholars were met just at their right level.” Her students at Great Hearts showed definite improvement in test scores, and her private students often bring up their SAT or ACT scores, or raise their grade in class. Though math is her strongest subject, she has also taught Spanish and some ELA. She lives for the moment when the light goes on and a student “gets it”! She also loves giving cooking classes and sewing lessons. In her free time, Beth enjoys gourmet cooking, gardening, and swing dancing.
“We are so happy with the progress of our daughter. Taira with Prep Academy found the best tutor for her college prep and her SAT results prove it. Ms. Beth is a great teacher. Thank you”
