Previous Student

"We're parents of a child with the gift of dyslexia. Ms. Roepke noticed it early on, and took it upon herself to work 1:1 with our child in a way that promoted growth. Prior to this, our child, who currently just completed second grade, is only now beginning to read because of Ms. Roepke. She is highly effective in her teaching strategy, she learns each child's needs, she genuinely cares for her students, and she's stern enough with the kids to keep them focused on school material. Finding the right teacher/tutor can be daunting. I highly recommend Ms. Roepke to any parents looking for additional support with their students, whether their students are excelling or struggling, you will definitely notice significant results." ~Jackson Family

Previous Client

"I reached out to Tara during the pandemic when my son was going to school virtually. Her expertise in various learning styles was a true saving grace for us. Our son was months behind academically, and struggled being taught by a teacher that did not understand his learning profile. She diplomatically guided the situation to help us and the teacher understand how my son needed to be instructed in order for him to access the curriculum and for him to make meaningful progress. She also helped identify some challenges, and helped curate a plan of action to address them which she consistently followed up on. She was an amazing case manager and instructor!" ~Singh Family

Current Client

"Our son was falling more and more behind in reading. Tara listened to our concerns and took time to learn about my son. Then, she paired us with with a wonderful reading specialist! Now my son is finally catching up in reading. We've seen so much growth in his skills and his confidence. Tara also helped guide us through the evaluation process. We highly recommend Teach Them To Thrive! Tara is so helpful and her tutors are wonderful!"

Current Client

"Tara has been a wonderful reading tutor and mentor for our daughter. When our daughter started working with Tara she didn't like to read. After 6 months, she is now a fluent reader and begs to read more before going to bed. Not only did her skill level improve but her love of reading has grown tremendously"
~Burke Family

Current Client

"Tara took the frustration out of our home and helped my daughter find her confidence in reading. My daughter has also enjoyed her time with Tara because she makes it fun and moves at my daughter pace.
We are so thankful to have found Tara and highly recommend her services for families looking for extra support."
~Beall Family

Current Client

"My son has made leaps and bounds in his reading journey thanks to Tara. She not only is an expert in her field, but connects with kids in a way that as a parent you wish for in every teacher. Even after a long day at school, my son looks forward to his time with her and always walks away further along in his abilities after each and every session."
