Meet Tara, Founder

Hi — I’m Ms Tara, the Founder and Lead Educator at Expect Success Education.

Expect Success Education was created to provide clear, beautifully human, and effective learning support for students and families—especially those seeking an alternative to rigid or overly complicated educational systems and especially to serve neurodivergent or challenged students. .

My work is to develop effective curriculum - including lessons for every skill a student must know. I teach students directly, and work closely with families to help learners build confidence, master essential skills, and develop a lasting love of learning. Expect Success is always looking for tutors who can work locally with your family following long-established essential principles of success.

Education should be:

• Clear, not cluttered

• Rigorous, yet humane

• Structured, yet flexible

• Rooted in mastery, not excess

Our Teacher Lesson Manuals and tutoring services are grounded in international best practices, drawing inspiration from high-performing education systems including Finland, Germany, Singapore, Canada, and the United States. Teacher-tutors have freedom and creativity with my support.

Lessons are designed to support different ways of thinking and learning, and to work in real-life settings—not just traditional classrooms.

Curriculum & Lesson Manuals

Expect Success Education provides Mathematics, (including the sciences) and Language Arts (including English writing, Grammar and Communication Skills) lesson manuals for Grades 1–12. These engaging and uplifting lessons are designed to be done by anyone, anywhere. It can be a parent and child, teacher, tutor and child, sibling, aunt or uncle, cousin, godparent or friend working with the child to complete a lesson.. Just open to the first page and get started, or check the Table of Contents for a specific subject/area of need.

Each Manual shows you exactly what your child needs to know to graduate the grade. So if they are having trouble with a specific skill, use the manual for a supplementary lesson. Or have a local tutor help you to accomplish a specific lesson. Each lesson stands alone. Some parents opt for having the local tutor or upcoming teacher work with me as a Master Teacher to guide the lesson planning but still allow the student to form a bond with a local teacher and have an orderly course of tutoring to address specific challenges or general needs.

These manuals are:

• Easy to use by parents, educators, and learning communities

• Adaptable for homeschooling, micro-schools, outdoor learning, and travel

• Designed to support mastery, confidence, and independence

No specialized training or complex systems are required.

Tutoring & Personalized Support

Families can receive support in several ways:

• One-on-one tutoring with me, the Founder and Lead Educator

• Tutoring with trained Expect Success tutors, guided by the same curriculum and philosophy

• Blended support, combining lesson manuals with personalized instruction

Tutoring is available online and is tailored to each student’s needs, strengths, and pace of learning.

Expect Success Education supports

• Families seeking at-home or personalized learning support

• Homeschool and micro-school communities

• Students who learn differently or benefit from individualized instruction

• Learners who thrive with creativity, movement, and real-world engagement

Learning can happen anywhere—at home, outdoors, during travel, or within a community setting.

Our Goal

Our goal is simple:

To make exceptional education accessible, adaptable, and meaningful—anywhere.

If you’re looking for thoughtful curriculum, personalized tutoring, and an approach that honors the whole child, you’re in the right place.
