Experience

My name is Tara Smiley, and I founded Content Exploration in July 2012. I hold an MEd in Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment, and have extensive experience instructing 1st-12th, as well as Adults.

Teaching style

Content Exploration is founded upon the mission to support academic growth through mentorship and compassion, in order to assist students in navigating their future. School is daunting to a struggling student, and I am determined to provide a compass driven map. Therefore, I present curriculum that is modified to fit student needs during one-on-one tutoring, or instruct according to school provided materials. Through my approach student progress is guaranteed; however, advancement is dependent on student ability, developmental maturity, and content complexity.
