Staff Profile: Tara Ferguson

Educational Philosophies:

I believe that we are all responsible to help develop inquiring, knowledgeable, caring young people who create a better and more peaceful world. As parents, we are given the unique privilege to educate our children to develop their God-given potential.

Educational Interests:

I enjoy learning from teachers and parents to develop new ways to promote inquiry-based learning. I am fascinated by the plasticity of the developing brain, and enjoy listening for better understanding.

Instructional Specialties:

I enjoy developing positive working relationships. Unique learners, utilizing solution orientated strategies, creative problem solving, and meeting individual needs when working with a range of home schooling philosophies are areas of interest.

Areas I Do Not Cover:

I recommend that you enroll with another teacher for high school math and science.  For students that are comfortable with their subject areas and/or have skilled local help, I can supervise nearly all high school courses.

Communication Style Preference:

I work primarily via e-mail, Skype, and phone.

Hours of Availability:

During the school year I am available daily, Monday - Friday.
