"After having been with many tutors, I can state that Tamara is the BEST tutor I have found and credit her with helping me maintain an "A" average in my major at UCLA. She has a way of explaining difficult concepts well so that you're able to articulate it in your own way - a gift that differentiates an ordinary teacher from a great one. Also, Tamara has never failed to impress me with her ability to grasp, condense, and explain complex concepts on challenging subjects outside of her expertise (economic anthropology, linguistics, film theory, game theory, etc.). It is because of her that I decided to pursue two minors in addition to my major knowing that she can help me. She truly loves to learn and this is evident in her teaching. I plan to attend graduate school and hope that she will still be available. I know I am being selfish when I say that my fear is that this outstanding and brilliant teacher and scholar will be discovered by big business or the government and will be too busy to tutor anymore!" -Christian H.
