Welcome! I'm Monica, an educator, academic advisor, and literacy specialist with more than 14 years of experience helping students build the skills and confidence they need to thrive in school.

Many capable students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they need stronger systems, strategies, and support. Whether a student is working to improve reading comprehension, strengthen writing skills, develop executive functioning habits, or navigate an important academic transition, I provide personalized guidance tailored to their individual needs and goals.

I founded Taramani Academic Advising to offer thoughtful, individualized support in reading and writing instruction, executive functioning, study skills, academic advising, and school readiness. My students range from upper elementary learners developing foundational literacy skills to middle and high school students managing increasing academic expectations and preparing for future opportunities.

Every student learns differently. My goal is to help students better understand how they learn, develop practical strategies for success, and build the confidence to approach challenges with independence and resilience. By meeting students where they are and partnering closely with families, I help students make meaningful progress while fostering a lifelong love of learning.
