Private Lessons & Coaches in

Hello. My name is Tara Harrison and I am a dedicated educator with over 15 years of teaching experience. As a former public school teacher and current homeschool educator, I am passionate about helping students become confident, successful readers. I specialize in working with students ages 6-10 in the areas of phonics, reading fluency and reading comprehension. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment. I look forward to partnering with your family to help them reach their goals.

My teaching style is best described as a summer camp mentality. At summer camp, youth are excited to learn new things, build effective relationships with adults who care, and improve their confidence as they embrace new challenges. I strive to bring this mindset into the classroom so that every student can thrive in their academic life.

I am a 2025 college graduate from St. Mary's College of Maryland. I played 4 years of college lacrosse there and am now a Assistant Coach and defensive coordinator for the team. Over the 2025-2026 season I have learned many valuable lessons about coaching and how to get the most out of my players while still keeping the love for the sport they have. I am passionate about this sport that have given me so much and now I am looking to give back in as many ways as I can.

I have played football at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels, where I developed a strong passion for the game and learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and leadership. My experience as a player has helped shape my coaching style and allows me to teach athletes both the fundamentals of football and the importance of hard work on and off the field. I am dedicated to helping players grow, compete, and reach their full potential

Hi I’m Coach Reyes! Currently, I am the Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach at Notre Dame of Maryland a Division 3 Institution. I have been coaching since 2014 with my main focus in goalies and defense. I also understand offense is strategy and footwork to make you into a shifty offensive player. I have experience with 1 on 1’s and being in a small to large group environment. I would love to grow your skills and help grow your lax IQ.

"Coach Reyes really helped me in feeling confident with my offensive skills. Especially as a more defensive focus player. She really makes you feel like you can do anything and to not be hard on yourself. She’ll take a video of you if you need it to show you what you’re doing and how you can adjust to make it work for you. She’s all about fundamentals also making sure you add your style.
