Tashauna Holmes, Private DAT Tutor at Inspira Advantage

Before attending the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Tashauna graduated with a Bachelor's in economics from the University of Florida. With over five years of experience in tutoring, Tashauna has successfully guided students through their prerequisite courses and exam preparation. Her approach has consistently led to significant improvements aligned with each student's personal goals, including a five-point increase in particular sections of the DAT.

Tashauna began her academic journey in Jamaica before relocating to Florida at age 18. She studied at Miami Dade College, later graduating from the University of Florida. Her interest in dentistry was sparked by a serendipitous conversation with a dental student, leading her to pursue post-baccalaureate studies to prepare for dental school as a non-traditional student. Tashauna has extensive work and leadership experience as a retail store manager and the lead orthodontic assistant at Beautiful Smiles in North Miami.
Tashauna's academic path eventually led her to the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where she served as Class President. With a top DAT score, she excels at simplifying complex topics and has a proven track record of helping students achieve their academic and professional goals.

Tashauna's passion for tutoring stems from her experience navigating the DAT, often without the necessary resources or mentors to guide her. This firsthand experience has given her a deep understanding of how daunting and inaccessible the DAT prep process can feel. Her goal is to provide comprehensive support to those on this journey.

Her diverse background and experience working with students from various walks of life enable her to convey information in a clear and accessible manner.
