A Vision Born From Experience. At Tia's School, we're not teaching students how to simply 'cook'. We are training the next generation of elite culinary Leaders who have Culture, Class, and Confidence.
Our founder, a two-time culinary school graduate, was awarded the highest honors through both programs while attending a top New York City culinary institution. Tia knows how to instruct a great cook who deeply values traditional culinary education. However, while working in the industry, she recognized a critical need for a more agile, intensive, and personalized approach – a school that equips chefs with not just skills, but the mindset and leadership qualities necessary to thrive at the highest levels.
Thus, Tia's School was born.

What Students Are Saying
Real Stories. Real Chefs. Real Wins.
“I’ve learned so much about health-supportive recipes & the meditations are great, too - perfect jumpstarts to the Intuitive Cooking Philosophy taking root in the way you think about what you're consuming.
The biggest, most unexpected skill I gained from this course & process is a newfound creativity to putting simple meals & snacks together that are PACKED with nutrition.
Tia is not just a chef or a food stylist.
She is a Spiritual sage, deeply knowledgeable and wise in the realm of creating health in the body with food, creating peace of mind and creating more joy in Life.”
M. Kelly
"I really appreciated all of your help as an advisor, more so as a chef. Without your feedback I wouldn’t be where I am now. You have always been flexible with making yourself free and reliable, on top of setting a comfortable place to address concerns and expectations. I was bummed when I found out you wouldn’t be my advisor anymore, but it didn’t keep you from reaching out, and that says a lot about you not only as an advisor but as a person as well."
J. Foxworth
"Based on my experience with having you as an advisor and mentor. I really appreciated how encouraging you were and on top of everything with me and my class making sure we were either doing our research for which places we wanted to extern, we send our emails, and in the process still enjoying our journey. Having an advisor that makes the whole process and journey very encouraging made me look forward to my next steps and I feel like that was you as an advisor."
