Tati gets homescooled. She was in a regular school until seventh grade. When she wasn't in school for some reasons her teachers brought the homework on set (what a service).

Tati started dancing at home in Canada when she was two years old. When she went first time in a dance studio she did know she was actually too young by a couple months, because minimal age to take classes was four. But she felt she was meant to do this and pretended to be a couple month older, so no one stopped the kid and no one noticed it until she was four. At the age five, when she was going home, she found a little book "One day I going to move to Hollywood." and made a picture of it. So she thinks she is exactly where she should be now and everything happens for a reason. | Tati started dancing at home in Canada when she was two years old.
