Natalie helped tutor both of our elementary school daughters for a few different tests. She was great about pinpointing both of their strengths and weaknesses and then figuring out the best platforms, books, and methods to help them improve in the areas they needed the most help with. She has high standards and expects the students to work hard, but she gets great results. We were pleased to work with Natalie and highly recommend her for your child's test prep needs.

Natalie is a great tutor. She helped my son study for the NWEA MAP and CogAT. She was able to improve his scores substantially. She is very knowledgeable about study materials and helped us to create a great study plan. She was able to keep my son motivated to keep studying and he enjoyed working with her a lot! We communicated often outside of tutoring sessions and we were able to work together to identify concerns and make adjustments as needed to keep my son on track. I highly recommend her services to anyone who would like some extra help with test score improvement.

We reached out to Natalie after an ISEE practice test showed my son needed lots of help with math. She quickly guided us on where to focus and which practice resources to use. Regular remote sessions helped my son learn not just formulas for types of problems, but critical test-taking strategies. We appreciated her caring approach and that she checked in between sessions about his progress. Ultimately, he brought his stanine scores up 4-5 points for both math sections, putting him well in the range for his schools of choice. We're grateful for Natalie's help and recommend her highly!

Natalie was recommended by one of our local college prep education companies, and she is nice, professional and easy to communicate with. Her work was very helpful for my daughter's prep for her ISEE test. After 14 lessons of math tutoring, my daughter's test scores went from 5 and 5 to 7 and 8, which I was very pleased with. I will definitely recommend her to any friends who have the same tutoring need for their kids.

Natalie did a fantastic job at helping my daughter prepare for her school entry exam. She was patient and offered an all around approach that included extra practice and programs outside the weekly online session. In general, she helped my daughter bridge some learning gaps in maths and English that we weren't aware of. She provided lots of follow up and feedback outside the sessions too. Highly recommend.

Natalie worked with our son for the elementary SCAT. She had a great syllabus and project plan and was able to teach our son concepts and strategies in an efficient manner. She assigned homework efficiently as well to ensure progress throughout the duration of the program. We are also happy to report that our son qualified for both verbal and quantitative in the CTY program with advanced placement in quantitative! Thanks Natalie for your guidance!

We live in Texas, and my 6th grader needed some focused tutoring for a few areas of a standardized test (CTB ERB). Natalie worked with him twice a week for the month prior to the test, and it was exactly what he needed to excel! Natalie sent out homework and reviewed it with him over the computer / whiteboard program. It worked great.

We only had time for a few sessions with Natalie to prepare my son for the SCAT. He was scoring below the required score in practice tests before he worked with her. After working with Natalie he qualified and was admitted to JHU CTY at the advanced level. They focued on math that he’s never seen before (he’s a 5th grader and the SCAT covers 8th grade math). He scored in the 94th percentile in math. She knows what’s important and how to teach it. Thank you!

From kindergarten until high school graduation, your children are “getting an education.” But what exactly does that mean? Ideally, it’s a path of continuous learning and curiosity. Realistically, it means mastering skills and reaching goals to pave the way for their future in the world today.
My tutoring is one-on-one support that helps students in grades 1–12 get from point A to point B with confidence. Together, you, your child, and I become a united front as we navigate academic challenges and milestones. Raising grades or boosting test scores? I have over 16 years of tutoring experience and student success stories you can trust. Interested in skills beyond the classroom, like writing? With my guidance, my students have benefited from targeted enrichment learning, tailored to their needs. They also build their critical thinking, problem-solving, and study skills to achieve their true potential.
Flexible scheduling on weekdays and weekends, weekly progress updates, and suggested resources for extra practice are just a few of the ways I collaborate with you throughout the tutoring process. Contact me today to see how we can get started!
Natalie was an incredible asset in our son’s last school year. He went from below grade level to completing the next higher grade level assessment at 96% in like 8 months (October thru June.) She provided supportive worksheets that kept him busy and will serve him well. I can’t recommend Natalie enough. Thanks!
