About Natalie


Bio

I have a Bachelor's degree in Math and have been tutoring since I was in high school myself. While working for the Los Angeles public school system, I taught almost every course from 7th grade Math to Trigonometry.

What I love about tutoring is creating a strong foundation and helping my students feel confident that they can approach any problem that's being presented. They learn how to tap into their intuition and how to pull from a growing toolbox of skills that we cultivate together. ...

I have a Bachelor's degree in Math and have been tutoring since I was in high school myself. While working for the Los Angeles public school system, I taught almost every course from 7th grade Math to Trigonometry.

What I love about tutoring is creating a strong foundation and helping my students feel confident that they can approach any problem that's being presented. They learn how to tap into their intuition and how to pull from a growing toolbox of skills that we cultivate together. This undoubtedly helps increase their self-esteem. I also show my students how to get organized and how to have great study habits.

I've seen firsthand that most people just need a little extra attention to excel. In this space that we have together, no question is dumb. This is the place to ask about the thing you may have been too nervous to ask about in class. I’ve had great results with all of my clients and love keeping things lighthearted. I’ve often been told that I'm great at thinking on my feet, and I use that skill to find a different approach to a certain topic, if the way that I’m explaining something does not work for you. I’ve come up with many different tricks for helping students remember key ideas in math, and the biggest compliment I received was when one client told me she was showing her class my "wedding cake" trick because they were all coming to her for help.

I look forward to working with you and helping you build your confidence in your chosen subject area : )

The Perfect Tutor

I cannot say enough about Natalie. My son has been stumbling through geometry all school year. We have had a tutor in 2 times week all year and his grades never seemed to improve. I just assumed he was not wired to handle the concepts. I made an appointment with Natalie to see if maybe changing tutors might help. And it did! In just one session, my son seemed to totally grasp geometry. He loves working with her and said she explains things so clearly and shows him how to fix it when he’s stuck. She’s changed my son’s whole outlook on the whole subject. I know this sound like she has magic powers. I’m still not sure she doesn’t, but she’s made a huge difference in my son’s life. I can't thank her enough. Natalie is great!

Clear communicator

Natalie was working with my daughter on converting fractions to decimals, and adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals. The lesson was helpful to my daughter. Thank you!

Knowledge, Patient, and supporting tutor

I've been learning Algebra with Natalie and she is a wonderful tutor. I would definitely recommend. After my first two tutoring sessions with her, I took a test and my grade drastically improved.

Exactly what I'd hoped for

Natalie is an awesome tutor. She is very punctual, quick with responses and always keeps you updated. My son has been struggling in Algebra 1. After just 1 session he had his confidence back and even helped a classmate out the next day. My son says he loves the way she explains things and really makes it make sense. She is very calm, sweet and patient. He loves working with her and I can see using her in future subjects.

Amazing Tutor

Natalie is hands down the perfect tutor. In just one session, I understood geometry more than I could imagine. Every week, I had more confidence in doing problems, and sometimes go ahead with lessons! I enjoy doing geometry because she has taught me many way of solving problems, and ways to understand formulas. She is very patient, I recommend her to anyone who is having trouble in math. Natalie is very nice, and her patience makes learning concepts easier. Thank you Natalie, you are the best!

Excellent tutor.

My daughter loves working with Natalie. She's patient and understands her needs and addresses them in a way that my daughter can understand and apply. I recommend Natalie highly.

Excellent tutor - the full package!

Natalie is great. She is serious and gets down to work while injecting personality and humor into the lesson. She knows how to get my daughter to do her work and also teaches her the concepts. She got more done in one hour than we'd done in several, finishing current homework AND even doing some review! We can't thank her enough. Our daughter is making amazing progress.
