I’m Nathan! I am a warm and enthusiastic tutor with a history of academic excellence, and am looking to work with motivated students eager to unlock their full potential as learners, writers, and test-takers. I completed my higher education in the UK, where I studied law at the University of Oxford and history at the University of St Andrews.

I specialize in teaching the full range of AP history subjects and providing test preparation for SAT subject exams. I also offer tutoring in AP English Literature and Composition, as well as AP Comparative Government. In high school, I received top grades across all of these tests, scoring in the 99th percentile on the SAT (1500) and achieving perfect 800s on the SAT Subject Tests in World History and Literature. My AP scores included 5s in US History, European History, English Literature and Composition, and Comparative Government.

I have been tutoring intermittently for years, working with students ranging from 6 to 18 years old in one-on-one settings. During high school, I also volunteered with Head Start, teaching children ages 5-7 in classroom environments.

My teaching philosophy centers around building students’ confidence, leveraging their strengths, and providing concrete techniques for learning effectively. I aim to provide a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and are excited to learn. I believe the most effective learning happens when students are engaged and enthusiastic, so I tailor each session to the individual's interests, needs, and learning style. In this way, I work with students to develop personalized strategies that help them achieve their academic goals.

Whether you're looking to boost your test scores, improve your essay writing, or increase your understanding, I'm here to help you succeed. Thank you very much for your time, and please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

I am passionate about United States History, having studied it all my life both for school and for pleasure. I received a 5 in the AP US History exam, and a 770 in the SAT Subject Test. I know what it takes - both in terms of knowledge and learning techniques - to succeed in learning and writing about US History. Please get in touch with any inquiries, thank you.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have extensive experience teaching elementary school children math, having done so as a volunteer with Head Start. I will teach your child the tools and techniques that helped me learn math in a fun, intuitive, and enjoyable way, and hope to equip them with arithmetical skills that will last them a lifetime.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I am a published author and experienced editor, having served as head of the Oxford University student law journal during my time at that institution, and won numerous prizes and awards for the essays I wrote while in high school and at university. I teach others what it takes to be a compelling and persuasive writer, whether they would like to compose essays, prepare for the written portion of standardized tests, or apply to college.
European History

European History

A love of European History is what brought me to the UK, where I studied at the Universities of Oxford and St Andrews. I received a 5 in the AP European History exam, and by working together I am confident we can achieve the same result for you, and do so in a fun and engaging way. This is one of the most enjoyable subjects on the AP syllabus, and I sincerely hope that you will learn to love it.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

Having received a 39/40 on the SAT Reading section, I know what it takes to achieve a 99th percentile grade on this section of the SAT. The SAT Reading section can be conquered with the appropriate practice, insight, and techniques. These, I will share with you, and we will engage in tutoring sessions which are lively and enjoyable, rather than dull and repetitious. I look forward to hearing from you!
World History

World History

Studied in an enjoyable manner that suits your own learning style, the wide-ranging AP World History syllabus can - and should be! - highly enjoyable and intuitive to learn. I will help you get to the point where the required subject material comes naturally to you, by creating personalised lessons that will you help you understand the wide-ranging content in your own way. Please do get in touch with any questions.
