Hello. My name is Natasha (Nat for short), and I have experience in education for ten and more years. I have experience from the kindergarten to college level when it comes to education and tutoring. I have been a professor for social sciences at Bergen Community College for four years, and I have experience in the middle schools in Paterson Public Schools. I am certified in Social Studies in the state of New Jersey. Throughout my ten years, I have tutored a variety of people from all different types of backgrounds. I can also provide references upon request.

All of my students can tell you that I am patient and compassionate about everyone I work with. I believe in caring with excellence since my earliest days in teaching or tutoring. I will take my time and go over something so my students will get a chance to ask questions for clarification or understanding of the subject matter. I think it is important for tutors and students to work together to create a common goal at the end of each session. Miracles happen gradually, and each session will have an objective before we start working so both of us understand what type of lesson we should focus on.

Please consider hiring me for your social science/social studies and writing needs because I am patient, understanding, and compassionate. I am also knowledgeable of the subject matter. For example, I was published in the American Educational History Journal where I wrote a twenty page paper which illustrates my writing abilities.

Thank you.

Knowledgeable and very helpful

Natasha was very helpful with my sociology class. She helped me get a better understanding of how sociology is found everywhere. She helped me to understand some of the sociological terms better. I would work with her again if I needed help and recommend her 100% for anyone else struggling with understanding sociology.

Awesome Praxis Tutor!

She really helped me go through A LOT of questions to help me prepare for my Praxis 5005 Test. She explained concepts I didn’t understand and always helped me see it either visually or come up with creative songs. She is one of the main reasons I was able to pass my test. I highly recommend her!

Math Praxis

Natasha helped me study and prepare for the math praxis core test. I would see her about once a week and it really made a difference. She was patient with me and broke down the problems for me step by step. Math was never my strongest subject, but she helped me become more confident and understand the material. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Natasha taught me many vocabulary concepts,terms, and significant individuals that are important in learning human geography. Additionally, she has been very patient with me such as explaining terms that I’m not sure of in fun ways. These ways can be through showing me images of events or maps and utalizing games such as hangman to try and guess the name of famous individuals!
