I attended a specialized high school (HSMSE) and graduated from New York University with a bachelor’s degree in Public Health and Biology.

Growing up in NYC, I understand firsthand the pressure students face in today’s academic environment. I attended a specialized high school (HSMSE) and graduated from New York University with a bachelor’s degree in Public Health and Biology. I am currently pursuing my Master of Public Health in Epidemiology. My passion for education began as a student teacher through NYU’s America Reads and Counts program, where I saw firsthand how individualized attention and encouragement can make a meaningful difference in a student’s growth. Since then, I have continued working with students because I believe tutoring provides the support, confidence, and competitive edge students need to succeed in an increasingly demanding world.

For the past eight years, I have worked with students of all ages and learning styles, both in person and online. Math is my specialty, with experience ranging from Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 & 2 to Geometry, Trigonometry, and Precalculus. I also tutor English foundations, including reading and writing, as well as Living Environment and Biology. Additionally, I have extensive experience preparing students for standardized tests, including the SHSAT, SAT, and ACT. As a former specialized high school student and NYU graduate, I understand the preparation, critical thinking, and time-management skills needed to succeed on these exams.

I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning. I am patient, encouraging, and willing to explain concepts from multiple perspectives because every student learns differently. My goal is not only to improve academic performance, but also to build confidence and create a safe environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and learning at their own pace.

Excellent, Knowledgeable & Dedicated Tutor

Natalie has been wonderful to work with. She is professional, patient, and genuinely great with teens. She connects with them easily and creates a comfortable and positive learning environment. One thing I particularly appreciate is her communication. After each lesson, Natalie takes the time to write a detailed summary of what they worked on during the session, which allows me to understand exactly what was covered and follow my daughter’s progress. She is reliable, easy to work with, and clearly cares about the students she works with. My daughter enjoys her sessions with Natalie, and I would definitely recommend her to other parents.
