I'm Nathaniel, a high school graduate currently enrolled at Portland Community College. As an Academic Mentor, I am committed to a collaborative tutoring approach with flexible availability, cost, and methods to ensure that you are fully supported. I hope to work with high, middle, and elementary schoolers, or adults who need similar support in my areas of expertise. I strive to compassionately and thoughtfully guide you to your own version of success.
How we spend our time during a session is entirely up to you. However, my usual session format begins with a check-in to connect with one another, briefly outline our goals for the session, and develop our action plan. Then, the majority of the session may involve working through examples, brainstorming, supported work-time, and anything else relevant to the topics.
In terms of related experience, I have been a Teacher’s Assistant, most notably at Ida B. Wells High School in my Neurodiversity and Self Advocacy course in the 2024-2025 school year and Portland Jewish Academy's Summer Discovery Program in 2023. Both involved guiding high schoolers and 4th/5th graders respectively through learning-based tasks while maintaining high organization and sensitivity to each students' specific needs. With experiences like these, I am also equipped to work with a diverse range of people, especially neurodiverse learners.
Although I am not a certified teacher, I have significant experience in the subjects that I tutor. I graduated from IBW High School with honors and a 4.11 weighted GPA. Furthermore, I passed six AP exams: English Language and Composition, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Human Geography, which granted me the AP Scholar with Distinction Award in 2025. In addition, I received a strong SAT score (1300) and obtained A's in nearly all of my classes with a focus in Writing, Algebra, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Social Studies, and more.
I would be delighted to work with and support you in your personal learning journey.
