Nathan D., a 35-year-old educator with a Bachelors degree in Math and Physics from Tulane University, brings a blend of classical and hands-on learning to his teaching. With five years of experience at Maine Coast Waldorf School, Nathan specializes in high school math and physics, working out of a pedagogy that engages the head, heart, and hands. His physics classes emphasize observation and real-world demonstrations first, abstract concepts second, and his math classes, though necessarily abstract, are always a conversation and never the dreaded "sage on a stage." Nathan employs the Socratic method, leading the student to find their footing in unfamiliar territory through the power of their own reasoning. He is particularly eager to work with homeschooled students, especially those from Christian backgrounds.
