    ACT Test Prep, All Sections, High Scores, 14+ Years Experience

    Hi, I'm Natalie, and I have been working as a private tutor for over 14 years. I help students prepare for all sections of the ACT. I use different techniques to approach each section so they can score high. In addition to working through practice tests with me and on their own, they also complete practice homework outside of lessons. We use only the best resources and materials. My most recent student reached a composite score of 35 after a 7-point increase in his ACT Math score after just 8 lessons!

    I focus on concept review, strategies and approach, and time management techniques. Committed students score in the top percentiles and are admitted to the schools of their choice. Contact me today to see how we can get your test prep started on the right foot!

    About Me

    Since 2010, I have helped more than 6000 students understand their homework, excel in their classes, and comprehensively prepare for upcoming exams. With my support, my students pinpoint struggle areas and conquer them so they can achieve their goals in school and life. They make progress in their studies and score in the top percentiles on tests. One of my students aced her precalculus final exam, an ACT student raised his math score from 27 to 34, and 2 SSAT students scored in the 98th percentile!

    The key formula for successful learning is “practice makes perfect”: anyone can improve with enough hard work, dedication, and, of course, the right guidance. I don't just teach my students what they need to know: I show them how to build on the skills they already have and reach their true potential. I know from my own experience how hard it is to learn any subject and how much harder it is to find the right teacher. Now I explain the same concepts I've mastered to countless students who need my help. I customize my online lessons to fit every student’s needs.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Private Tutoring: Math, English, writing, grammar, test prep (SSAT, ISEE, SAT, ACT, SCAT, CogAT), 2010-Present
    Professional Writer and Editor, 2009-Present
    Hi, I'm Natalie! For over 14 years, I’ve helped students prepare for all sections of the ISEE exam. We focus on concept review, strategy/approach, and good time management techniques so they can reach their score goals. *Lower Level ISEE, Middle Level ISEE, and Upper Level ISEE: Whether students see me to target specific struggle areas or to fully prepare for each section, they make progress and increase their scores, consistently scoring in the top percentiles. Strategies, time management, and test-taking skills are the central focus of our ISEE preparation. For the Verbal Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections, we work on extensive vocabulary review, sentence completion exercises, and reading practice. For the Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematics Achievement sections, we complete any necessary concept review and work through related practice questions together. I especially coach solving quantitative comparisons, a question type unique to the ISEE and other tests created by ETS. Additionally, I have helped students strengthen and improve their writing for the unscored ISEE essay section so their submissions highlight their voices, talents, and achievements.
    Hi, I'm Natalie! For over 14 years, I’ve helped students prepare for all sections of the SSAT exam. We focus on concept review, strategy/approach, and good time management techniques so they can reach their score goals. *Elementary Level SSAT, Middle Level SSAT, and Upper Level SSAT: I offer prep for all the test sections: Verbal, Reading, and Quantitative. With my guidance, students master analogies, build their vocabulary knowledge, sharpen their reading skills, and learn how to quickly solve math problems. We focus on strategies, time management, and any necessary concept review. I also guide them through the SSAT essay/short story section so their writing really shines and sets them apart from other applicants. Whether students invest months in their test prep or spend a few lessons with me to improve their test performance, they raise their scores and become better test takers. One of my most successful students raised his overall score by 86 points after only 6 lessons, and 2 other students scored in the 98th percentile for highly competitive schools!
    Hi, I'm Natalie! I’ve been working as a professional writer and editor since 2009, and I started to offer writing tutoring in 2010. During all my years of writing coaching, I have worked with hundreds of students who have never been taught how to write strong, descriptive sentences. They don’t understand how to construct a well-organized, meaningful paragraph, or they have never seen an essay developed without the famous “5 Paragraph Structure” outline in place. They do not know what critical thinking is or how it helps them become assertive, enthusiastic writers. The writing process itself is also a learning process from start to finish. Before we begin lessons, students submit a short writing sample so I can assess which skill area we should target first. Writing coaching is where I show and guide my students how to better their writing using different techniques. Like in any sport or the arts, evaluation and constructive criticism are another important aspect of their writing growth. They get feedback and advice specific to the assignments and projects they are working on, and practice outside of lessons is necessary if they want to see regular improvement and make progress. We also work on writing mechanics, which includes English grammar rules. This helps them become stronger writers and speakers, aware of common mistakes and how to avoid them. You want your child to practice grammar skills with a native speaker who has studied English for decades and knows the rules inside out. Every person in the world has the potential to be a confident, eloquent writer. All it takes is one step — or sentence — forward in the right direction. I am excited to walk with you on the path to successful writing.

    SAT and ACT Online Prep - Prepare for the NEW Digital SAT Test
    I've been preparing students to take US standardized admission tests for the last 7 years. I specialize in the Math section of these exams. My one-on-one classes are tailored to my student's needs and I'm 100% committed to increasing their scores by teaching them not only the basics of Math but also strategies to hit high-difficulty questions. Here are some characteristics of my online classes: * I prefer google meets but I'm open to using any other platform (skype, zoom, Webex, etc) * Lecture notes are saved on a PDF file so students can revise them and study after class (I use a graphic tablet to make notes and solve practice problems) ------ No additional costs for course materials (books) and practice tests ------ * Students have free access to the best Math resources: Official Practice Tests, Collegeboard Practice Problems, CollegePanda, Kaplan, Barrons, etc.

    French Baccalaureate for first grade: Revision, preparation of files and oral training
    The French baccalaureate is the first important test for a high school student, it is therefore a question of preparing them to learn but above all to understand; the era of rote learning is a bit over, you now have to show the examiner that you have understood the work and that you can talk about it "naturally". Preparation is therefore essential, the work must be mastered and stress managed on the day of the test. If you would like to help the future high school graduate, I offer revision and preparation courses for the French baccalaureate and baccalaureate. Feel free to contact me for more information

    SAT preparation - online and in presence classes !
    I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools, helping them with the preparation of tests such as the SAT and ACT. I believe that the key for a successful preparation of a challenging test such as the SAT is exercise, in fact I believe that is crucial to start the preparation with an adequate advance to gain confidence with the standard exercises we can find in the exam. My lessons are based on mock exercises: we go through them together seeing what are the student's gaps and then reviewing the theory of those gaps. I also believe that my method I successful since I can relate to the fear and anxiety a student preparing such a stressful exam is living, having prepared it not so long ago.
