About Nathan
Experience: 3 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Nice to meet you! I'm a former middle school teacher and test prep program instructor. I specialize in preparing students for the state tests, SAT, ACT, and PSAT in Math and ELA. I'm also an essay coach and was a Teacher's Assistant at Northwestern University, my alma mater. I'm a firm believer in every kid's ability to learn and every student's right to a future. One score on a test or a few paragraphs of writing shouldn't stand in the way of the life your child deserves, and they don't have to! I've worked with students from all backgrounds and levels of skill. When I joined my first school in Bed-stuy, New York, my class had a state test pass rate of 28%. Six months later, it was 100%. I was blessed with an incredible education; it's my life's work to give that gift back!

I highly recommend Nathan as a tutor. He worked with my 16-year-old son, A., in both Math and English, and the results were outstanding. In Math, Nathan has an exceptional ability to break down complex problems into simple, easy-to-understand concepts. He knows clever shortcuts and techniques that really helped A. visualize the problem-solving process. His explanations were clear, concise, and tailored to A.’s learning style, making even the most challenging problems seem manageable. For English, Nathan was just as impressive. He guided A. through writing assignments ranging from essays to creative projects like short stories and even playwriting. His use of analogies was spot-on and made difficult concepts click. Whether it was organizing an argument for an essay or developing a character in a story, Nathan provided insightful advice that resonated with A. and improved his writing skills dramatically. Nathan's tutoring was engaging, effective, and personalized. He has a true gift for teaching, and I’m grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my son’s academic growth.
