Writing Tutoring and Support, 15+ Years Experience
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.

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.

Hi, I'm Natalie! For over 15 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 15 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!

Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.

We'd do a lot of speaking, exercices, games or interactive activities. Depending on your level, there are also lessons in german history, german politics and differences between german, austrian or swiss german.
