About Natalie

I take the extra step in building a personal relationship with the student(s) I tutor. This is one of the many reasons I wanted to become a teacher. I want to learn about them and truly understand what their struggling with and why. My students are not just a number to me... they are the future generation. I want to help them in any way I can, whether it be through reading, writing, or math, so that they can become the best version of themselves. I want to help them become independent critical thinkers who are confident in their abilities.

I enjoy seeing the look on a student's face when it "clicks". I enjoy explaining or providing knowledge to a student about something they may have not been able to understand in the past. I enjoy using my knowledge and experience for the betterment of other people. I enjoy helping people succeed at their struggles. I enjoy helping students achieve their goals and make new, challenging ones. I enjoy providing new ways to solve problems. I enjoy making something that was once difficult, something that can be done with ease.

I've worked with many stuggling students, and to see them take a step forward in understanding something or seeing the enjoyment in their face because they accomplished something, it feels my heart with joy.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and an Elementary Teaching Credential. I completed my student teaching in January - June 2020, where I taught 2nd grade in person for 3 months, and assisted the 4th grade teacher in virtual learning for 3 months. I have been tutoring on and off for about 10 years. I've tutored Kindergarten, 2nd - 3rd grade, and help out friends with basic college level math. Currently, I am a tutor for a child who is doing independent study through his school district. I am provided with the lesson worksheet for the week and then I plan out each day what lessons and what work is to be done. I also supplement his schoolwork with P.E., art, and challenging activities as needed.

About the lesson

When meeting with a new student, the first thing I like to do is get to know them on a personal level. What are their interests? What do they like to do for fun? Who is their family? I like to develop a trusting relationship with the student so they feel comfortable around me. If a student feels comfortable, they are much more likely to learn and retain new information. I then assess where they are in their needs, what are their strengths and weaknesses? What do they feel they struggle with the most? Lastly, we make a plan to get them where they need to be/want to be.

I've worked with pre-kindergarten students all the way through college graduated students. I've worked with students in low-income areas, Title I schools, and students from middle-class families. I've worked with students with disabilities such as ADD, students who are 3 - 4 grades behind, and foster children.

My advice would be to look at their credentials, degrees, experience, and history. Reach out to any tutor you are interested in, and see if they are a fit. If they aren't a fit, move onto the next one. Don't be discouraged if you work with a tutor and they are unable to help you. That might mean that you as a student don't learn the way that tutor teaches. Try out different people and see who you work best with. Finding a tutor is remarkably similar to finding a therapist, you have to click with that person. You have to find commonalities with them, and you have to be able to build a relationship with them. Also, DON'T BE EMBARRASSED about your struggles. Don't be ashamed, we ALL have our weaknesses and things we have to work extra hard at.

While completing my student teaching in 2020, I tutored a 1st grade student who was also a foster child. She was temporarily placed in a home while awaiting a decision on when she could be back with her parents. Due to COVID, we did our tutoring sessions online 2x/week for 2 hours. The student was struggling with reading and wasn't grasping the ideas of long-e and short-e sounds. I did an activity where I held up a word card like "mad" and then a word card with the letter "e" and had her repeat this many times. We practiced this many times and one time when she was reading a passage, she didn't struggle to read the difference between the long-e and short-e sounds. After she read, I told her she read it perfectly with no errors and her face lit up. It was something I was proud of because she was proud of herself.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Questions students should think about are:

What am I struggling with? What am I looking to accomplish at the end of tutoring? How much does the tutor charge? What is their experience? What expertise do they have? What kind of credentials do they have?

Natalie is supervising our second grader with his independent study curriculum during the pandemic. Our son loves working with her. She carefully structures the curriculum into lesson plans for the week and even offers some creative and fun supplemental activities to what the curriculum offers. They are always laughing together, and our son has learned and grown so much under her supervision. Natalie is always prompt and very professional. She is a fabulous teacher, and she is warm and easy to work with. Would highly recommend her as a tutor!

Natalie has the gift of teaching. She's patient and has a way of explaining things in a way that just make sense. I was having trouble with my college math class. She took the time to break things down to ensure I truly understood it. Asking for that level of detail and patience can be a little intimidating but not with Natalie. She's there to help and genuinely wants you to succeed. So don't be afraid to ask her to explain things differently if you still don't get it. She's great at it. I aced my class and couldn't have done it without her. As a previous student, I can vouch for her teaching abilities. I highly recommend her. You'll be glad that she's your tutor. She's incredibly humble, warm, genuine, and friendly.
