    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.

    Présentation

    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.

    Expérience / Qualifications

    Professional Writer and Editor, 2009-Present
    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!

    💯 The best French Lesson : Communicate and write easily in French

I have an efficient and easy method to help students do their exercises and excel in their classes. Just be serious when learning, and in turn I am your faithful support to succeed in this task. Courage, will and enthusiasm are the keystones.

    ✅ PERSUASIVE WRITING, CONTROLLED & EFFECTIVE WRITTEN COMMUNICATION IN THE SERVICE OF PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL OBJECTIVES
    Improve your skills to better manage your written communication: your objectives in terms of written communication may be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to support you in better achieving them. So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact? ➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing. ➤ Relevant and successful written communication must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Coherence between form and content. ➤ So, how can you convince and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your interlocutors relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of your message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques. ➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication. ➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of: ✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors ✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest ✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received ✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language ✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging ✓write proactively and express/transmit your ideas/message clearly ✓propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills ✓enhance your potential for expression and creativity ✓connect your communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) with the form of your expression ✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement ✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects ✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations (...) ➤ In short, each session combines adapted techniques & practical exercises, so that you can put them into practice immediately, and from the first session.
