Meet the funnest Los Angeles tutor!
Natalie has always loved school. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Tufts University, she attended Columbia Teachers College with the mission of bring more fun into the education system!
She taught in the New York City Public School System before transitioning to Middle School History at Horace Mann School. After taking a year off from teaching to move to Los Angeles, Natalie re-discovered her love for travel and pivoted from schoolroom teaching to online tutoring.
Natalie was surprised to find that Zoom is a fabulous platform for one-to-one education - sessions are focused and productive. Students really benefit from the instant (monitored) access to knowledge and resources.
When Natalie is not tutoring, she can be seen gigging as an electric violinist and co-hosting a luxury Venice Beach Airbnb (and teaching the occasional yoga class in their new home in Venice)
