Natalie M.
Natalie earned a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from Dartmouth College, graduating with several academic distinctions. After college, Natalie pursued a longtime passion for education and spent three years teaching students in fifth through ninth grade at both a Catholic school and an independent college preparatory school, primarily in the humanities.
Throughout their teaching career, they gained extensive experience supporting students with a wide range of learning differences, including ADD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyslexia, and auditory processing challenges. They have also enjoyed working with ESL students, an experience that allowed them to connect their passion for education with their Hispanic background.
As a first-generation college graduate, they are passionate about helping students recognize their individual strengths and feel more confident in academic settings. Their approach is compassionate, patient, and practical, with an emphasis on giving students concrete strategies they can use independently. They incorporate executive functioning tools such as checklists, SMART goals, breaking larger responsibilities into manageable steps, and strategies for working through frustration or overwhelm.
Their goal is to help students develop stronger academic habits while building the confidence, resilience, and independence to navigate challenging situations successfully.
Outside of education, Natalie has a background in powerlifting and dance and enjoy working collaboratively, setting meaningful goals, and taking on new challenges.
