Natalia: South San Francisco tutor
Certified Tutor
I'm an experienced educator with over 20 years of teaching writing, social sciences, history, and languages at the high school, college, and professional levels. I specialize in helping students build reading, writing, and critical thinking skills across subjects including High School English, Social Studies, AP Human Geography, AP World History, and Spanish.
I hold a Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS) and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Washington. I'm also a recipient of the prestigious Boren Fellowship and a three time FLAS Fellowship awardee, awarded for advanced language and area studies. I speak four languages and bring a global, real-world perspective to every lesson.
In my public health career, I've developed award-winning educational programs, mentored students in writing and research, and supported learners in gaining skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
Whether you're writing essays, preparing for AP courses, or working to strengthen reading, writing, and study skills, I tailor every session to your learning style and goals.

I’m a lifelong learner who thrives on exploring complex ideas and putting them into practice. As an avalanche instructor with the National Ski Patrol and a certified ski instructor, I combine my love of teaching with advanced training in mountain safety and outdoor leadership. I stay active in endurance sports and continually review scientific research in exercise physiology, nutrition, and training optimization to fine-tune both my performance and coaching strategies. Beyond science, I’m passionate about history, economic policy, and political theory, and I enjoy studying how these forces shape our world today. Whether in the classroom, on the mountain, or mentoring students, I love helping others bridge the gap between theory and real-world success.
