About Me

I enjoy tutoring because I love the chance to adapt to individual students' goals and learning styles. I have a B.A with concentrations in history and political science and an MA in political science from Brandeis. I have also been a teaching assistant at Binghamton University in philosophy, where I gave one-on-one tips in both writing style and content area. My favorite subjects to tutor are history, English, literature, writing, philosophy, and SAT prep. I've always had a passion for narrative and communication, where these subjects in the humanities meet and form a core source of critical thinking skills that fuel inquiry and success in both higher education and life. In addition to teaching at Binghamton and taking on a number of private clients, I designed and taught college-level courses to high school students as part of MIT's Educational Studies Program. This program places undergraduate and post-college instructors with small classes of highly motivated students to tackle advanced subject matter. This gave me excellent experience in pedagogy and adaptive teaching.

Q&A with Nathaniel

My teaching philosophy focuses on using questions to gain insight into exactly what a student needs to work on, and what strengths they can leverage to reach their goals. Questions continue during lessons in the form of Socratic dialogue to suggest approaches to solving problems and digesting material, as well as build critical thinking skills. However, I always emphasize adapting my teaching style to whatever works best for the student, and builds on the approaches and mental models they are most comfortable with.
