Results-Driven SSAT Prep, All Sections and Levels, 16+ Years Experience

From 88 £ /h

Hi, I'm Natalie! For over 16 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!

About Me

For over 16 years, I have helped more than 6000 students in grades 1-12 excel in their classes and comprehensively prepare for upcoming exams. I've also worked as a professional writer and editor since 2009. My tutoring specialty is test preparation for the SSAT, ISEE, CogAT, SCAT, HSPT, MAP, CTP ERB, TACHS, SAT, and ACT exams. I also do writing coaching and tutoring! 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 ACT student raised his math score from 27 to 34 after just 8 lessons, several of my SSAT students scored in the 98th percentile, and a CogAT student scored in the 99th 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. That includes online resources, recommended practice, and enrichment learning.

Results-Driven ISEE Prep, All Sections and Levels, 16+ Years Experience

88 £ /h

Hi, I'm Natalie! For over 16 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.

SAT Test Prep, All Sections, High Scores, 16+ Years Experience

88 £ /h

Hi, I'm Natalie, and I have been working as a private tutor for over 16 years. I have helped countless high school students with test prep for the SAT sections since 2015.

For SAT Math, students work with me through practice sets and practice tests so they can learn how to dissect problems in a quick, practical way and find the right answers. Their time management and test-taking skills improve through regular test prep as they master how to navigate both sections. For the SAT Reading and Writing section, students now have to tackle reading comprehension and writing skills/mechanics simultaneously. I help them dissect the given paragraphs to quickly and efficiently answer the questions using good strategies and time-saving techniques. We go through practice tests and practice questions so they are fully prepared for testing day.

I focus on concept review, strategies and approach, and time management techniques. Committed students score in the top percentiles and are admitted to the schools of their choice. Contact me today to see how we can get your test prep started!

I am a trained French teacher with a degree in linguistics. I have been teaching since 2012 and I support candidates in improving their French and preparing for official exams.

The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen.

We are working on the different challenges:
- listening comprehension;
- understanding of written texts;
- written production;
- oral production.

The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions.

Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions.

Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work.

As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production.

Before we begin, simply tell me the diploma and level you are preparing for, the scheduled date of the exam, and the difficulties you wish to work on as a priority.

Do you have a statistics or probability exam in BA1/BA2? I can help you review the material in a clear, structured and exam-oriented way.

I support higher education students (university and college), particularly in their first and second years of undergraduate studies, to understand important concepts, redo practical exercises, and practice with exam-style questions.

My goal is simple: to help you understand the logic behind formulas, know when to use them, recognize correct reasoning in a statement, and gain autonomy when facing exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Descriptive statistics:
mean, median, variance, standard deviation, quartiles, quantiles, coefficient of variation, box plots, histograms, graphs, interpretation of tables and data.

• Univariate and bivariate statistics:
analysis of one variable, analysis of two variables, scatter plots, covariance, correlation, regression line, coefficient of determination, interpretation of relationships between variables.

• Probabilities:
events, union, intersection, complement, conditional probabilities, independence, Bayes' theorem, probability trees, contingency tables.

• Combinatorial probabilities:
permutations, arrangements, combinations, draws with or without replacement, counting, classic exam situations.

• Random variables:
discrete and continuous variables, probability function, density function, distribution function, expectation, variance, standard deviation, variable transformation.

• Probability laws:
Bernoulli distribution, binomial distribution, normal distribution, standard normal distribution, Student's t-distribution, chi-square distribution, use of statistical tables according to your course.

• Statistical inference:
sampling, estimators, point estimation, confidence intervals, margin of error, degrees of freedom, confidence level.

• Hypothesis testing:
null hypothesis H0, alternative hypothesis H1, significance threshold, p-value, one-tailed or two-tailed test, test on a mean, test on a proportion, chi-square test, interpretation of results.

• Exam preparation:
reading statements, choosing the right method, identifying the formulas to use, typical exercises, past exams, guided corrections and problem-solving methods.

Method of working :

1. We quickly identify the chapters that are causing problems;
2. I re-explain the theory with simple examples;
3. We redo the important exercises together;
4. I will show you how to recognize good reasoning in the exam;
5. We construct a clear method that can be reused independently.

I don't just provide a correction: I explain the reasoning step by step so that you are able to redo the exercises without help.

For students retaking the exam, I also offer more intensive support: level assessment, priority identification, review of fundamentals, and practice with typical exercises and past exams. The goal is to get straight to the point and work efficiently within the time available before the exam.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

My professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte has also allowed me to develop a very structured approach to numbers, analysis and problem-solving.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

I scored a 1550 on the SAT and have been helping students prepare for the SAT for over 3 years, with a consistent focus on helping students reach and exceed the 1500+ range.
This class is designed to go beyond simply reviewing SAT content. We will focus on strategy, efficiency, accuracy, and the specific habits that separate a good SAT score from an exceptional one.

What we will focus on
- How to approach difficult SAT questions efficiently
- Strategies for consistently scoring 1500+
- How to recognize common SAT question patterns and traps
- Techniques for eliminating answer choices quickly
- How to manage time effectively across the entire test
- When to use your calculator and how to use it efficiently
- How to approach unfamiliar questions without getting stuck
- Strategies for maximizing both Math and Reading & Writing
- Common mistakes that prevent students from breaking 1500
- How to analyze practice tests and identify exactly where points are being lost
- How to turn weaknesses into measurable score improvements

Advanced strategies for students already scoring in the 1400–1500+ range
We will work through challenging, realistic SAT-style questions and focus on why certain approaches work, rather than simply memorizing rules or solutions.
Whether you are trying to break 1400, reach 1500, or push toward 1550+, the goal of this class is to give you a clear strategy for approaching the SAT and maximizing every available point.

You don't need to know everything to score 1500+. You need to know how to recognize the question, choose the right strategy, and execute it efficiently.
