My name is Nathalie, and I'm a tutor in Williamstown, MA, offering help in English, Math, World History, AP United States History, AP Government, AP French, AP Calculus AB, and the SAT (I scored 1490 (Math 760, Reading and Writing 790)). I'm currently attending Williams as a freshman where I’m planning on majoring in Political Science and Mathematics. I’m from New York City and I went to Stuyvesant High School. During my time there I took various AP courses and did extracurriculars both and outside of school. While I attended Stuyvesant, I was forcefully made to skip algebra 1. My middle school also didn’t prepare me adequately enough for the rigor of my school. Due to those circumstances, I struggled in math at first. Thankfully my math teacher encouraged me to seek help, and I ended high school with a 97 in AP Calc AB. I definitely understand the struggle of asking for help. As a kid I even had a tutor to help me learn how to read, because I was very behind. Nowadays I love to read! My favorite author is Donna Tartt. I also enjoy writing and I’m currently taking a Comparative literature course. During high school I was a part of the writing center as well. I often take a look at both my friends and family’s essays for various purposes, such as just regular English essays and college ones. Regarding college, I was a part of a program called APEX youth where my peers and I had mentors who guided us through the college process. Some other activities I did included playing first chair flute, where I led my younger peers through music such as the Carmen Suite. I also worked at the New York Botanical Garden as an Advanced explainer and camp counselor in the Everett’s Children Adventure Garden. Here I did research on phenology and taught children of all ages about the outdoors. One of my favorite experiences was studying abroad in Rennes, France; where I stayed with a host family and took a French class. I did French all four years of high school up to the level of AP French and would love to pass it on. Currently at Williams I am a part of Mock Trial, Law Journal, and I work as a barista!

If you have a specific tutor in mind, you're welcome to request them directly — we'll confirm whether they're available and the right fit for your student. Otherwise, Ryan writes a personal email to understand your student's needs, learning style, and goals — then handpicks a tutor from the roster. You're not filling out a form and getting assigned randomly. If the first tutor isn't the right fit after the first session, we'll find you a better match at no extra charge.
Yes. Many families start with a single session to see how the tutor and student connect before committing to a regular schedule. There's no pressure to book in advance — reach out and we'll set something up.
Yes. Many of our tutors are strong across several subjects, and sessions can cover more than one if that's what the student needs that week. Flexibility is built into how we work.
Most of our tutors continue working through breaks, either online or in-person at the college if the tutors remain on campus during that vacation. We'll let you know in advance if a tutor has a gap in availability and arrange coverage with one of our other tutors — in-person or online — in the required subject.
Occasionally, if the student lives very close to the tutor's campus. Most sessions take place on or near the college campus or online. This keeps sessions in an academically focused environment — which tends to produce better results.
The families who see the biggest results are the ones who commit to a regular cadence — typically once, twice, or three times a week. One-on-one tutoring with a student from an elite college, who genuinely understands the material, is a fundamentally different experience from a tutoring center or an app. Most of our clients stay with us for multiple semesters.
