"Hi, I'm Nathaniel. I work with students to build confidence, master strategies, and reach their academic goals—especially when it comes to the SAT.

I'm a PhD student at Yale and have spent the past seven years tutoring students across the country. I've taught over 1000 one-on-one SAT sessions, and my students have gone on to top schools including Yale, MIT, Brown, Penn, UCLA, and Vanderbilt—almost always improving their scores by 150–300 points (reach out if you want more details on this!). I care most about empowering students to feel in control of their learning, whether they're aiming for a perfect score or just trying to break past a plateau. The SAT can feel like a hurdle—but it's also a real chance to build confidence and hit meaningful academic milestones.

My sessions are focused, personalized, and efficient. I look for patterns in what's holding a student back—whether it's timing, question types, or confidence—and help build smarter strategies to move forward. I also come with a full set of custom materials: practice problems, diagnostics, and targeted review tools built from years of experience.

And if you're aiming for a 1500+, I can offer a score guarantee—if you stick to the plan and put in enough time to improve your score, I'll get you there.

While the SAT is my main focus, I also tutor a wide range of subjects, including math (Algebra through Calculus), reading and writing, philosophy, psychology, government, and more. I've worked with middle schoolers through college students, and I always try to meet students where they are—supportive when needed, rigorous when it counts.

I'd be glad to chat on the phone about you or your student's personal needs, free of charge! Please don't hesitate to reach out." less...
