Tutor Natalie Tutor Profile
This tutor is currently on leave.
Hi there! I'm Natalie —a minimalist with a passion for the outdoors and fitness. As an educator, I specialize in the Montessori approach, which truly resonates with me. Balancing parenthood with raising two spirited girls keeps me on my toes, and when we're not exploring board games together, you'll often find me delving into my roots as a biologist. I'm also a certified language teacher and dabble in fiber art during my downtime.
I cherish my work as much as I do my leisure time. Having lived in various countries, I've developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and cuisines. That's me in a nutshell—curious, active, and always eager to learn and create.
When I'm not teaching, you'll often find me:
- SCUBA diving, trekking, and camping to connect with nature.
- Engaged in weight lifting, yoga, and exploring nutrition for a healthy lifestyle.
- Unwinding through knitting, crochet, and the art of calligraphy.
- Engaging in strategic board games for fun and mental stimulation.
- Delving into topics like education, homeschooling, and neurodiversity to broaden my understanding and support others.
I've spent time:
- Three years in the capital of Serbia, conducting my PhD research on the evolution and diversification of insects.
- One summer on the Croatian coast, exploring remote islands and their hidden treasures.
- Six months on the islands of Spain, volunteering in a marine center, snorkeling, and marveling at dolphins.
- Four years soaking up the vibrant day and nightlife of Berlin.
- One year immersing myself in the rich cultural tapestry of Istanbul, straddling two continents.
- One year savoring the flavors of Tuscany, indulging in schiaciata and sipping chianti.
- One year in mainland Spain, mastering the language and embracing local customs.
