About BARBARA
The fact that I have been a highly successful tutor for eight years and that my students continue with me week after week is a testament to my professionalism. I know that falling behind in class or being unable to advance in your career due to poor reading and writing skills can be discouraging and depressing. But more importantly, just as I have helped many other people in your shoes achieve their potential, I can do the same for you.

I am a professional writer with a Master's degree in psychology. As a former preventive services social worker and more recently as an online writer and editor, I was amazed by the prevalence of poor reading and writing skills, even among children and adults who have always lived in this country. That is why in 2016, I seized the opportunity to complete a training program to become a certified tutor for Literacy NJ. During my eight years of tutoring, my students have ranged from those who could barely read at all to those reading and writing at a high school level. The three students I currently tutor have been receiving weekly individual instruction from me since 2020, and all three are reading at least four grades higher than when they started. What sets me apart as a tutor is that I tailor the content to each individual's abilities and interests. Each student also receives weekly homework consisting of 20 words to put into sentences and, for the more advanced students, an essay on a topic we select together. Reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and pronunciation are all covered, with each student getting plenty of practice in weak areas. I have also found it to be highly motivating to give spelling tests and reading passages with numerical grades, and I add comments like "Good work" or "Excellent" whenever appropriate. In addition, I am very patient and empathetic. I recognize that reading and writing are not the only areas of life my students are struggling with, so I avoid pressuring or criticizing them. Instead, I focus on challenging them to achieve a higher level and praising them when they succeed.

Barbara is very knowledgeable about the English language and is able to provide the information necessary for advance understanding and achievement for her students. She works well with her students.
Ten years ago I meet Barbara when I was assigned to her to be my volunteer tutor at Literacy New Jersey Atlantic Cape County.
She generously gave up her time to help me and others to correctly read and write using the English language.
With compassion, she shared her wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of English to us (her students) that came from different backgrounds, educational experiences, and learning levels.
She helped us to develop our hidden talents, to be creative with our potentials, to read and write better, and to recognize our own strengths and mistakes.
I still struggle with the complexity of the English language, but, will continue to think about Barbara Nathan’s lessons and thank her (wherever I may be) for her tips to help me with overcoming my handicap with the English language.
I highly recommend Barbara Nathan to be hired as an English teacher for your students because she can handle the diversity of learning levels from pre-kindergarten to adult education.View more recommendations
