Testimonials
Tutoring
"Natasha began working with my son at the start of 5th Grade. My son struggled tremendously in ELA and Math. I couldn't thank Natasha enough for her hard work and dedication she brought to the table. Every week my son look forward to showing her his improvement on tests and homework assignments. Three years later, he's entering 8th Grade with the most confidence he has ever shown us before. We are going onto our second year with a 4.0 GPA. Thanks again for always being there when we needed you the most! He couldn't have done this without you!"
"Natasha tutored my 8th grade son and 6th grade daughter for the last two years. Both of my kids are high achieving students and have earned all A’s. Natasha has helped them both in all areas of learning, but mostly a specific emphasis on writing, note-taking, reading, and summarizing strategies, and study skills. Most recently, she helped my son prepare for an interview with a college counselor and discussed goals. With my daughter, she prepared an online platform for my daughter to work through a number of reading comprehension projects to prepare her for 7th grade. Natasha has developed a great rapport with both of my kids and has been a great resource to us. We are thankful for her and all the support over the last couple of years in helping our kids reach academic success."
"Natasha was a great tutor, she took the time and effort to be patient with me when things got tough."
Homeschool Support
"My family was fortunate enough to have Ms. Austin as our Teacher Facilitator for a year and a half. Natasha was always the epitome of professionalism. She came thoroughly prepared for every meeting, was more than willing to spend whatever amount of time was necessary with me and my girls, and did her absolute best to provide nothing but a positive experience for everyone. She always put in the effort to share her stories and experiences and life with the kids (and parents) in order to build a strong relationship and rapport with them. I can say that my kids and I, for one, really enjoyed all of her experiences and stories of her interesting life!
I cannot emphasize enough how indispensable her in-depth knowledge of curricula in all areas and subjects was when it came to choosing the curriculum for my two daughters. In fact, I have no doubt that I will stay in contact with Natasha and utilize her expertise and experience for the foreseeable future. She is an absolutely amazing resource for homeschooling families. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for help in choosing the very best curricula for their children, who is looking to organize their schooling in the most advantageous way for everyone involved, or is simply looking for support throughout their schooling journey whatever that may look like.
We love you, Natasha!"
"The past two years Ms. Austin has been our families facilitator through Sage Oak Charter School. In this time we have been guided with the best possible information and helpful tools. She was well organized and full of informative information to set myself and my kids up for success. A true asset to the teaching field."
"Ms. Austin was my daughters' home school facilitator for their first and fourth grade years. She was very knowledgeable, interactive, and supportive. She provided a lot of great insight, resources and options for their education. My girls looked forward to interacting with her because she was supportive and sweet. I looked forward to talking with her because she was relatable and very helpful. For these reasons, I highly recommend working with Natasha Austin."
Online Classes
"This year I enrolled my daughter in Mrs. Austin's writing class because writing is always a battle between my daughter and I. I have to say I was beyond impressed with the quality of the class and how much my daughter learned. She enjoyed attending the weekly live class session, and was eager to do her writing homework. Mrs. Austin promptly answered any of the questions my daughter sent via email, and her feedback on my daughter's writing was very thorough and encouraging! The best part is I didn't have to do anything, except enjoy reading her wonderful writing assignments. I love how Mrs. Austin held them to high standards by teaching them things like how to avoid plagiarism and how to correctly cite sources. My daughter's writing skills grew a lot this year, and I am very thankful to Mrs. Austin!"
"Ms. Austin teaches and reviews all the writing skills and it helped me be able to put together a strong essay. I like how she's quick to respond and she's also great at giving suggestions on your writing. During class she provided a lot of fun opportunities to review what we learned by using games and activities. I really enjoyed her class and I would recommend you have her for your writing teacher!"
"This past year my daughter was enrolled in Ms. Austin’s writing courses and truly excelled and grew throughout her studies. The classes offered a great variety of writing styles and tools to guide my daughter in her next chapter of English/ Writing. Ms. Austin was always ready to help with fun and engaging activities to support interest and motivation along the way… I would highly recommend her classes and feel that they are beneficial to online students."
"Thank you for all the effort you put in this class to help all of us learn all we know now. If you did not teach us anything at all, I would be using bad grammar, poor vocabulary, and would not know how to present a formal paper. You taught everything that I know now about writing. It is because of you that I am writing this letter to you. You gave me confidence that I can write and feel good about it. Thank you.."
“I thought that this was an amazing class! Every week I got something out of the meeting, and my teacher was amazing!”
“I learned how to argue through writing, which I found very helpful because I am constantly writing new things.”
"I am very satisfied with Ms. Austin's teaching. I learned quite a bit this year from her."
"I liked the way the class was structured and how easy it was to do my work."
