Educator, Entrepreneur, & the creator behind Traveling Miss T.’s Math Maps ©.

Meet Natalie Teboul. Owner of NBTutors LLC, founder of The Learning Space at Inspired Movement, and inventor of Traveling Miss T.’s Math Maps ©. Natalie tutors all grade levels and subjects, and is passionate about creating engaging curriculum, and shaping tomorrow's thinkers and leaders!

Following college in 2014, Natalie was accepted into the New York City Teaching Fellows. Through this program, Natalie taught 6th grade math and science in the Bronx. She also served as a 7th grade advisor, helped plan and execute one of NYC's largest math tournaments, and coached the middle school dance team. All while obtaining her Master’s in Education from St. John's University - with a concentration in 7th-12th grade mathematics.

After graduating from SJU, and two years of teaching in one of the highest-need areas in the country, Natalie wrote about her experience and was accepted into San Diego State University's M.F.A. program with a Presidential Graduate Research Fellowship. She was also the recipient of the Preby's Creative and Performing Arts Endowed Scholarship in 2019.

At SDSU, Natalie completed a manuscript, and graduated with an M.F.A. in Creative Writing in May of 2019. All the while, she worked full time as an Elementary School Math Specialist (2016-2018) and a 5th Grade General Studies teacher (2018-2020) at a private academy in San Diego. In response to the pandemic in the summer of 2020, Natalie established The Learning Space at Inspired Movement Dance. Currently, she works as the Director of Education where she runs the studio’s internship program, and works as the liaison between school districts and the dance studio.

In 2022, Natalie began development of Traveling Miss T.’s Math Maps ©. A "passion project gone berserk," Natalie is now partnered with more than 50 public land sites across the nation, and strives to make learning an adventure that is accessible to all.

When Natalie’s not traveling the world by Coordinate Plane or tutoring, she loves to tap dance, hike, and cook... (While listening to Taylor Swift, of course!)
