Award-Winning Tutors from University of Notre Dame

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend. I'm studying Mechanical Engineering and computer science. I've always loved math and sports, and I've developed the skills to help others succeed in learning both. Whether teaching my classmates, friends, or brothers in academics or soccer my goal is to make sure that learning is both fun and rewarding.

I love to learn, and I love to teach. My enthusiasm for the material, coupled with my experience teaching students of all ages and abilities, provides an excellent tutoring experience for my clients. I have high expectations for my students, and I work just as hard as they do to ensure that we achieve our goals. Our sessions will be constructive. They will also be fun!

I have a background in science and math. I graduated with a PhD from the University of Notre Dame, an MS from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a BS (summa cum laude – with highest honors) from the Inter American University of Puerto Rico. My major subjects were Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and Chemistry.I worked for many years at Bayer and at Hach Company in Elkhart. My team developed products used to analyze different materials. These products are used in clinics and medical offices around the world. We developed new chemical testing devices for analyzing water in the environment, in industry and in pools and spas. I also developed complex mathematics used in electronic instruments. I hold several U.S. and foreign patents; the most recent issued in April 2014.For many years, I was a youth soccer coach in the Concord league and was a player in an adult soccer league. I create YouTube videos for fun, information and training purposes. My wife and I raised two children who graduated from Concord High School and Purdue University, and went on to earn graduate degrees.As a math teacher, I have had the satisfaction of seeing students see the light, find their way in math, and start to explore and blaze new trails of their own. I help others to see math clearly. I tutor all levels of algebra. I also teach online and traditional math classes at Ivy Tech Community College in Elkhart and South Bend. My philosophy is that every student is capable of learning and applying math principles. My passion is to provide a boost to get them going.

I recently retired from the US Army after 17 years as an analyst and adviser on Northeast Asian policy. I hold a BA in Japanese Language and Government/International Relations from Notre Dame, an MA in Asian Studies from the University of Hawaii, and am currently working on PhD in Japanese History at Princeton University.Over my time in the Army, I worked in 4 different countries with partners from over 20 different nations, both military and civilian. I spent 7 years in Japan working as a liaison, policy adviser, and sometime interpreter/translator. However, the job I enjoyed most was as the chief of a team training Army units preparing to conduct joint exercises with Asia-Pacific partners. I really enjoyed teaching and sharing my experiences in order to prepare soldiers to succeed and bring the same enthusiasm to tutoring.The best way to remember something is to have it practically apply to you--I try to bring out the "so what" in every subject to help students understand why it is important. As a tutor for the past 3 years, 3/4 of my students in AP European History and AP American History have scored 5s on the AP exam.

Hi I'm Quinton! I'm a PhD student at the University of Notre Dame and I love talking about chemistry! To me, chemistry is a hands-on, creative discipline, much like art, where we solve problems and design things the world hasn't seen before. As your tutor, my goal is to help you build the skills and confidence you need to think critically, approach challenges creatively, and build a deep, genuine understanding of the material.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, with a Master's degree in Management. Before Notre Dame, I studied English Writing and French at Saint Mary's College, and French is by far my tutoring passion. My favorite thing about tutoring is just being able to share the subjects I love with other people. I have previous experience tutoring French and writing at Saint Mary's College, where I have received pedagogical training as a part of my work. I know how to help students become better learners overall, instead of just getting a better grade on one assignment. Outside of the classroom, I love video games, Jane Austin, and singing.

I am a 2024 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where I studied Biochemistry with a Concentration in Neuroscience.

Hey! If you're struggling with CS topics, I'll make sure you feel confident. After graduating from my bachelor's, I taught an intensive 7-week coding bootcamp to a group of high school students - most of whom had never written a line of code. Several of them decided to major in CS afterwards. I found a passion for teaching along with furthering my passion for computer science. My favorite feeling is when a concept clicks and the student reaches the "aha" moment. I will work with you and try as many times as needed to help clarify a topic.
