Holden
BA University of Notre Dame
10+ Years Tutoring

As a student who came up through New Orleans Public schools I know firsthand the difference that a devoted teacher can make for a student. I was a decent student during elementary, middle, and high school, but I didn't work to my potential. The educational experience that changed my life was due to my displacement following Hurricane Katrina. I had the opportunity to take a physical science class in which I was constructively challenged. Through this class I discovered an intellectual curiosity that I didn't know I had. My teacher always spoke about how the tests became fun if you understood the material, and in the midst of difficulty found a reason to push on. It was refreshing to have an adult taking an interest in my academic achievement – someone who wanted me to exceed my own expectations.My passion to educate and to be the change in other students’ lives stems from my experiences with phenomenal teachers, tutors, and mentors. Teaching both middle school and high school courses has allowed me to become familiar with the opportunity gap that is affecting students across the country. Considering my own academic journey and how fortunate I've been, I don't merely feel compelled to help young students; I feel duty-bound. Helping to shape the minds and lives of young people is the least I can do to make a difference and honor those who have sacrificed on my behalf.

I excel at tutoring biological subjects, but I also really enjoy helping students improve their writing and standardized testing skills. Every student is different, and so I firmly believe that studying and learning habits should be tailored to each person. I make it a goal to help students discover how they learn best! I can also help students with organization and time management techniques along the way.When I'm not being a student, teacher, or researcher, I am usually making art or exploring the outdoors in sunny Arizona!

Learning has always been a passion of mine, and I just love expanding my brain with new facts and information. Few things are as rewarding as imparting that knowledge to another, and for that reason I have chosen to become a tutor. I firmly believe that the more informed and educated one is the better prepared they are to meet life's challenges.I currently work as an IT specialist for the Federal Public Defender's office and have been doing so for the past 5 years. I love my work as I get to incorporate my passion for computers while at the same time utilize my law degree. There is never a dull moment in our office as we get to interact with some of the most colorful characters that even Law & Order writers couldn't come up with in their wildest dreams. My position has also given me the flexibility to be available weeknights and weekends, which I took advantage of for 2 years while attending culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu.I feel most comfortable working with students in high school or beyond with my main areas of focus being LSAT preparation, English, grammar, and essay writing. My friends and family come to me for proofreading or editing because they know I am fanatical about spelling, punctuation, grammar, writing style, and substance. The written word is not something to dread or fear as the ability to read and write well can do nothing but open doors for you in the future.I consider myself a pretty laid-back, positive person with an approachable personality, and I never shy away from a good laugh. I have even been known to do amateur stand-up comedy on occasion. If nothing else it does wonders for overcoming any fear of public speaking. I have a lighthearted approach and have every confidence in our ability, together, to overcome whatever goals you have set for yourself.I grew up in the DFW area and attended Grapevine High School before getting my B.A. from Notre Dame and then returning for my J.D. from SMU. I have pretty much lived in the area my whole life. When I'm not golfing, I enjoy pub trivia as I consider myself a wealth of random, useless information. I also enjoy cooking, rowing, camping, and the occasional chess tournament. Nothing can put your ego in check faster than being schooled by an 8-year-old prodigy (pun intended).You can see samples of some of my writing at http://brettmw.hubpages.com/

I received my Bachelors Degree in Biology at St. Edward's University, and received my Master of Science in Entrepreneurial Technology at the University of Notre Dame. I have loved science all my life! When I was younger I wanted to be a veterinarian, so to get exposure with animals, I worked at the zoo for four years. I learned a lot, and was able to share my knowledge with the campers during the summer. Finishing high school, and going into college, I still loved science, especially biology, but my focus shifted towards the human body. Not only did I excel in my classes, but I was again given the opportunity to share my knowledge by becoming a tutor, a teaching assistant in the biology labs, and even a supplemental instructor for some of the beginner courses. My passion for sharing everything I've learned has been stifled in the past year or so, so I am excited for the opportunity to continue tutoring. I like to make my sessions engaging, but also circle back to the big picture. I know that I was always curious about where a lesson was going, and I want to make sure any students I help has an understanding for why the current topic is so important. I know studying can seem boring and some subjects seem too difficult to ever understand, but I promise to help keep our sessions fun and informative.

What does a molecule of glucose encounter while going through glycolysis? How does the human body process information from the world around it?

BA University of Notre Dame
10+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2014 and have been working a variety of jobs from helping out at local hospitals to tutoring and being a research assistant. So far, I have enjoyed tutoring the most because I love seeing students' aha moments. My interest in tutoring begins from my time as a student. I loved to tackle tough problems especially in my math and physics class and was also intensely curious about problem solving in general. My own methods relied heavily on intuition. which was quite irritating as I like to know exactly how things work. Over time, I realized that this intuition was more than luck. In fact, it was a working knowledge of ideas and concepts on a particular topic acquired through hundreds of hours of prior preparation combined with a particular sense of translating a problem into terms I could understand. This understanding reflects in my own teaching style. I like to use discussion to first elicit a student's understanding of the subject. Then, with structured guidance through problems I further develop the student's understanding so that they can see the big picture, including strengths, weaknesses, and implications of a particular concept. These naturally build into developing critical thinking skills. While I currently tutor a wide array of subjects, I am most interested in tutoring Math (geometry, algebra 1/2/prealgebra, trigonometry), Physics 1 and 2, General Chemistry (Honors, AP, or college level), and the MCAT Foundations of Physical Science and Critical Analysis and Reasoning sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from University of Notre Dame bring both academic excellence and real-world experience. They've successfully navigated Notre Dame's rigorous curriculum, which means they understand what it takes to master challenging material. Beyond their degree, many have professional experience in their fields and have honed their teaching skills through working with students at various levels.

Alumni tutors bring insider knowledge of rigorous coursework and high academic standards. They've been through demanding classes themselves, so they know which concepts trip up students most and how to break them down effectively. Beyond subject expertise, they understand the mindset and work ethic needed for success—and can share strategies that helped them excel at a top university.

Notre Dame tutors work across a wide range of subjects including engineering, sciences, mathematics, business, humanities, and languages. Because Notre Dame offers specialized programs in fields like aerospace engineering, architecture, and theology, you can connect with tutors who have deep expertise in these areas. Whether you need help with core academic subjects or more specialized coursework, alumni tutors understand both foundational concepts and advanced applications.

Yes. Notre Dame alumni tutors have experience preparing for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT. They've taken these exams themselves and understand the strategies that lead to strong scores. They can help you identify weak areas, develop a study plan, and practice with realistic problems to build both confidence and performance.

Absolutely. Alumni tutors can be especially valuable for high school students preparing for college-level work. They can help strengthen foundational skills in core subjects, guide essay writing and research skills, and share insights about what college coursework actually demands. This preparation is particularly helpful if you're aiming for selective universities or challenging majors like engineering or pre-med.

One-on-one instruction allows a tutor to adapt completely to your learning style, pace, and specific goals. A Notre Dame tutor can focus entirely on your weak areas, ask questions to check your understanding, and adjust explanations in real-time. Research on learning shows that personalized instruction is significantly more effective than group settings because it targets exactly what you need—no time wasted on material you've already mastered.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who match your specific needs—whether that's subject area, academic level, or learning goals. You can share details about what you're working on, and we'll match you with a qualified Notre Dame alumnus tutor. Once matched, you'll work directly with your tutor to schedule sessions and focus on the areas where you need the most support.
