Award-Winning Tutors from University of Notre Dame

I am a 2024 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where I studied Biochemistry with a Concentration in Neuroscience. I will be attending medical school at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine beginning Summer 2024. I am happy to help with STEM-related questions/topics and reading, as well as standardized test prep (SAT/ACT/MCAT). Outside of academics, I love to participate in and watch organized sports, read, and enjoy the outdoors. I believe that the best way to learn is by engaging the material from a perspective that is interesting to the learner and tailoring the lesson plans in that manner.

I am an ambitious and eager student entering the University of Notre Dame as a freshman this fall. I have been in marching band throughout high school and concert bands for eight years, and have a particularly strong interest in social studies. Throughout high school, I took a rigorous course load so that I could take classes in a broad range of subjects each year, comprised predominantly of honors and AP level classes. I was a part of the inaugural STEM program at my high school, and am looking to continue with engineering and history in college. I love school and am considering a career in teaching because I enjoy helping others learn and finding new ways to explain concepts.

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Science-Computing--the University's equivalent of the pre-med major, but with additional credits reserved for a few Computer Science electives. While there, tutoring was one of the main activities I was involved in, and I found it deeply fulfilling when I'd see a certain idea suddenly click for my tutees.My tutoring expertise is definitely in STEM, especially Math and Chemistry. I'm constantly amazed by how connected even the most disparate of STEM concepts can be, like the gears of a well-oiled machine: when learning new material, I always find myself revisiting old ideas in some new light and find unexpected relationships between the two.I'm a strong visual learner, and this is reflected in my style of tutoring. I think that being able to picture something clearly instantly makes it significantly less abstract, and is particularly helpful when trying to dissect the inner workings of some multi-step process. That said, this isn't the only way I approach things, and there's enough flexibility with the sciences that I'd feel comfortable approaching things from some other angle, if it'd be more fruitful.Beyond academics, I love playing the piano, learning computer programming, and video games, especially the main Mario titles (SMB3, 3D Land, Galaxy, Odyssey, etc.): of the ones I've played, I'm proud to say that I've completed all of them 100%.

I have been teaching 2nd Grade for over three years and substitute taught K - 8 this past fall. I have taught in Indiana, Mississippi, and California. I have a passion for education and setting my students up for success. Education is very important to me. I love finding new ways to teach subjects that keep my students engaged and interested.

Im a professional Writer and Communicator with experience developing content, campaigns and stories for MTV, Disney Channel, Discovery Channel and PBS. Currently, I'm a Copywriter and Creative Consultant.Before getting into media, I taught 7th-12th Grade English and Creative Writing for five years in private schools, including Canisius High in Buffalo, one of New Yorks top Jesuit prep schools. I got my B.A. in English from the University of Notre Dame and a Marketing MBA from Columbia.I have a solid academic background and a passionate interest in American/English Literature. Im strong on standardized test preparation. I am able to coach students through the material, while providing solid test-taking strategy. Im a great resource for college admission essays from the Common App, to long and short supplemental essays, to brag sheets and student resumes.As a Teacher and Editor, I help students to analyze content, organize their insights, and express their ideas with language that is original, personal, and correct. As a creative guide, I use humor, pop-culture references, and real-world experience to help young writers draw out their experiences and perceptions, and shape them into personal essays that say something meaningful.In my free time, I enjoy music, playing guitar, film and theater, hiking, tennis, and other sports.

I have over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience, including one year teaching ESL at a Kindergarten in Chiang Mai, Thailand, three years teaching ESL at a cram school for students in elementary, middle, and high school in Taipei, Taiwan, and two years teaching creative writing to undergraduates at the University of Notre Dame. As someone who has studied Mandarin Chinese for three years, I understand the difficulty of acquiring a new language and the importance of immersion in the language as opposed to rote memorization of vocabulary words. I also believe that presenting arguments in a clear, well-structured, organized manner will improve any essay, regardless of the subject.

Hello everyone! My name is Emily and I'm tutor for the north Houston, Woodlands and Conroe area. I have a Master's degree from the University of Notre Dame where I also completed enough training sessions and coursework to get a certificate in education methods. I have quite a bit of experience tutoring Spanish, French, and Latin, but am happy to help in areas of history, English reading/writing, and some math as well. I have also been a math tutor in the north Houston area for high school students who need help understanding concepts.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Anthropology and Economics. During my time there, I also wrote for the HuffPost and conducted research in Biology. I then went on to get a Masters Degree in Secondary Education from Arizona State University, and I am a certified teacher with two years of classroom experience. I have been tutoring since I was a freshman in high school and I've scored highly on the ACT and GRE.

I have my law degree from Notre Dame University and my undergraduate degrees in Political Science and Communications Studies from Loyola University Chicago. I am passionate about the importance of education and hope to be able to help my students attain their goes. I am particularly passionate about and experienced with helping in all levels of reading, writing, editing, English, public speaking, and political science. Additionally, as a law school graduate and someone that was successful on the LSAT, I am experienced with helping students effectively prepare for the LSAT.

I am a graduate from the University of Notre Dame with degrees in history and philosophy. I am an avid reader and student of the Liberal Arts, though I have a strong background in Math and Science as well. I have achieved good marks on both the SAT and GRE.

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.

I'm a rising sophomore at the University of Notre Dame currently studying Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics with a concentration in Biology. I personally enjoy teaching mathematics (algebra, calculus, geometry, SAT/ACT mathematics), chemistry, biology, and editing essays. Previously, I taught American history, European history, and mathematics for 2 years as a tutor at Turning Point Tutoring Company; I worked as a teacher's assistant at a Korean SAT Academy for around 2 months over the summer as well. As a teacher, I try to provide my students with numerous different methods for approaching a problem before giving them practice problems to work on. Most importantly, I strive to first understand my students' learning styles. After doing so, I shape my method of teaching to match their form of learning so that the students could better understand the topic at hand quickly.

I graduated from Guyer High School in 2020 as valedictorian and I currently attend the University of Notre Dame on a full academic scholarship. I'm a science business major on a pre-med track as of right now but I am also interested in pre-law. I love math and science and have a specific passion for chemistry. Outside of school I love working with animals and tutoring people. I also enjoy hiking and just about anything to do with the outdoors.

Before starting medical school in the Fall of 2021, I am taking time to explore my lifelong interest in teaching. I began tutoring at the University of Notre Dame, where I worked for three years as a teaching assistant in a Cell Biology laboratory course. There, I enjoyed helping my peers understand the larger picture developing through our weekly experiments. At Loyola University Chicago, I continued to tutor a variety of subjects while earning a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences.As a double major in biology and English, I like to build stories whenever I can. What does a molecule of glucose encounter while going through glycolysis? How does the human body process information from the world around it? This perspective has led not only to success in my own studies, but also to a genuine love of learning.Through one-on-one tutoring, I hope help students seek their own stories and develop a positive lifelong relationship with learning.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2010 with a B.S. degree in Chemistry. I then went to the University of Delaware and obtained my M.S. degree in Inorganic Chemistry in 2012. While in graduate school I was a teaching assistant for two years for introduction to chemistry laboratories and really enjoyed teaching. I am looking to use my passion for Chemistry and teaching to help students excel. I recently took the MCAT exam and I am currently applying to medical school. I look forward to helping you or your child succeed in Math and Science.

I am a graduate of Bachelor in Elementary Education with a major in Special Education. Currently, I am pursuing my graduate degree in Special Education.

I am fun, creative, and passionate.

Hello! My name is Natalia Gonzalez Giraldo, and I am a student at the University of Notre Dame studying Architecture. I am passionate about education, mentorship, and helping students gain confidence in their academic abilities. Through my academic experiences and leadership roles, I have developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills that allow me to connect with students and support their learning in a meaningful way. I tutor elementary through high school students in subjects including math, reading, English, study skills, and Spanish. My goal is to help students not only improve their grades and understanding of the material, but also develop confidence, independence, and effective study habits that will benefit them long-term. I believe every student learns differently, which is why I tailor my teaching approach to each individual's needs, learning style, and goals. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing as learners. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I am also able to support bilingual students and families. Mi objetivo es ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollar confianza en s mismos mientras alcanzan sus metas acadmicas y descubren el valor del aprendizaje.

I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in middle and high school, I developed a reputation of being a good source of help within my classes in a non-tutor capacity, and grew that into a peer tutor role a couple times a week during lunch my senior year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules, and other intuitive shortcuts.

Hello!I am an experienced tutor and classroom teacher with a passion for helping students learn - especially when it doesn't come easy. I love teaching math, especially since I know that it can be hard. While I specialize in working with middle and high school students, I have worked with students as young as kindergarten and those well into adulthood.For those of you based in the Chicagoland area, I am an experienced Test Prep tutor who has successfully helped several students gain admittance to selective enrollment high schools and highly competitive universities such as the University of Michigan, Georgetown University, Northwestern and the University of Chicago. (I'm also an alum of the University of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan, so I'll be sure you not only do well on the test, but that you'll be ready for the work once you're a freshman.)I hope that we can work together soon!

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame, I thrive on empowering students in both math and chemistry. My tutoring experience includes working with high school students in subjects like pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment where students can conquer their apprehensions about challenging topics. By incorporating interactive problem-solving and encouraging students to explain concepts back to me, I ensure they grasp the material thoroughly. My background as a teaching assistant in analytical and organic chemistry has further honed my ability to connect with students and make complex subjects accessible.

I am a graduate from the University of Notre Dame, where I studied Philosophy, History, and Education, and this fall I am beginning Graduate School at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for a Master's in Library and Information Science. I have certifications in 5-12th grade English, Level 1 Google Education, and Level 5 Teaching English as a Foreign Language. During my time at Notre Dame and continuing to the present, I have held numerous positions in education, including tutoring, small-group leadership, classroom teacher, and trainer/supervisor. Most of my work has focused on middle school English, Social Studies, and literacy, but I have tutored in all subjects and all grade levels. The philosopher Plato once said that the purpose of education is to 'turn the soul' of the learner towards truth. I have made it my life's work to inspire this perspective shift and passion for learning in others, and I hope to continue to do so with your child.

I believe that every student can succeed, and that the only thing that needs to be changed in order for that to happen is mindset.

I am a person who genuinely enjoys both writing and chemistry (especially organic). To most people, this seems like an odd combination but for me it's natural. I have been able to leverage both of these skills in order to obtain a PhD in organic chemistry. Also, I have written a couple of articles about chemistry on Medium. Understandably, some students struggle in these areas and I would like to help. When I am working with students, I like to be flexible with my teaching approach. During our first session, the student and I will set goals for our time together and we will discuss your learning style. In the subsequent sessions, student and I will work together to develop a learning environment that will help you Education: - Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame (2014) - B.S. in Biochemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana (2008) Experience: 1. 5 years working as a lecture teaching assistant for general chemistry I and organic chemistry I and II at the University of Notre Dame 2. 1 year experience tutoring a high school student in chemistry (1 hour per week) 3. 6 years experience in helping undergraduate students understand organic chemistry and biology

As a current 4th year medical student at the University Massachusetts School of Medicine, I have been challenged with an academically rigorous course-load that has pushed me to mature as a learner across a broad scope of subjects within the medical sciences and beyond. Pursuing a career in medicine while electing to pair my pre-medical classes in undergraduate with a major in Spanish, pushes me to develop multiple strategies that promote my ability to effectively apply and retain information that engages the learner in distinct ways. My passion for these discrete subject areas and my overall natural curiosity led me to seek opportunities where I could further hone my ability to communicate complex information in an understandable and efficient manner, aiding individuals struggling with certain concepts while simultaneously reinforcing my own comprehension of the material.As a tutor at the Excel Center (a tuition-free high school for adults pursuing their GED) in South Bend, Indiana, I have been able to develop and refine my style of teaching while interacting with students on a one on one level in biology, chemistry, and physics classes. Working with these students has given me a unique experience in promoting individual interest and curiosity in academic subjects, generally years after the students most recent exposure to learning in a classroom setting. I firmly believe that the key to thorough and lasting mastery of subject material is presenting the information in a way that appeals to the individual, prompting a desire to understand and improve that complements the desire for academic success and strong test scores. In working with students, I aspire to present topics in a manner catered specifically to the unique needs of the individual and will do all that I can to help attain command of critical concepts encountered.When preparing for exams, it is easy to become discouraged if the results do not match the effort exerted by the student. Often times students preparing for USMLE exams, tests in physics, biology, chemistry, or psychology will spend large amounts of time inundating themselves with terminology and immense volumes of notes, potentially leading to discouragement and disengaging study habits. I believe that successful test scores in scientific subjects require consistent, active engagement with information being studied, centering on practice problems and challenging oneself to truly understand rather than rely on memorization. No matter an individuals natural affinity for the sciences or other subjects, I will strive to develop active strategies that promote efficient preparation and allocation of focus, skills that are indispensable in preparing for AP tests, college exams, and content heavy standardized tests such as the USMLE, MCAT or DAT.Outside of the classroom, I enjoy working out, playing basketball and soccer, and hiking. I am an avid Boston sports fan and particularly love watching the Patriots and the Celtics. I hope to be able to pass on my passion for learning (and perhaps these sports teams) to the students that I work with, and I will always seek to bring positivity and focus to every session until the students individual goal is achieved.

As a lifelong learner and passionate educator, I believe that education is the cornerstone of a thriving society. My journey in academia and professional life has been driven by a deep-seated commitment to fostering intellectual curiosity and empowering students to reach their full potential.

I have a college degree in Physics and a graduate degree in Biology. I love to see students gain an understanding of the material through examples related to the world around us.I have had experience teaching as a substitute from 1st through 12th grade, including many assignments with students with developmental disabilities, where I was able to work with these students more on an individual basis. I have also taught many undergraduate laboratory classes in physics and biology. These courses provide a great opportunity to work one-on-one with students who need some extra help and to make sure that everyone is comfortable with the topic being examined.I believe that students gain a better understanding and appreciation for the material when they are led to the answer through questions and examples rather than just being told how to answer the question or perform the calculation. Although I have mostly taught at the college level, I have experience teaching students at all grade levels and enjoy helping students learn regardless of their current knowledge or ability in a particular subject.I enjoy interacting with students of all ages and helping them understand a subject, especially when they are having difficulties. I think many students who dislike school or a particular subject because they are not good at it or do not get it. The reason they are not good at it is likely because they have not spent the time or had the individual attention they need to be successful. I enjoy being able to spend the time to answer questions and ultimately help the student get to the answer on their own. When they can do this, they gain a much deeper appreciation for the thing they are studying. It is also great to see a student come to an understanding of the topic after they are given some information or strategies they did not have before.
