Award-Winning Tutors from University of Notre Dame

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.

As a practicing patent attorney, I use my attention to detail, work ethic, diligence, flexibility and critical thinking skills to help me succeed in legal writing and in the courtroom. However, I have also used these skills successfully in the classroom, and when I have tutored students individually and in a classroom setting in the past. I will always advocate for the potential inside each client, and will ensure they are able to succeed both in the classroom and life.

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame (ND), where I received my Bachelor of Science in Science Pre-Professional Studies (pre-medicine) and a minor in Anthropology. During my time at ND, I tutored Freshman ND students in organic and inorganic chemistry for two and a half years. Some of my other extracurricular activities included founding the World Health Assimilation Through Notre Dame (WHAT ND) club, participating in rare and neglected diseases research, and volunteering in my local communities. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about science (chemistry and biology), math (K-college), and Chinese. I believe that a solid education is an important foundation for an individual's future and the future of humanity. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, cooking, playing a wide variety of sports (i.e. Zumba, tennis, swimming), and reading.

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.

I am a Middle School Language Arts and Social Studies teacher. I specialize as a writing tutor for middle and high school students, with experience tutoring all subjects for elementary and middle school students. I graduated from Providence College in Providence Rhode Island, where I earned my B.A. in History and Education while playing four years of college rugby.After graduating from Providence, I took my first teaching job in Austin Texas.I have spent the past two years completing my M.Ed in Secondary Education from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.I first began tutoring elementary students when I was in High School, and quickly learned that I loved both teaching and working with children. Over the course of my time in High School I tutored and coached various subjects and sports. In college, I tutored extensively, focusing on individualized writing instruction, college essays, and middle school reading and math skills.In addition to my work as a teacher and a coach, I love to play sports, enjoy a new book, and cook!

I am currently working as a Structural Engineer in New York City. I have a very strong background in Math and Physics and obtained a perfect math score in my college and graduate school entrance exams. The best part of teaching for me is watching a student slowly grasp and understand a subject that once was very foreign to them.

I'm passionate about helping students become more confident in their academic skills! I believe that all students are capable of excelling; it's just a matter of whether or not they have adequate help.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science. After graduation I then completed a Pre-Health Specialized Studies Post Bacc Program at the University of Pennsylvania with plans to ultimately attend medical school. During my time at Notre Dame I spent 2 years tutoring students through College Mentors for Kids. Although I am confident working with all subjects, I am particularly comfortable tutoring in math, reading, physics, and standardized test prep.

I am a sophomore Neuroscience and Behavior major at the University of Notre Dame working towards the goal of medical school, and I have a great passion for learning and helping others learn. As someone who received a lot of different types of tutoring for the ACT/SAT/PSAT, I know a lot of strategies to help get anyone to the score that they want! I also have a passion for biology, math, and all types of sciences. I love working with anyone who wants to learn and improve.Apart from academics, I am an active swimmer and I love to play piano. During my summers, I play tennis and enjoy going canoeing. I truly believe having fun is one of the best ways to stay healthy and be at your best in your work, so I will make sure to keep the teaching atmosphere light but focused. I am also very passionate about my work and I love helping others become their best!

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.

I have been a teacher all my life, it seems. When I was in college, I tutored disadvantaged students in the community. As an Army officer, I was responsible for showing soldiers how to most efficiently perform their duties in the service of their country. As a businessman, I trained my employees how to best serve our customers. As a teacher for the past twenty years, I have taught math, drama, and English in grades 7-12.I have taught in very rich and successful schools; I have taught at schools in poverty where every student received free meals.The thing is, I love to learn. The more I learn, the more I can teach. If your child is having a bear of a time at school, I can help. You see, for the same reason I love to learn, I also love to teach.

I am a graduate of Boston College where I studied Education and Psychology. I received my Master's in Education at the University of Notre Dame. Since graduation, I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades in both general education and special education settings. I am trained in elementary (K-4) math concepts and reading/phonics instruction (for example the Fundations program). I am passionate about education and love working with students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, singing, playing guitar, and being outside.

I am a graduate of The University of Notre Dame. I received a Master of Theological Studies degree with a focus on Systematic and Historical Theology. I also have Bachelor of Arts degrees in History and Political Science from North Carolina State University. While I can tutor a range of subjects, I am most interested in helping students with graduate level test prep. I have recently studied for and taken the GRE, so I am well-positioned and passionate about helping students succeed with testing and graduate school admissions. Writing is another area of interest for me. I especially enjoy helping students develop their writing skills. I love learning and I want to help students learn to love it too. Learning is valuable for its own sake apart from any practical considerations. However, I do recognize that sometimes students need concrete, immediate, quantifiable results, and so I always keep a student's stated goal at the forefront. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, as well as watching and playing sports.

I am a Notre Dame alumna and an Arizona State alumna, where I received my Masters in Social Work. I am from Milwaukee, WI, and moved out to Phoenix 9 years ago.I really love helping people, which is what led me to pursue social work. I enjoy tutoring because it gives me the chance to spend quality time with a person, learning his or her learning style, so that I can adapt my teaching style to best help the individual. I have always really enjoyed and excelled at math, but find that I can tutor a broad range of subjects, from English to history to accounting. Test prep is a strong area for me, as I like to focus on the patterns and trends that come up in standardized tests. If you are looking for a tutor that will go at your desired pace and will work at your level, I am a good fit for you. I have tutored students from the elementary school age up to the graduate school level.In my free time, I love watching sports, especially football. I am a diehard Notre Dame fan and get back to campus as much as possible. I also love to hike andenjoy the great outdoor opportunities that Arizona gives us. I also enjoy traveling, and my dream is to go to Africa one day, where I would love to spend time teaching.I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you reach your full potential!

I am a scientist turned non-traditional pre-med. I earned my Master's Degree in Biology from the University of Notre Dame in 2022, where I studied phenotypes of malaria genetic cross progeny. While working full-time in a public health laboratory, I conquered my MCAT exam and have gained 5 medical school acceptances in the current application cycle. Having received support from fellow tutors during my own journey, I find it deeply satisfying to help other pre-med students on the journey to their medical school acceptance.As part of my degree programs, I have taught several different science classes at the university level and worked as a tutor part-time. I also have experience in graduate program recruitment and interview coaching, so I am here to help you through your medical school journey at every step of the way. I look forward to working with you!

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 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.

My name is Stephen LaBrecque and I'm currently a second year law student at Boston College. My teaching experience started in eighth grade when I taught CCD to a group of first graders. Since that time, I've had a range of experiences in education. While at the University of Notre Dame, I tutored twice a week at the Robinson Community Learning Center. I also participated in a service trip to an alternative high school in Appalachia. Upon graduating from Notre Dame, I joined the Alliance for Catholic Education, a Service Teaching Program that placed me at an under-resourced 6-12 school in Dallas, Texas.While in Dallas, I taught everything from sixth grade religion to Public Speaking. I also taught seventh grade literature, eighth grade English, and a Freshmen Seminar course aimed at helping students adjust to the demands of high school. During my two years teaching, I built a reputation as a teacher who was always willing to help. I had students come to my tutoring hours for help in all of their subjects, from geometry to biology and Spanish.While I ultimately decided to pursue a law degree, I really miss teaching and sharing in the successes of my students. I hope tutoring will give me the chance to help others succeed and really make a difference in people's lives.

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.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences with a minor in Anthropology from the University of Notre Dame. After graduation, I entered a M.S. graduate program in Biology at Arizona State University. When I'm not teaching biology to undergraduate majors at ASU, I research topics in aquatic ecology. Understanding the connectedness and patterns of environmental processes in aquatic ecosystems drives my passion to become an ecologist!My goal is to help students view learning as a positive experience! When students learn with me, they usually find that it is a very relaxed, hands-on, and visual process. 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!

I love helping students unlock their potential and develop confidence in their learning. My teaching philosophy is rooted in fostering critical, data-driven thinkinghelping students approach problems like scientists: observing, analyzing evidence, and drawing thoughtful conclusions. I create a supportive, engaging environment where questions are encouraged, and learning is active. My goal is to help you become a curious, science-driven human who makes decisions based on evidence and reasoning!

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 love using visuals and analogies to help students understand challenging concepts, particularly about science ideas that we can't see. I am fluent in English and Spanish!

I started as a tutor in 1994 in Virginia. I enjoyed the work so much I moved to Thailand and taught English in Songkhla, a small town near the Malaysian border. That experience led me to many more international jobs. I've lived and worked overseas for over 10 years in Thailand, Hong Kong and London.At each stop along the way I've been privileged to be known as a reliable resource for those needing assistance with their English. Native speakers and ESL students alike.My approach is simple: I move at your pace until I'm confient you understand the material. Then a gentle push to the next level is applied. Using previous sessions as a foundation I focus on the fundamentals. I eschew tricks and gimmicks for getting to the right answer. You will know the answer, not arrive there via educated guessing.I am a seasoned financial services professional, and bring that professionalism and attention to detail to all my endeavors. We will apply ourselves and take full advantage or our time together. I am also a volunteer firefighter, and that spirit of service and helping others animates my tutoring style, too.I'm looking forward helping you improve your school work and increase your standardized test scores. I hope I can work with you to achieve your goals.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavior and a minor in Russian. After working as a summer camp counselor for the Boys and Girls Club of Wakefield and Stoneham for three summers during high school and his first year of college, I further explored my passion for working with students by working in the CLAD (Cognition, Learning, and Development) Research Lab at Notre Dame, while also serving as a tutor and mentor as a part of the Tutor ND Program. I had the chance to work with students of a variety of ages and backgrounds while at Notre Dame, and my favorite part about working with students has been the immensely rewarding opportunity to not only get to know the people I've worked with, but also to watch them grow and develop over time. From writing and history to biology and math, I've had experience creating individualized lesson plans that are uniquely tailored to each student's needs and desires, no matter the grade level. I will be continuing my education at the University of Massachusetts Medical School this coming Fall, but in the meantime, he hopes to expand on his enthusiasm for teaching and education by working with bright young minds in a variety of subject disciplines to help students achieve whatever academic and personal goals they strive for.

I currently attend the University of Notre Dame, majoring in finance and political science. During high school, I was a tutor for three years, mainly teaching various english and literature classes. I currently tutor for the ACT, with a specialty in English and Reading. I like these subjects because they are so commonly used in every day life, and I feel that I have very effective strategies that will help a student succeed in these subject areas. I took the ACT three times, so I feel very familiar with the test taking experience and strategies for success. My teaching style is very open and transparent; I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

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. Whether your student needs help mastering a challenging subject, preparing for exams, improving study skills, or building academic confidence, I am committed to helping them succeed. I look forward to working with students from diverse backgrounds and supporting them on their educational journey.

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 every student deserves the opportunity to excel through dedicated one-on-one tutoring so they can tackle new concepts with confidence and independence. With my background in mechanical engineering, I am excited to help students understand mathematical and scientific concepts, and my lifelong love of reading has prepared me to help students with reading comprehension and writing. My tutoring experience: SAT tutor during high school - Personal middle school tutor during college - Currently an EL (English-learning) Para-educator at my local middle school for all middle school subjects. I know basic Spanish, and I use this to help bridge conceptual gaps in any subject while also helping to teach the English language. Tengo conocimientos de espanol de basico, y lo utilizo para superar las lagunas conceptuales en cualquier materia, mientras tambien enseno el idioma ingles.

I am currently a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame. I am majoring in Applied Mathematics and Statistics.

Hi! I am Josie, and I am a first year medical student at Indiana University School of Medicine. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in May 2025 where I studied neuroscience and Spanish. I am passionate about tutoring because I love to work with students to help them achieve their goals and prosper. I am lucky that academics have come pretty naturally to me, so I want to share some of the tips and tricks that have helped me with other students. I have five years of experience tutoring middle school students, and I have also taught 1st graders in the past. I usually tutor math ranging from elementary school up to Algebra 2, but have also tutored biology, Spanish, and helped with essay-writing. In my tutoring sessions, I emphasize practice and autonomy to help the students learn material without me doing the work for them. I like to help them understand why a certain process or mechanism works. I can't wait to get to know my students! :)

I'm Alexandra but you can call me Ally; I am a freshmen engineering major at the University of Notre Dame so I'm a huge math and science nerd.I'm excited to work with new clients and establish relations with existing ones to help everyone reach their full academic potential!

I have a passion for financial and capital markets and love to teach and educate others. I have worked my entire professional career in financial services utilizing series exam information on a daily basis. I have a Masters of Finance from the University of Notre Dame and work as a investment analyst at a private investment firm. Open to giving career mentorship as well!

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame summa cum laude, receiving my BA in Spanish and Premedical Studies.I have tutored many different subjects at nearly all levelsfrom high school to graduate schoolbut I love to teach college-level science the most. AP Biology is a favorite of mine, as it draws on a lot of my own interests as a student soon to matriculate into medical school.My teaching style is student-focused: I learn concepts in different ways so I can explain those concepts my students in a way that makes sense to them.

I am an Ivy-league graduate (Princeton summa cum laude) and an editor for an academic publishing press. I have years of experience teaching and mentoring at the university level (University of Notre Dame), and I've also tutored students in chemistry, math, the arts, and humanities from elementary school through high school. I've worked and lived in over seven different countries with international colleagues and I'm very understanding of different cultural backgrounds. I fell in love with teaching years ago while serving as a librarian for children and teens, and I enjoy working with students to reach their full potential.

I am an undergraduate biochemistry major at the University of Notre Dame. Previously, I was employed at Mathnasium of Granger for two years, where I was a math instructor for all ages and math-related subjects.

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.

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.

I am a senior majoring in General Science and Business at the University of Notre Dame. I am also a History minor because I love US History. I have experience tutoring in math, chemistry (orgo and general), biology, and history. In addition, I worked with Matriculate tutoring in SAT Prep and College Admissions. From choosing schools to apply to through financial aid, Matriculate trained me to become an expert in this field and help students reach their full potential. After being homeless in high school, it took a lot of hard work and help to get where I am today, so I tutor to help kids navigate through these trying times not only in school but in life.

I started tutoring while in college and I started teaching high school math after graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a math degree. I then earned my masters in Secondary Math Education at Northwestern University. I have taught all high school subjects (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, and Finite Math) and prepared students for the ACT, SAT, SAT subject tests, AP exams, and college placement exams.When tutoring, I will start by showing students good examples and all the steps, but by the end of the session, the student is showing me all the steps without any assistance. We both need to be confident that the student can talk through the problem and solve it with no notes and without prompting.
