Award-Winning Tutors from University of Notre Dame

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!

My name is Kelsey and I am an energetic, positive, 26-year-old teacher who graduated with my MFA from the University of Notre Dame in 2017. I am currently teaching Second Grade, but have extensive and varied teaching experience, having taught students of all ages, even university level! I also have experience working with students with behavior and learning differences. It is my goal to make all of my students feel encouraged, heard, motivated, and successful.

"A Storyteller with unconditional love for mankind"I think that's the best way of describing my Career and Artistic persona.I am content producer and manager with 6 years of advertising/Social Media experience and fluent in 3 languages (English - French - Arabic and a little Spanish) with a very multi-cultural approach to the world.Born and raised in Lebanon, I have had the privilege of living in a country that has been influence by many cultures around the world which has lead me to pursue my Masters Degree in NYC in 2016. Ever since, I have found my calling a life. becoming a digital media artist and storyteller and promoting influential narratives of New Yorkers who come from different backgrounds. I have recently produced an award-winning short film all by myself and gained Academic experience by working as a Teaching Assistant at The New School and hosting a workshop at NYU.I enjoy dancing, playing piano, composing music, working out and interacting with people from different cultures. I believe in the idea of "Mashup Culture" where different people from diverse backgrounds come together to promote positivity through art and social justice.I believe that every person has a different type of intelligence from the other and I'm here to help develop that intelligence and hopefully let it flourish for the greater good.

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.

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.

Throughout my undergraduate education in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, I have developed a mastery of various subjects, but also a desire to share this knowledge with others. Because of this, I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2009 and my master's degree from the University of Connecticut in 2013. I have spent the past six years in education: teaching English in Japan for two years, coordinating a mentor program for first year college students, working as an academic advisor, and teaching first year experience courses to new college students, focusing on topics like time management and study skills. I understand firsthand the importance of standardized tests as students make goals for their next level of education; I am happy to help students prepare for these exams. I enjoy students of all ages and am excited to tutor a wide range of subjects, although my first loves are math and English (especially grammar). I truly believe my sincere energy and enthusiasm can help make students excited about learning. I welcome questions and value honesty while tutoring. My personal interests include international education, traveling, hiking, camping, and Notre Dame football.

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.

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 am currently a student at the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!). I am pursuing a double major in Finance and Applied Mathematics in hopes of becoming an Actuary (a financial risk analyst) upon graduation. Throughout high school, I have pursued a wide variety of opportunities, ranging from being one out of only five cellists selected to study music at the Georgia Governor's Honors Program to obtaining a research internship at the University of Georgia during which I attempted to detoxify contaminated waters in third-world countries. Outside of academics, I love sports, animals, and learning about different cultures and backgrounds (I myself come from a diverse background, having lived in Korea, California, Alabama, Georgia, and Indiana). I appreciate a variety of music, and I strongly believe that rap is the modern-day poetry. While I tutor in a variety of subjects, I specialize in math (Algebra, Geometry, Pre-calculus, ACT/SAT/SAT Subject Math, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations - you get the point). In my experience in helping students prep for college and standardized test level math, we have the most amount of fun (and make the most amount of progress) in coming up with real life examples of each concept we cover so that we can both see the motivation and purpose behind learning each subject. I strongly believe that education is an essential foundation to a prosperous life, not only due to the academic knowledge one gains but also because of the principles of determination, perseverance, and discipline that it cultivates, and I try to instill this appreciation to all my students.

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 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 graduated magna cum laude from the University of Notre Dame in 2021. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Accountancy with a minor in Constitutional Studies. At Notre Dame, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for Measurement and Disclosure I, Ethics in Accounting, and Ethics in Sports. This fall, I will continue my education at the University of Chicago Law School.I have formal experience tutoring high-school students preparing for the SAT, ACT, and PSAT. I personally improved my SAT score by several hundred points, so I understand the hard work and diligence required for large score improvements. Although I am available to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am passionate about test preparation, Accountancy, and Algebra.I am very enthusiastic and have experience tutoring students who need an extra boost of encouragement or motivation. We will work hard and have fun in the process!

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!

I am a bilingual first-year med student at the Indiana University School of Medicine and a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Pre-Health and am a certified Spanish-English medical interpreter. I am most passionate about helping individuals improve their Spanish, science and math skills! I have experience tutoring high school and middle school students in Spanish and math, but I am interested in tutoring individuals of all ages.

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.

Hello! My name is Abby Stokes and I am a graduate from the University of Notre Dame with a double major in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics and Anthropology. I am passionate about learning and teaching, and I am looking forward to experiencing both together!

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

I've been a test prep and individual tutor for over 15 years. My training is as a school psychologist; I consider it a strength of mine to be able to work with and to identify individual learning styles and to adjust accordingly. I particularly love teaching ACT/SAT math. I aim to connect students to other own learning styles so they can make them work for them.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics in Medicine from the University of Notre Dame and my Masters in Biomedical Sciences from UMDNJ-Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. I am currently working towards a doctorate in medicine from New Jersey Medical School. Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, I have tutored students ranging in age from elementary school to college freshmen in a variety of subjects particularly math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is math because it is very methodical and visual. Having a passion to help others, I am drawn to tutoring for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. My family and friends have described me as being patient, compassionate, and personableall of the qualities that I believe I bring to my students. Outside of tutoring, I like Notre Dame football, dogs (especially my family's German Shepherd!), yoga, cooking, and reading.

Hello, my name is Michelle! I am a former elementary and middle-school teacher and am now looking to use my teaching knowledge and experience to tutor. I received my bachelor's degree in Science-Business from the University of Notre Dame and my master's degree in Secondary Education from Providence College. I taught 5-8th grade math for two years and 5th grade math, English/Language Arts, Reading, and Religion for 1 year.

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!

Growing up I had a lot of tutors to help me with school and I always understood how important this profession is. I was lucky to have been given very good tutors and now is the time to be an even better tutor and help others.I've worked with a few people over the last 3 years. I helped a lot of kids in my school with maths and physics. In College I helped my peers with the Chemical Principles course, as I have covered all the material behind it. My greatest success was a student in Russia whose SAT I made go up from around 600/800 to 1300.I got my education in London and am an alumni of Westminster school. I have achieved 11 GCSEs and 5 A Levels, 4 of the A Levels were part of the Pre-University Cambrdge course.i'm currently in the University of Notre Dame and am going to declare my major as Science and Business.I tutor mathematics from intro level to Calculus 2, chemistry (both organic and physical), physics (classical physics as well as some modern physics, like Relativity), English Literature and comprehension, SAT prep, ACT prep.My favourite subjects to tutor are physics and chemistry because of my extensive lab experience over the last few years. I love experiments and creating my own projects and I hope I can pass this passion onto others.My tutoring style involes a lot of interaction with the student on zoom. I'm able to draw on the computer screen and I can convey information very easily. I also build custom timeline which targets a student's weak points, so that they will be able to learn quicker.

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 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'm currently a sophomore at Notre Dame. I'm a math major but am also fulfilling pre-med requirements, so I'm a good bet with things like math, chemistry, and physics. As my friends can attest, I'm also a great proofreader if you have any papers. If you happen to be learning Italian, I have intermediate proficiency in that as well.

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/

Hi! I'm Shane Stanton, a middle school English Language Arts teacher based in Austin, Texas. Originally from Morristown, New Jersey, I have two years of classroom teaching experience helping students grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers. I recently earned my Master of Education from University of Notre Dame, where I also completed my undergraduate studies in English and Economics. I specialize in supporting students in middle school and high school ELA, including reading comprehension, literary analysis, grammar, essay writing, and academic writing skills. I also enjoy helping students craft strong college application essays that reflect their voice and experiences. My teaching style focuses on building confidence, creating clear strategies for success, and making learning engaging and approachable. I strive to meet students where they are, challenge them to grow, and help them feel more confident in their abilities both inside and outside the classroom.

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 Bachelor in Elementary Education with a major in Special Education. Currently, I am pursuing my graduate degree in Special Education. I am a licensed teacher, and I have 9 years of teaching experience, both in-person and virtually. I am most interested in helping students with learning difficulties achieve their highest potential. I am fun, creative, and passionate.

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Education from the University of Notre Dame, I bring over 2 years of tutoring experience in subjects including AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature, and Creative Writing. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive and engaging environment where students can thrive and express themselves. I strive to tailor my approach to meet each student's individual needs, fostering confidence in their writing and critical thinking skills. Currently teaching in Texas, I am dedicated to guiding students on their academic journeys, helping them achieve their goals while igniting a lifelong love for learning. In my spare time, I delve into reading and creative writing, which continually informs and enriches my teaching practice.

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.

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 am a senior Neuroscience and Behavior major at the University of Notre Dame. As a premed student, I have completed all of the basic science requirements, and I took the MCAT this past summer. Throughout my undergraduate years, I have tutored elementary school students in South Bend, IN and in Dublin, Ireland. I believe that every person has the ability to succeed in any course, and I think the key to success is understanding how you best learn as an individual. I am excited to help more students find success in subjects they are struggling with.

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.
