Award-Winning Tutors from University of Notre Dame

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.

Hi there! I'm an aspiring Physician Assistant Student. I earned my Master of Biomedical Science from Midwestern University and I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame - Go Irish! I am excited to work with you in a variety of topics from science to Spanish and GRE writing.

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 graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in Psychology and Spanish. Since earning my degree, I completed a two-year commitment as a corps member with Teach for America (TFA). TFA is an organization that works to analyze gaps in the education system and fills roles based on the belief that all children have the right to an equitable, excellent education. Throughout my commitment in the corps, I taught Spanish I, Spanish II, and Spanish III. I also served as the ESL leader in my school and have experience tutoring all subjects for high school-age students whose first language is not English. I also use my background in psychology to work with all of my students on study-skills that are beneficial for encoding (storing new information in the long-term memory).In my free time, I love to play soccer, run, try new foods, hike, and hang out with friends!

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 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.

In the fall of 2007, I fulfilled a dream by attending the University of Notre Dame. There I majored in Classics and Pre-Professional Studies. Following my college career, I obtained a Masters degree in Biomedical Sciences from Midwestern University in Downers Grove.I have always been fascinated with biology and chemistry and how microscopic interactions lead to the world we see around us. I love learning about all areas of science and this passion drives my excitement for tutoring. As someone who was able to go to his dream school, I am committed to helping everyone I tutor to have the same opportunity.

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 am a current biological sciences major and bioengineering minor at the University of Notre Dame. As a biology major/bioengineering minor, math and science are my passions, and I love to share the joy I derive from those subjects with students. I have been a math tutor to elementary, middle, and high school students. While my favorite subject to tutor is any type of math, I also tutor biology. As a tutor, I believe that learning should be fun, and work to make it that way. Since I am still currently in school, I am constantly being exposed to new methods of teaching and am able to utilize those methods when tutoring. When I am not in the middle of a good book, I enjoy cooking and gardening.

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.

Hi there! I recently graduated from the University of Notre Dame with my Masters of Engineering in civil and environmental engineering. Before that, I got a B.S. in environmental science and a minor in music. I have tutored peers in the past in math and science, and have taught music lessons to kids of all ages. I understand how challenging STEM courses can be and will always try to tutor in a way that suits your learning style best!

I am a junior at the University of Notre Dame majoring in American Studies and minoring in Digital Marketing. I am very passionate about helping students, and I have been tutoring since my freshman year of high school. I use a high energy, personalized approach to tutoring in order to help students gain confidence in their abilities!

I am passionate about working with all ages of students in a variety of subjects. I especially love the STEM subjects but am super excited to work with anyone! I have 5+ years of tutoring experience in a variety of areas, including full classroom, one-on-one, and special education.

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.

I'm passionate about improving students math skills. With my experience in all levels of math, I am grateful to improve students confidence with various math subjects.

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.

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 like to help others learn and achieve academic success, and I have a variety of experiences to show it. I've tutored high-school students in East Harlem; created curriculum and taught classes for adult English language learners; engaged pre-K children in science experiments; and assisted my peers with coursework as an undergraduate at Notre Dame. I believe learning looks different for everyone, and a little patience and creativity can go a long way in tutoring. My day job in refugee resettlement utilizes my communication skills and my ability to solve real-life logic problems, like those on the LSAT and college admissions tests. I specialize in writing as a professional skill and personal hobby; I like to read, eat, paint, and travel for fun.

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 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 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!

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 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 three-time graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History, and received Master's Degrees in both Education and Educational Administration. I spent 17 years in secondary education, beginning my career as a social studies teacher and then transitioning to several administrative roles including dean of students, activities director, and principal. I currently tutor in English, Writing, and Essay Editing. I have spent time tutoring Vietnamese students applying to colleges and universities in the United States, assisting them with their application essays from concept to completion. I love to teach, whether that is how to swim, how to water ski, or how to write an excellent essay. In any teaching situation, what I enjoy most is watching the fear leave students' eyes as they realize that they can do something they didn't believe they could do. That's why tutoring in college application essays is my favorite. Essays can be intimidating, especially when admission to college is riding on them, but the barriers that cause fear can be easily broken down and every student can be empowered to write excellent essays. I've worked with students applying to nearly all of the top 25 universities in the United States. I take a very personal approach to tutoring, meeting students where they are and walking alongside them to get them where they want to be. When I'm not working, I enjoy doing anything with my dog and anything outside, especially if it involves being under, in, or on water.

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

I am a 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 currently a senior attending the University of Notre Dame, and I am pursuing a degree in the Program of Liberal Studies (PLS). PLS is a renowned Great Books program that aims to perfect the student's ability to think critically in a variety of disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, and history. In PLS, great emphasis is placed on formulating deep and effective arguments and presenting them clearly in a technically correct manner, both in class and through my written work.

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

Hello! My name is John Roche an I am an accounting tutor. I am 23 years old and grew up in Portsmouth, RI. I did my undergrad in accounting at Merrimack College in North Andover, MA and I received my MSA from Notre Dame in South Bend, IN. While at Notre Dame I was a tutor for student athletes. I currently work full time as a public accountant in Big 4 as an international tax associate. My tutoring style is to be very thorough and ensure that you will be prepared for each topic and all the possible questions and variations that could come out of each topic. I am also a big believer understanding the theory behind each topic and concept. I do this by using real world examples. Which also keeps things very entertaining and engaging.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Notre Dame, and I am working towards a degree in Economics. I have always found math and science to be interesting and was successful in them during high school. These can be some of the most challenging subjects a student can encounter, and I want to make sure any misunderstanding does not lead to disinterest in them. I have found that the calm, cool, methodical, and logical approach is the key to comprehending the material. The benefits of having a solid foundation in these fields are not limited just to skills in math and science, they translate into powerful critical thinking and analytical skills that are extremely useful overall. During my spare time I enjoy running, exercising, and listening to a variety of podcasts.

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.
