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.

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 rising sophomore at the University of Notre Dame majoring in Political Science and minoring in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Since graduating high school with high honors, I have been involved with volunteering, student government, and I am a proud member of Notre Dame's mock trial team! I'm most passionate about teaching math to students of all ages, especially middle school. I know how stressful and intimidating math can be, and I want every student to feel confident to succeed in math, whether it be for elementary school, middle school, high school, or on a college admissions exam. I believe that students are most successful when they are given the tools, strategies, and confidence to perform at the best potential. I am passionate about learning and helping others succeed and hope to share this passion and excitement for learning with all my students!

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

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

I am 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.

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

I 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.

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.

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 recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, IN, where I earned my doctoral degree in contemporary American poetry. Before that I earned my masters in English at Wake Forest University, NC. I am passionate about poetry, writing, and the English language, and dedicated to helping others understand and achieve competence in the writing process. I have taught college-level composition courses, as well as a poetry course, and have tutored at Wake Forest University's writing center for two years, and therefore have experience in coaching students at different skill levels through many stages of the writing process, including formulating arguments, brainstorming ideas, handling grammatical issues, finding sources for research, and revising essays. I continue to enjoy meeting students where they are and walking with them through the learning process. We are all students of language; I find a deep satisfaction in enabling others to become great students.

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 started tutoring students in math during the pandemic. I saw that many were falling behind all over the USA and I wanted to help out.

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a 2018 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Information Technology, and a minor in Latin. Since graduation, I have lived in Chicago working for a high frequency trading firm, and volunteering on week nights with a nonprofit called Tutoring Chicago.I tutored students all throughout high school and college, and am very excited to continue doing so through Varsity Tutors! While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects, my passions lies with languages: Latin, and of course English writing/grammar. I was very lucky to have teachers in middle school who showed me how fun language can be, and I take pride in my ability to make even the more "boring" parts of learning a language fun and interesting.As for hobbies and interests, I love being outdoors, dogs, running, tennis, and am the world's biggest Lord of the Rings geek.Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to being in touch!

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.

Hi I'm Quinton! I'm a PhD student at the University of Notre Dame and I love talking about chemistry! To me, chemistry is a hands-on, creative discipline, much like art, where we solve problems and design things the world hasn't seen before. As your tutor, my goal is to help you build the skills and confidence you need to think critically, approach challenges creatively, and build a deep, genuine understanding of the material.

With over 25 years of teaching experience, including AP US History and a specialized college elective in Holocaust and Genocidal Studies, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment. I hold two master's degrees, one in Administration from the University of Notre Dame and another in Holocaust and Genocidal Studies from Gratz College, which inform my approach to education. My teaching philosophy centers on connecting with students through relevant historical narratives and critical thinking, empowering them to understand the complexities of our world. I am passionate about helping students achieve academic success and develop a lifelong love for history, and I am currently certified to teach in Pennsylvania.

I have been a tutor for six years, and have tutored all ages. I specialize in the college admission process, and especially like working with students on admissions essays and test prep. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame two years ago with a degree in television and anthropology. I work at MTV during the weekday, but am free weekends and weeknights after 7:00 pm.

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 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 Debra and I have an MA in Anthropology from the University of Chicago. I really like engaging with the humanities and hope to help students improve their understanding of history, the social science, writing, and grammar.

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

I 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 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 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'm a friendly and dedicated tutor with a PhD in Physics from the University of Notre Dame and over five years of experience helping students at the middle school, high school, and college levels. I work with a wide range of subjects, including all levels of physics, algebra, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, statistics, and general problem-solving. My approach is straightforward: meet students where they are, explain ideas clearly, and work together through examples until everything clicks. I value building confidence just as much as building skills. Every student learns differently, so I adapt explanations to match the way they think. The most rewarding part of tutoring for me is seeing students go from "I'm stuck" to "I've got this." If you're looking for someone patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress, I'd be happy to help.

I got my Bachelor's in Biology from the University of Notre Dame and I just earned my Master's in Microbiology. I have been tutoring for 2 years now at a community college and love it! I enjoy breaking down problems and simplifying them to show students that they can understand. I tutor many kinds of biology/life sciences, as well as chemistry, math, test prep, and even music theory!

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend. I'm studying Mechanical Engineering and computer science. I've always loved math and sports, and I've developed the skills to help others succeed in learning both. Whether teaching my classmates, friends, or brothers in academics or soccer my goal is to make sure that learning is both fun and rewarding.

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.

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

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!

I enjoy helping students learn more about math. It is a great feeling to see the "light bulb" turn on. I have been a math teacher and tutor for over 10 years, which includes teaching secondary, collegiate, and graduate courses. I earned a B.S. in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame. I also have an M.B.A. in quantitative business analysis from Indiana University and earned my secondary mathematics teaching license/certification at Indiana Wesleyan University.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelors in International Economics and German and a minor in Philosophy. I have studied and worked in Germany on several occasions. I am currently a law student at the University of Georgia School of Law.

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 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.

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

I have a background in science and math.
