Award-Winning Tutors from University of Notre Dame

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 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.

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.

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!

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 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 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.

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!

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 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 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 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.

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!

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 summa cum laude with a Bachelors degree in Finance and a certificate in International Business. I went abroad to London for a semester during my junior year, studying business as well as the social sciences. During the 7.5 semesters I spent on-campus, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students at a local community center. I also served as a teaching assistant for Process Analytics, a course requirement for the Mendoza School of Business undergraduate program. Im currently pursing my passion to help others and augment my own knowledge as I work on a Masters degree in General Psychology.I truly love to learn, and Im inherently inclined to share my enthusiasm for learning with others. My goal is to help students excel in all of their coursework, and to identify the subjects that excite them the most. Everyone has unique preferences for the ways in which they learn new material. I aim to devise individualistic strategies for each student with patience, persistence, and positive energy.

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 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 have a passion for financial and capital markets and love to teach and educate others.

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

I 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.

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 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!

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 understand how challenging STEM courses can be and will always try to tutor in a way that suits your learning style best!

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 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.
