Award-Winning Tutors from University of Notre Dame

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

I believe every student is capable of learning when they are given the right support, encouragement, and strategies that work for them. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students understand the material in front of them, but also to build their confidence so they begin to see themselves as capable learners. In my sessions, I focus on creating a supportive and patient learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I break down challenging concepts

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.

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.

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.

My name is Steven Marvin, and I am a Finance/ Applied Math student at the University of Notre Dame. I have previous experience tutoring at a Math learning center for over 2 years. I am passionate about helping others and problem-solving.

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.

Hello,My name is Tyler and I am excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I currently teach middle and high school social studies at Bishop Dunne Catholic School in Dallas. I teach 8th Grade US History, Spanish 3, AP Microeconomics, and Economics. I also have experience tutoring middle school Math while in college.I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and still have family there. I very much enjoy spending time with them when I am able to return home. I am also an avid sports fan and follow my teams passionately. In my free time, I love attending sporting events and spending time with friends and family. I am particularly fond of a good cup of coffee and conversation.

I received my Bachelors Degree in Biology at St. Edward's University, and received my Master of Science in Entrepreneurial Technology at the University of Notre Dame. I have loved science all my life! When I was younger I wanted to be a veterinarian, so to get exposure with animals, I worked at the zoo for four years. I learned a lot, and was able to share my knowledge with the campers during the summer. Finishing high school, and going into college, I still loved science, especially biology, but my focus shifted towards the human body. Not only did I excel in my classes, but I was again given the opportunity to share my knowledge by becoming a tutor, a teaching assistant in the biology labs, and even a supplemental instructor for some of the beginner courses. My passion for sharing everything I've learned has been stifled in the past year or so, so I am excited for the opportunity to continue tutoring. I like to make my sessions engaging, but also circle back to the big picture. I know that I was always curious about where a lesson was going, and I want to make sure any students I help has an understanding for why the current topic is so important. I know studying can seem boring and some subjects seem too difficult to ever understand, but I promise to help keep our sessions fun and informative.

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.

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.

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics. Next fall, I will begin pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Math and Physics make up the inner core of my expertise. However, I know what it takes to achieve high scores in all sections of standardized tests. I developed a passion for helping students achieve their academic goals after tutoring students in my mother's fifth grade classroom. This experience has also led me to tutor high school and college students. Therefore, I enjoy tutoring students of all ages and abilities. In my opinion, problem solving is a learned skill that is widely applicable in many areas of life. My tutoring philosophy is to develop students into better problem solvers while assisting them in particular courses or standardized tests. My hope is that by developing these fundamental problem solving skills they will eventually no longer need my help in future courses or standardized tests since they will have the necessary tools to succeed on their own.

Hello! My name is Anjali Ramakrishnan, and I am a Chemical Engineering student at the University of Notre Dame with a passion for helping students learn and grow. I have experience working with students through both volunteer and professional tutoring roles. As a Teach For America Ignite Fellow, I provided one-on-one math tutoring to 4th- and 5th-grade students, and I currently volunteer as a tutor for students in grades 15 in math and reading. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and student-centered. I tailor each lesson to the individual student's needs and focus on building both understanding and confidence. Whether we are reviewing foundational concepts, completing homework, or preparing for an exam, I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. As a chemical engineering student, I bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills to every session. My goal is not only to help students improve academically but also to help them become confident, independent learners.

My name is Katelyn. I attended high school at Benet Academy in Lisle. I recently graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where I majored in Science Preprofessional Studies and Spanish and minored in Poverty Studies. I hope to attend medical school, where I currently intend to pursue a career as an Intensive Care Pediatrician. Please feel free to contact me about additional availability.I first began tutoring in high school. I have experience tutoring grammar, middle and high school aged students in a variety of subjects. I believe that it is important to have a firm grasp of the information at all stages of the education process to ensure success both throughout later stages of education and life. Furthermore, I enjoy walking with students to success and the natural confidence that is built during this process.

This year, I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a bachelor???s degree in Chemical Engineering and a concentration in Biomolecular Engineering. I held a wide range of tutoring positions during my undergraduate experience including: an English Literacy tutor for grammar school students, an SAT Math instructor, and a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) tutor for college students. I believe my strongest subject to tutor is Standardized Test Prep (SAT, ACT, and GRE). Performing well on these tests can truly bolster a student???s application for undergraduate or graduate education, and I truly enjoy helping him or her achieve their best. I am also passionate about tutoring Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. My teaching style is not set in stone; I understand that everyone learns differently and will try to find a learning method that will suit the student. Next year, I will begin my pursuit of a PhD in Biological Engineering, and I aspire to be an undergraduate professor and researcher. In my free time, I love to play guitar, play pickup basketball, and spend time at the beach.

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

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

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

I 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 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!

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and Arizona State University. I received my Master of Science in Accountancy from Notre Dame with a focus on Taxation. I received my Bachelor ofScience in Accountancy from Arizona State. Since graduation, I have worked in public accounting and tutoring individuals from elementary school ages through young adults in a variety of subjects. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most experienced in Mathematics but have a strong base for English and Essay Writing. I believe a well rounded education is important for success in life and a strong understanding of Mathematics is necessary. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing/watching sports, watching movies, and being outdoors as much as the Arizona heat will allow.

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 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 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 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelors of Arts in English and Philosophy. At Notre Dame, I worked as a tutor at the University Writing Center, helping both undergraduate and graduate students with their writing. I also tutored local middle school students in reading and writing to prepare them for standardized tests. I had the opportunity to live in Spain for 6 months, where I became fluent in Spanish and developed a love for tutoring English language learners. Since graduation, I have worked with students at Midtown Educational Foundation and other extracurricular programs, and am currently pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching English. I tutor a wide range of subjects, although I am most passionate about English, Spanish, and Writing. I am an advocate of student-centered tutoring, and my goal is to support and guide students so that they have the satisfaction and confidence of knowing how to think through a problem and reach the correct answer. In my free time, I love to bake, read, play soccer, and act in plays.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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 believe all students are capable of achieving their learning goals. With differentiated instruction aligned with students' unique backgrounds, I help them learn how to help themselves.

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

I'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%.

As a goal-driven, hardworking Corporate Leadership Development Member at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, I am looking to enrich the minds of those around me for the betterment of society. I want to pass on knowledge gained from both my educational and work experience to students at various levels. I am excited to prepare these students to be the innovators and creators of the future!

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.
