Jeffrey
BA University of Notre Dame • Doctor of Philosophy, Mechanical Engineering Rice University
4+ Years Tutoring

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.

9+ Years Tutoring

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/

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.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from University of Notre Dame bring both academic excellence and real-world experience. They've successfully navigated Notre Dame's rigorous curriculum, which means they understand what it takes to master challenging material. Beyond their degree, many have professional experience in their fields and have honed their teaching skills through working with students at various levels.

Alumni tutors bring insider knowledge of rigorous coursework and high academic standards. They've been through demanding classes themselves, so they know which concepts trip up students most and how to break them down effectively. Beyond subject expertise, they understand the mindset and work ethic needed for success—and can share strategies that helped them excel at a top university.

Notre Dame tutors work across a wide range of subjects including engineering, sciences, mathematics, business, humanities, and languages. Because Notre Dame offers specialized programs in fields like aerospace engineering, architecture, and theology, you can connect with tutors who have deep expertise in these areas. Whether you need help with core academic subjects or more specialized coursework, alumni tutors understand both foundational concepts and advanced applications.

Yes. Notre Dame alumni tutors have experience preparing for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT. They've taken these exams themselves and understand the strategies that lead to strong scores. They can help you identify weak areas, develop a study plan, and practice with realistic problems to build both confidence and performance.

Absolutely. Alumni tutors can be especially valuable for high school students preparing for college-level work. They can help strengthen foundational skills in core subjects, guide essay writing and research skills, and share insights about what college coursework actually demands. This preparation is particularly helpful if you're aiming for selective universities or challenging majors like engineering or pre-med.

One-on-one instruction allows a tutor to adapt completely to your learning style, pace, and specific goals. A Notre Dame tutor can focus entirely on your weak areas, ask questions to check your understanding, and adjust explanations in real-time. Research on learning shows that personalized instruction is significantly more effective than group settings because it targets exactly what you need—no time wasted on material you've already mastered.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who match your specific needs—whether that's subject area, academic level, or learning goals. You can share details about what you're working on, and we'll match you with a qualified Notre Dame alumnus tutor.
