About Darin


Bio

My name is Darin and I've been involved in education for the better part of the last 20 years. I have experience teaching several history courses including AP as well as multiple facets of English/Language Arts. I have a background in Psychology and biochemistry and I'm a pretty good hand with math as well, so I'm happy to help you just about anywhere you need. I've tutored in a variety of subjects and am comfortable in most environments, so let's get learning!

My name is Darin and I've been involved in education for the better part of the last 20 years. I have experience teaching several history courses including AP as well as multiple facets of English/Language Arts. I have a background in Psychology and biochemistry and I'm a pretty good hand with math as well, so I'm happy to help you just about anywhere you need. I've tutored in a variety of subjects and am comfortable in most environments, so let's get learning!
I enjoy drawing, blacksmithing, reading, and video games as some of my main hobbies and am a father of 5 amazing kids. I've lived in South Bend for over a year now and before that taught in Nevada for several years. I'm pretty much an open book and really enjoy helping kids succeed in school and advance through life. I look forward to being your tutor!

I have a broad, versatile vocabulary. I am well-read and actively teach ELA 10 and have taught ELA 9 and 12. I read often and teach reading comprehension skills to my students every year. Proofreading is a specialty of mine as I am actively a Beta-Reader for several authors and part of my job is to catch errors and improve the flow of their writing.

I'm easy to get along with and good at connecting with students. I enjoy the learning process and live for the "Ah-HAH!" moments in life and from my pupils. Please reach out to find out more information about me and my experience as well to schedule lessons. I'm available immediately!

Helpful tutor

Darin was able to jump right into what my son needed help with and also offered helpful resources beyond that specific assignment. We will definitely continue to work with Darin.

excellent teacher

Darin is an amazing instructor he is creative and passionate about helping my twin daughters achieve their goals. He did an assessment test so that he was able to meet them where they were. To help them elevate he asked some questions around subjects that they understood the best, and then show them how to use proper grammar , which they really enjoyed. He made sure to have each one of my daughters participate to really gain a perspective on their understanding. He’s such a pleasure to work with.

Very highly recommend!

Darin has worked with my son a handful of times and I’ve seen my son’s confidence improve dramatically as well as his outlook on a class that has been a challenge all year long. Darin is responsive and has been wonderful to work with. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

great teacher

Another great lesson with Darin. He helped with my son’s specific assignment and also with the bigger ideas of how to build a strong argument.
