Award-Winning Biostatistics Tutors serving Tucson, AZ

...15+ years and I'm excited to bring my knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for learning and teaching to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on...

...from grades 4-12 as well as several college classes. I have always loved being able to work with a student or colleague to find the right answer of a difficult question. I tutor math (Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra) as well as SAT math, English, and science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Biochemistry). I really enjoy tutoring math and English! Math always has an answer to work towards and can be taught using various mediums. English is...

...attending physicians, nurses, and the remainder of the healthcare team about patients, medical conditions, journal articles, etc. Teaching and informing these individuals, who all had differing levels of education, at the same time was tricky, but I found that I was able to tailor my teaching to the entire audience, so as to ensure that everyone understood what was being discussed. This is both my teaching philosophy and tutoring style. No one teaching style works...

...Psychology & Experimental Neuroscience from Elon University, located in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter I began to work towards my PhD in the field of experimental neuroscience research. My strongest subjects include statistics, math, and the sciences. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be statistics, mostly because I have taken so many classes in this subject that it is like second nature at this point. Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer....

...but also the practical application of that information in the context of human society. I strongly believe in scientists taking an active role in spreading science education and literacy as a part of this process, and this is what drove me to seek a position as a tutor for Varsity Tutors. I graduated with my Masters of Science in Ecology in May 2016, and while I had three years of teaching experience during that time,...

...at a Boys and Girls Club and then at a hospital in Atlanta before moving to Boston for graduate school. I got my MPH at Tufts and began medical school at Tufts as well before deciding to take some time away from school to reevaluate my career goals and to enjoy myself a bit! I love spending time with my dogs, playing various sports, teaching, and learning new things for myself as well! I look...

...has to do with the body, so I would be very excited to assist with biology or other topics in that area. In addition to general coursework, I'm more than happy to help with exam prep for the math, science, and writing sections of the SAT/ACT (no critical reading/reasoning...not a huge fan of that stuff!). Outside of school, I really enjoy traveling to other countries during breaks or whenever I get the chance. I love...

...the University of California, San Diego. I love science and math and, luckily, Bioengineering allows me to study everything from Cell Biology to Mechanics to Differential Equations. I regularly taught classical dance to a class of 15 young girls when I was in high school; breaking down dance steps for them really taught me how to deconstruct and convey ideas. I'm patient and logical and love to work with kids. Besides taking classes, I volunteer...

...recent Ph. D graduate from Iowa State. While at Iowa State, I was a teaching assistant for the class "Genetics, Biotechnology, and Agriculture" for a year. As a plant breeding major, in addition to extensive classes in genetics, I have experience in studying plant physiology, and gained experience in statistics both from classes and from analysis required in publishing journal manuscripts and my dissertation. The main statistics program I worked with is SAS.... Memorization is not...

...the ACT, SAT, and GRE. I have nine years of tutoring experience, tutoring students from elementary age to graduate level, as well as working with students with special needs. I particularly enjoy tutoring mathematics, biology, and helping students prepare for standardized tests. I can also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when...
