The explanation effect highlights the amount of information we retain when introduced to knowledge from different methods.

Waterloo Business Statistics Tutoring FAQ
A thorough understanding of the many ways that various forms of statistical analysis can be used to inform business practices and decisions is an important part of any businessperson's skill set and resume. Whether you are taking an academic course in business statistics or are a business professional seeking to augment your current comprehension of the subject to help you on the job, you will need to learn how to analyze complex statistical principles such as chi-squared tests, normal distributions, and statistical significance. Moreover, you will need to learn how to apply these concepts as tools to help you gain information relevant to your business decisions. The first of these challenges can appear quite imposing on its own, but when coupled with the second, it may seem nearly impossible to conquer without the help of an expert.
Varsity Tutors can help connect you with a one-on-one business statistics tutor anywhere across the country that can allow you to receive the personal, expert assistance you need to master business statistics. No matter what aspects of business statistics you find to be the most difficult, business statistics tutors are equipped with the skills, experience, and knowledge to help you work toward your specific goals. Personal tutoring allows you to study as efficiently as possible due to the fact that your tutor can customize the sessions based on your strengths and weaknesses, current knowledge of business practices and statistics concepts, and any concerns you may have about upcoming projects or exams. This allows each of your tutoring sessions to hone in on the topics that confuse you personally, rather than wasting time covering aspects of business statistics that you already understand. This type of personal attention can be almost impossible to receive in a traditional classroom.
Your private tutor will consider your preferred learning style and personality. They are able to adapt the way they teach to match with a style that works best for you. Business statistics is difficult enough on its own, but if your teacher is not presenting class material in a way that is easy for you to understand, it can quickly become overwhelming. A private tutor can help with this.
You may be surprised at just how quickly you can master seemingly difficult topics when focusing on them with expert feedback and guidance immediately available. Many people work best when they are able to get feedback right away. But this doesn't often happen in a classroom setting because of the number of students. Working with a private tutor can help you avoid this issue by giving you an opportunity to work with an instructor on an individual level.
Additionally, you have other commitments, your time is valuable, and your schedule is busy, so your tutor can make your business statistics tutoring as convenient as possible. Your tutor can hold your tutoring sessions whenever and wherever works best for you. They have evening and weekend hours available, as well as multiple options for locations. Tutoring can also be done via an online platform or in person depending on your personal preference. This makes your business statistics education as accessible as possible.
Business statistics challenges its students to combine two realms of knowledge that may not immediately seem like they fit together. Allow Varsity Tutors to help connect you with a business statistics expert who can highlight the ways in which statistical knowledge can improve your business acumen, or how thinking of statistics in a business context can help you see a variety of its real-world applications. Contact Varsity Tutors educational directors in your area today for more information about business statistics tutoring, or to get help connecting with a tutor.

Recent Waterloo Business Statistics Tutoring Session Notes
On this day, the student and I began a two-day, one-hour per, review for his AP test this week. We covered microeconomics on the first day and macroeconomics on the second day. He prepared before each session by reviewing all of the material and working on practice tests in his workbook. In our sessions, we went over the questions he did not fully grasp. He did very well in both sessions! It has been a pleasure working with him and I have no doubt he will wrap up his last few weeks of high school on a high note.
Today we went back to the beginning of the student's class and worked through the first few lecture PowerPoints. We covered, opportunity cost, PPF curves, and absolute versus comparative advantage. We solved some comparative advantage and opportunity cost problems. Finally we briefly reviewed supply and demand in anticipation of next session, when we will cover how price-taking countries respond to world price levels with trade.
The student just started a new unit (z-scores) which we discussed in a lot of detail to start. There is a lot of information that goes into calculating and interpreting z-scores so we spent a lot of time going over the basics. It took her an hour and a half just to make it through the first 4 problems of her homework assignment. The specific material was deriving and interpreting z-scores, using z-tables, the 68-95-99.7 rule, normal distributions, derivation of means/standard deviations/target scores, calculations, and a few other miscellaneous related topics. We'll be meeting tomorrow to review the rest of her homework assignment. After that we'll settle into a meeting schedule for the rest of the semester.
We covered 4 specific problems related to derivatives, swaps, options and futures. Good session; the student has an exam on Monday and will let me know via email when she wants to schedule the next session when she has a final in December.
During our session, the student and I went through the key concepts in Chapter 10 covering several alternative methods for inventory and estimation when using the periodic inventory method. In particular, this chapter covers the gross profit method and the retail inventory method. We completed his homework assignment for Chapter 10, working problems that demonstrated how to appropriately apply these different accounting concepts.
We specifically covered linear regression, multiple linear regression, and computing most of the terms. We also covered how to use tables for F-distribution and testing. I left them with many additional problems for extra practice.
