Jordan

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am still attending the University of New Mexico to get a Bachelor of Science in Physics. My hopes are that I can get into a good graduate program for Physics or Astrophysics so that I can become a professor. I tutor Physics, Chemistry, Geometry, Algebra, and Calculus. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physics, and Geometry. Physics and geometry are my favorite subjects to tutor since I am very passionate about physics and believe it can be taught at every level of education. Why geometry is a favorite might have seemed weird at first, but Einstein himself believed geometry is a branch of physics not math. This is why physics is for all ages. I focus on improving the students understanding of the subject. Then I focus on teaching them what critical, creative, and/or logical thinking they need to apply to the subject. For example I will start by ensuring the student has a vivid understanding of how gravity and acceleration are related before teaching them how a pendulum works or how to solve for the path of a rocket. I believe that by knowing how to critically think for a subject allows you to apply what you have learned for life, this also makes studying for finals much easier in the future. Outside of school I enjoy listening to music, working with computers in general and learning other languages. I enjoy improving who I am by meditating, reading, and exercising every day.

Overpower

Trigonometry Tutor • +13 Subjects

After graduating from a United World College Southern Africa with a Bilingual International Baccalaureate Diploma. Before continuing to college, I took a gap year where I volunteered at HigherLife Foundation where I worked as a success mentor; in this position I focused on teaching high school students learning how to learn and how to succeed in exams. After this chapter I continued my college studies at Earlham College as a double major in Data Science and Global Management with a minor in mathematics. During my college years, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for Elementary Statistics where I taught statistics to all year groups. I also taught International Student Success where I focused on helping first year international students adjust to a second culture and succeed in their academic career. Since graduation, I have started a consulting job where I focus on improving the South Bend as a data practitioner. During my leisure time, I like to go for a bike ride in the forest and do wildlife photography.

Katie

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects

I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of Maryland in May 2023. I would like to use my degree in a field that involves education, children, and studying child cognition. I have over 3 years of tutoring experience, and math has always been a passion of mine. Thus, I prefer to tutor children in math, but I am qualified to tutor in subjects such as Spanish, science, and English. I find it very rewarding to help students learn and overcome struggles they have in school. Their smiles alone make the work worthwhile to me. My past experience tutoring students includes working with children between the ages of 6 and 16. While tutoring, I try my best to keep the student engaged by including physical and virtual math games, physical learning tools, and other learning instruments designed to make learning more engaging for students. My tutoring style is pretty hands-on, but I also try to sit back and allow the student to think more deeply about the content and absorb the knowledge on their own. Outside of academia, I love to draw, especially with graphite, but I do occasionally use charcoal, colored pencils, and pens. I also love to exercise at the gym, but I especially enjoy hot yoga and pilates classes. I was also a gymnast all throughout my childhood and adolescence, and I was a gymnastics instructor at my hometown gym in college.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often find probability concepts challenging—especially understanding the difference between independent and dependent events, and calculating conditional probabilities. Interpreting data from graphs, tables, and statistical studies is another common pain point, as it requires both reading comprehension and analytical thinking. Many students also struggle with hypothesis testing and understanding p-values, since these concepts require abstract reasoning rather than just plugging numbers into formulas. Word problems involving real-world data scenarios can feel overwhelming without guidance on how to extract relevant information and set up the problem correctly.

A tutor can help you see the "why" behind statistical methods—for example, explaining why we use standard deviation to measure spread, or why larger sample sizes lead to more reliable conclusions. Rather than memorizing formulas, you'll learn to recognize when to use specific techniques by understanding the underlying principles. Through guided practice with real datasets and interactive examples, you'll develop intuition for statistical concepts like distribution, correlation, and sampling variability. This deeper understanding makes it much easier to tackle unfamiliar problems and apply statistics to new situations.

Word problems in statistics require you to translate real-world scenarios into statistical language and identify which concepts apply. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: identifying what you're asked to find, determining what information is relevant, deciding which statistical tool fits the situation, and then executing the calculation. Breaking down multi-step word problems into smaller pieces helps reduce overwhelm. With practice on problems of increasing complexity, you'll start recognizing patterns—like when a problem calls for a confidence interval versus a hypothesis test—which makes solving them much faster and more confident.

Probability often contradicts our everyday intuition because our brains aren't naturally wired to think in terms of long-run frequencies and independence. Classic examples like the birthday paradox or the Monty Hall problem surprise most people because they challenge our assumptions. A tutor can help by using simulations, visual representations, and repeated examples that build your intuition over time. By working through problems where you predict the answer first, then calculate it, and see why they differ, you'll develop a more accurate mental model of how probability actually works.

In statistics, showing your work is crucial because it demonstrates your reasoning and makes it easier to catch errors. You should identify the population and sample, state your assumptions (like "assuming a normal distribution"), write out the formula or method you're using, and label your calculations clearly. For hypothesis tests, explicitly state your null and alternative hypotheses, significance level, and conclusion in context. A tutor can help you develop a consistent format for presenting statistical work that not only earns full credit but also helps you think through problems more systematically and catch your own mistakes before submitting.

Calculators and software are essential tools in modern statistics, but understanding what's happening behind the scenes is equally important. You should be comfortable doing basic calculations by hand (like computing means and standard deviations) so you understand the mechanics, but using technology for complex calculations, creating graphs, and running hypothesis tests is standard practice. A tutor can help you strike the right balance—knowing when to use technology efficiently while still maintaining conceptual understanding. This approach mirrors how statistics is actually used in real-world settings, where professionals rely on software but need to interpret results correctly and check that their analysis makes sense.

Correlation measures whether two variables move together, while causation means one variable actually causes changes in the other—a much stronger claim that requires careful experimental design to establish. Students often confuse these because correlation is easy to calculate and see in data, while causation is much harder to prove and requires ruling out confounding variables and alternative explanations. A tutor can help you develop critical thinking skills for evaluating statistical claims: asking questions like "Could a third variable explain both?" or "Is there a plausible mechanism?" Understanding this distinction is essential for reading research studies, evaluating news claims, and avoiding misleading conclusions from data.

Confidence intervals answer the question "What's a reasonable range for the true value?" while hypothesis tests answer "Is there evidence against a specific claim?" If you're trying to estimate a parameter (like the average height of all students in your school), use a confidence interval. If you're testing whether something has changed, differs from a standard, or works as claimed, use a hypothesis test. A tutor can help you recognize these different scenarios in word problems and understand the practical difference in interpretation—a confidence interval gives you a range with a confidence level, while a hypothesis test gives you a p-value and a decision about the null hypothesis. With practice, this distinction becomes automatic.
