Shobhna

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects

Hello, my name is Shobhna and I am an incoming freshman at Michigan State University! I started tutoring elementary kids in my neighborhood by helping them understand the basics of Math and English. Further exposure to tutoring was through my high school's National Honors Society chapter (NHS). Our chapter's mission was to provide underprivileged members of society care packages with medical and hygiene supplies at homeless shelters and tutor students who had minimal access to academic help outside school. In NHS, I tutored kids in Math, English, Chemistry, and Spanish 1. Not only did I enjoy teaching these subjects, but I also completed these classes with High Honors. Since graduating high school, I'm further motivated to minimize the disparities in education among disadvantaged communities. To add, I want to be able to tutor individuals from various backgrounds to minimize the academic difficulties that students including myself face. As a student who struggled with seeking additional resources when I found lessons in school hard, becoming a tutor allows me to help other students by connecting with them and learning the best ways they learn. With that in mind, I can structure the best method to shape complex lessons into simpler explanations to make it easier for the student to understand and allow them to apply their knowledge to excel in class. Together we can learn in the best way possible!

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.

Leah

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +120 Subjects

I am a passionate tutor for young students ranging from kindergarten to middle school, motivated by my skill and experience in working with children for a number of years. My love for the educational environment and teaching methodology has led me to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have experience working with children through childcare, athletics, and tutoring. I have tutored students at libraries, virtually, and in school settings. As a tutor, I believe each student has a unique way in which they will comprehend the material effectively. Whether it is drawing out a visual aid, using real life examples, or analyzing the problem and breaking it down (colors are great for this), I can adapt quickly to a students situation to help them reach their goals. I am very cognizant of the extra support young students need with focusing and a structured learning environment, and have the confidence I can assist them to succeed with their work. Though I am well versed in all subjects, I favor the Language Arts and Reading subjects as an individual who finds joy in reading and writing in my leisure time. When I am not tutoring or in school, I find myself maintaining an active lifestyle spending time with my pets outside, running, doing ballet, or observing nature. I am looking forward to contributing to your student's learning success with my tutoring sessions!

Haley Shea

Elementary Statistics Tutor • +143 Subjects

Haley graduated from the University of North Georgia with two bachelor's degrees in English Writing & Publication and Interdisciplinary Studies (Mathematics/Technology, Social Science, and Humanities concentrations), and an associate's degree in Psychological Science (2020). Previously, she completed an associate's in Communication, Film & Digital Media Studies (2016). While at UNG, she worked as a Writing Center Peer Consultant, Supplemental Instruction Facilitator, English Department Student Administrative Assistant, Writing Fellow, and Ambassador for the Center for Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities (in addition to programming stimulus displays for EEG experiments in the neuroscience lab). Her major fields of study are supplemented by three minors: Linguistics, Psychology, and Studies of English Language Learning. Combined, this background enables a flexible tutoring approach that can be customized to meet the needs of both additional-language learners and individuals facing cognitive challenges. Haley Shea is currently pursuing graduate-level education in cognitive science, conducting neuroscientific laboratory research in psycholinguistics and brain-computer interface, and training for a career in human-computer interaction. During college, her top subjects were Advanced English Grammar and Linguistics. There, she was known for her passionate leadership of study sessions for sentence-diagramming, which inspired her laboratory research. An active community member, she was Vice President of the English Honor Society chapter and led the UNG Writers Guild for two years, helping students write and gather valuable feedback from one another, enabling them to better proofread and edit their work for future publications. Many of those writers saw their work in print through UNG's award-winning student literary magazine, for which Haley Shea served as an editor for several years. Other campus engagements included running the community book drive for over two years and founding an all-student improv troupe which went on to perform and compete in tournaments around the state and region. While acting helped her become comfortable on-stage, Haley Shea also greatly benefited from her time as a member of the speech and debate team, placing first in statewide debate and slam poetry competitions over the years. Her favorite topic of both debate and poetry is that of human innovation and interaction with emerging technology, especially in relation to ethical policies on artificial intelligence. Captivated by syntax in both spoken language and computer code, she is fascinated with recent developments in language-based software and hopes to contribute to the field of computational psycholinguistics while earning her PhD. After graduating, Haley Shea knew she wanted to keep supporting other students toward their goals. A scholarship student herself, she always loves any chance to help individuals express their strengths and unique personal histories in ways that will help further their goals. To this end, she continues to mentor applicants for nationally competitive scholarships and other student support opportunities, such as the McNair Scholars Program and Goldwater STEM Scholarship, two major awards which made an immense difference toward the funding of her bachelor's education when she was named an official recipient in 2019, in honor of her interdisciplinary research and commitment to fostering student success on campus. She finds joy in any opportunity to uplift other students--especially women in STEM, individuals facing disabilities, or anyone who seeks to improve their command of the English language. In sharing her passions with her students, she helps them break out of "analysis paralysis" into a fun, personalized routine that helps foster positive associations with the topic of study and strong metacognitive skills that lead to improved performance over time. Special Topic Announcement: Students of English writing, grammar, comprehension, et cetera may enjoy developing their meta-linguistic awareness through Sentence Diagramming. Ask during booking to learn more about how you can become a grammar wiz through one-on-one classes in Sentence Diagramming taught by Haley Shea.

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.
