Carlina: South Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I am an experienced data analyst / scientist with over 3 years of tutoring and over 4 years of work experience. I have a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and problem-solving. I hold degrees in B.Sc in Environmental Science and a Master's in Data Science from the University of British Columbia and have a passion for breaking down complex concepts into digestible, engaging lessons. My tutoring experience spans working with students of various ages and backgrounds - whether it's driving to a family's home to tutor their 5 and 10 year olds in English and Math or meeting with students in grades 9 and 12 at the public library to tutor them in math and pre-calculus. My favorite memory is when a mother texted me saying her daughter got an A in her math test after a couple of our lessons - it made my day!

I also have become a data analysis leader in my companies mentored incoming co-op students into our data stack and tools. I've taught project managers how to use data visualization tools like Looker and languages like SQL. I can also teach python, statistics, English, Korean, yoga.

I find great fulfillment in helping students bridge the gap between theory and application, especially in subjects that can feel intimidating at first like data science. As a visual learner myself, my tutoring approach is patient, interactive, and tailored to each student's unique learning style. I emphasize real-world examples to make abstract concepts more tangible, ensuring that students not only understand the material but also develop critical thinking skills.

Beyond academics, I enjoy travelling, being out in nature, learning about history and humanity, which further fuel my curiosity and love for lifelong learning. I am excited to support students in their academic journeys and help them achieve their goals.
