...knowing the formulas and procedures is important, memorizing mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and pre-calculus though I am proficient at tutoring all high school and college underclassmen mathematical subjects. I hope that my passion is contagious and that all of my students leave me not only having learned the material but...

...extremely useful when used appropriately. But it can also be misleading and confusing for those who misuse it or do not understand it. Typically, my goal is to give students a firm foundation on how statistical concepts can help them frame and address important issues. Essentially, I try to give them the tools to think like a statistician. Although it's nice to work with students who are good at math, often the ones who need...

...can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers,...
