Mikaelah
DSC New York University

I graduated with a BA in Politics and a BA in Anthropology from NYU in 2022. I also hold a MS in Biomedical Anthropology and a Graduate Certificate in Forensic Health and Nursing from SUNY Binghamton (graduated May 2024). I have worked in education, with a previous position with America Reads/America Counts teaching elementary students in the NYC public school system. My previous virtual tutoring experience was with Curious Cardinals, where I had tutored high school students with the following: forensic science, biology (anatomy, genetics), SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, ACT English and ACT Reading. I have experience working in forensic science policy at the Innocence Project, which is an organization focused on exonerating individuals who were wrongfully convicted of crime. In this role, I have written testimonials, case reports, and research articles on forensic identification methods and their legal, ethical, political, and privacy implications in casework. I have also worked in the forensic science sector as a Criminalist II at the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME). In this position, I assisted medical examiners (forensic pathologists) in the positive identification of deceased individuals throughout New York City. I also assisted in missing persons inquiries that were brought to the agency. Recently, I completed a research project in Vitoria de Santo Antao and Recife (both in the state of Pernambuco, in northeast Brazil) as a Fulbright Grantee. My research focused on osteology, forensic anthropology, and forensic genetics. My project involved metric analyses of bones combined with analyzing genetic information from DNA taken from bones. Currently, I am a doctoral student of Biological Sciences - Genetics at the University of Sao Paulo (USP). As a doctoral student, my dissertation project is expanding on the research I did with the Fulbright grant and is based on the central question/problem: What is the evolutionary relationship between skeletal morphology (primarily size), external pigmentation (i.e., skin, hair), and the presence of vitamin D deficiencies (which are indicated by the presence of skeletal lesions and decreased bone mineral density)? My favorite subjects in school were biology and anatomy, U.S. history, statistics, pre-algebra and algebra I, language and literature. I also partook in concert band and orchestra both in high school and in college. I am excited to share my skills and knowledge in these subjects with you, as well!

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with interpreting data and understanding when to apply different statistical methods. Common pain points include distinguishing between correlation and causation, working with probability concepts, and translating real-world scenarios into statistical problems. Statistics also requires strong foundational math skills—particularly with fractions, decimals, and algebraic manipulation—so gaps in these areas can compound difficulties. Personalized tutoring helps students build conceptual understanding rather than just memorizing formulas, which is key to success in the course.

Word problems in Statistics require you to first identify what's being asked, determine which statistical tools apply, and then execute the calculations correctly. Expert tutors help you develop a systematic approach: reading carefully, organizing given information, sketching distributions or plots when helpful, and checking whether your answer makes sense in context. Breaking problems into smaller steps and practicing this strategy repeatedly builds confidence and reduces the anxiety many students feel around word problems.

Yes—Statistics is taught using various approaches depending on your school and textbook. Some programs emphasize computational methods, while others focus more on conceptual understanding and interpretation. Tutors who work with students in Birmingham are familiar with the different curricula used across the area's school districts and can adapt their instruction to match your specific course materials and learning objectives, whether you're in AP Statistics, college-level Statistics, or a business/science Statistics course.

Statistics anxiety often stems from feeling lost or unsure whether you're approaching problems correctly. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to address your specific misconceptions, show you why certain methods work, and give you plenty of practice with feedback in a low-pressure environment. As you work through problems step-by-step and see patterns emerge, you develop a stronger sense of mastery—and that confidence carries directly into your classroom and on tests.

During your first session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of Statistics concepts, identify specific areas where you're struggling, and learn about your learning style and goals. This might include reviewing recent assignments, discussing which topics feel confusing, or working through a practice problem together. From there, the tutor creates a personalized plan focused on your needs—whether that's building foundational probability skills, mastering hypothesis testing, or preparing for an exam.

Showing your work in Statistics isn't just about getting points—it reveals your thinking process and helps both you and your tutor identify where misunderstandings occur. A student might arrive at an incorrect answer because they misidentified the problem type, used the wrong formula, or made a calculation error, and each requires different intervention. When you write out your steps, you also strengthen your own understanding and make it easier to catch and correct mistakes before submitting assignments or taking tests.

Look for tutors with strong backgrounds in mathematics and Statistics—ideally with experience teaching or tutoring the specific Statistics course you're taking. They should be able to explain not just how to do calculations, but why those methods work and when to use them. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand Statistics deeply and know how to break down complex concepts into understandable pieces, helping you build both skills and confidence.

Like all math, Statistics requires consistent practice to move from understanding a concept to applying it fluently. Most students benefit from working through multiple problems of each type—starting with guided examples, progressing to independent practice, and then tackling more complex, multi-step problems. A tutor can help you practice strategically by focusing on areas where you're weakest, providing targeted feedback, and gradually building your problem-solving speed and accuracy.
