Award-Winning Biostatistics Tutors
serving San Francisco, CA

A physics and mathematics degree means Sarah spent years working with error analysis, probability distributions, and the kind of rigorous data interpretation that underpins biostatistics — skills she built not from a textbook overview but from labs and problem sets where getting the statistics wrong meant getting the physics wrong. She approaches topics like measures of central tendency, variance, and hypothesis testing with the mathematical precision her training demands, breaking down formulas into the logic behind them.

As a teaching assistant for a graduate-level biostatistics and R programming course at Nova Southeastern University, Tyler has walked students through everything from ANOVA designs to logistic regression in biological contexts. His own master's research on marine fish ecology keeps him actively using these methods — running power analyses, interpreting p-values, and building statistical models from messy field data.

Biochemistry and psychology together mean Nathaniel has designed experiments on both the molecular and behavioral sides — two domains where the datasets look completely different but the statistical logic (choosing tests, interpreting p-values, understanding variance) is the same. That dual training makes him particularly good at explaining when to apply specific methods like t-tests, ANOVA, or correlation analysis, because he's had to think through which tool fits which kind of biological question. Rated 5.0 by students.

Elliot's PhD in neuroscience meant wrestling with the kinds of biological datasets where choosing the wrong statistical test can invalidate years of research — from analyzing neural firing rates with repeated-measures designs to modeling dose-response curves with logistic regression. That firsthand experience with experimental data makes him especially sharp at teaching concepts like power analysis, ANOVA, and survival analysis, because he's had to defend those choices in his own published work. Rated 5.0 by students.

Dan's graduate work in plant biology meant running his own statistical analyses on biological datasets — the kind where understanding ANOVA designs, choosing appropriate post-hoc tests, and interpreting interaction effects isn't theoretical but determines whether your thesis holds up. That research experience, combined with a 5.0 rating from students, grounds his biostatistics teaching in the practical decisions researchers actually face when moving from raw data to publishable results.

Bioengineering lab courses at UIC's Honors College don't let you hand-wave through your data — Shouvik has had to choose appropriate statistical tests for biological experiments, interpret p-values from tissue engineering datasets, and justify sample sizes in formal reports. That firsthand experience with real biological variability makes him effective at teaching concepts like hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, and study design. Rated 4.9 by students.

Psychology research lives and dies by statistics — every study Katelyn encountered during her degree required interpreting effect sizes, understanding when to apply a chi-square test, and evaluating whether a sample actually supports a paper's claims. That training in research methods translates directly to biostatistics concepts like probability, measures of central tendency, and hypothesis testing, especially for students who need the statistical logic explained through behavioral and health science examples rather than pure math.

Studying behavioral neuroscience at Lehigh and now pursuing a Master's in Public Health at George Washington, Katherine has lived inside biostatistics — from chi-square tests and logistic regression to survival analysis and epidemiological study design. She teaches the subject the way she learned to use it: tied to real research questions about populations and health outcomes, so formulas stop feeling arbitrary and start making sense.

A PhD in Statistics paired with a mathematics foundation means Bahaeddine doesn't just teach biostatistics formulas — he can explain the probabilistic theory underneath methods like logistic regression, survival analysis, and hypothesis testing, then show how those methods apply to biological and clinical datasets. Fifteen years of teaching statistics at the college level have given him a deep catalog of examples for making abstract concepts like p-values, confidence intervals, and study design feel concrete and intuitive.

Graduate coursework in global health and population at Harvard means Sarah's biostatistics training is rooted in real epidemiological research — calculating measures of association, building regression models, and interpreting results in the context of population-level health questions. Her undergraduate biology degree adds fluency with the scientific reasoning behind study design, so she can unpack why a particular statistical test fits a given dataset rather than just drilling the formula. Rated 5.0 by students.

An applied mathematics degree paired with doctoral-level engineering work means Professor Florence has spent years building and defending statistical models — the exact skill set biostatistics demands when students face questions about study design, probability distributions, or interpreting regression output. Her psychology background at UCLA also exposed her to the behavioral research side, where concepts like ANOVA, effect size, and sampling methodology show up in every published study. Rated 4.6 by students.

Three years of bench genetics and clinical research gave Selamawit hands-on experience designing studies, running statistical tests, and interpreting p-values in contexts where the results actually mattered. She brings that practical fluency to biostatistics topics like regression analysis, survival curves, and hypothesis testing. Her University of Pennsylvania public health training means she knows exactly how these methods apply to epidemiological and clinical data.

Biology coursework generates the kind of data — population counts, gene expression levels, epidemiological surveys — where understanding which statistical test to run matters as much as understanding the biology itself. Ade's biology degree means he teaches concepts like probability distributions, measures of central tendency, and hypothesis testing by starting from the biological question rather than the formula sheet, so the reasoning behind each method clicks before the calculations begin.
