Benjamin

Applied Mathematics Tutor • +25 Subjects

I received my PhD in mathematics from Drexel University in 2019. I really enjoyed teaching as a graduate student, and working as a tutor here seems like a nice way to get back into it. Before graduate school, I went to Johns Hopkins. I started out as a "chemical and biomolecular engineering" major, but then ended up switching to a double major in math and electrical engineering. I graduated with a BA in math and MS in electrical engineering. From there, I went to Drexel University to write and defend my dissertation in mathematics, which was about two unsolved problems in linear algebra. While in Johns Hopkins and Drexel University, I ended up teaching a lot of math and a bit of science not only as a tutor, but also as a teaching assistant and as a primary instructor. Since then, I've been working as a mathematician; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Free University of Brussels for one year, and then as a research scientist at the Air Force Research Lab in Dayton, Ohio for two years. It's been a rewarding career, but I have missed teaching. When it comes to teaching, I try my best to take a flexible approach and meet students where they are. I am a big believer in the power of intuition and curiosity, so I try to teach in a way that nurtures both. I find that it is important not only to know how to get from problem statement to solution, but also to have some understanding of why the pieces fit together the way they do. Besides math and teaching, I enjoy singing, playing piano, playing online chess, and doing the New York Times crossword (and other word games). Lately, I've been trying to get back into running and yoga.

Adeyeni

Trigonometry Tutor • +25 Subjects

I graduated from Cornell University studying Biology and choosing to specialize in Neurobiology and Behavior. I have an extensive background in math and science. I was pre- med during my four years and I am currently working part time while finishing my final year of medical school. Right after graduating, I participated in City Year, an AMERICORPS education focused non-profit that partners with schools needing the most assistance. I led the 9th Grade academy where my job was to design tailored math and science curricula for 6-8 high risk academic students in 5 different classes. I provided attendance and behavior sessions for another group of students and I served as the Math Coordinator for my team. Since then, I have been working with Varsity tutors and offering academic assistance to other students in my school. Although medical school and tutoring occupy most of my time, I enjoy watching and playing basketball and soccer (futbol). I am a big fan of hip hop and the arts, as well. I have seen that the biggest challenge that prevents students from succeeding is a lack of self confidence. My mother is a part-time business owner, who couldn't operate a computer on her own until this year. When I was young, she simply decided that she was 'bad at technology' and it stuck. Eventually, my sister and I sat her down and gave her instructions on how to access the internet. The next day, we taught her how to use Microsoft word. We made sure that she focused on each skill alone and ignored everything else that seemed confusing. Two weeks later, she got the hang of it. I tutor by presenting the subject matter in a similar way while frequently setting attainable goals so that students will realize how easy it is for them to master subjects on their own. It is the same method I use to learn all of the challenging material I encounter every day. I look forward to meeting you and helping you build the confidence and skills necessary to succeed.

Timothy

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am an educator with over 10 years of experience teaching students of all ages. I am excited to expand my profession into the world of online teaching. As a high school teacher in Daytona Beach, FL, I have led classes from various subjects, including physics, engineering, and music. This has given me insight into a wide range of learning types and the approaches that work best for the individual student. Outside the classroom, I have tutored many that either needed help in a particular class or wanted a deeper understanding of their science and technology coursework. My passion is to share my love of learning with my students. My goal is to not only teach the material, but also to help the student connect with the material in a meaningful way. In doing so, may the students come to share my love of learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with Statistics because it requires both computational skills and conceptual understanding. Common pain points include interpreting what statistical results actually mean (not just calculating them), understanding probability foundations, and applying the right test to real-world scenarios. Word problems in Statistics can also be particularly challenging since they require students to translate messy real-world situations into statistical questions. Personalized tutoring helps students move beyond memorizing formulas to truly understanding when and why to use each statistical method.

Hypothesis testing is abstract, and many students memorize the steps without grasping the underlying logic. A skilled tutor breaks down the reasoning—why we set up null and alternative hypotheses, what p-values actually represent, and how to avoid common misinterpretations. Through worked examples and guided practice, tutors help you see the pattern in different tests (t-tests, chi-square, ANOVA) so you understand they're solving the same fundamental question with different data types. This conceptual foundation makes it much easier to apply hypothesis testing to new problems rather than just plugging numbers into formulas.

Statistics courses can vary significantly in approach—some emphasize conceptual understanding and real-world applications, while others focus on mathematical rigor and theory. Some courses use simulation-based methods or focus heavily on R or Python, while traditional courses emphasize hand calculations. Tutors experienced in Statistics can adapt to your specific curriculum, whether you're using textbooks like those from OpenStax, Pearson, or others, and can help you understand how different approaches connect. They also recognize which concepts your course emphasizes most heavily and tailor their explanations accordingly.

Look for tutors who can explain the 'why' behind statistical methods, not just the 'how.' A great Statistics tutor can connect abstract concepts like sampling distributions to real applications, uses concrete examples to build intuition, and helps you develop problem-solving strategies for unfamiliar scenarios. They should also be comfortable working with your specific course format—whether that's traditional inferential statistics, data science-focused coursework, or applied statistics in a particular field. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors whose background and teaching approach match your needs and learning style.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction in Statistics addresses your specific gaps rather than generic review. Whether you need to catch up on probability foundations, master specific techniques like regression or confidence intervals, or develop strategies for tackling complex word problems, a tutor can customize the pace and depth. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows students typically make significant gains because they receive immediate feedback on their reasoning—not just their answers—and tutors can identify whether struggles stem from computational errors, conceptual misunderstandings, or test-taking anxiety. Over time, this builds both competence and confidence.

Most introductory Statistics courses cover descriptive statistics (summarizing data), probability basics, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and often linear regression. You'll typically learn how to choose appropriate methods based on your data type and research question, and how to interpret results in context. Many courses now include working with real data using software tools. Personalized tutoring ensures you move through these topics with genuine understanding—recognizing patterns across different statistical methods rather than treating each as an isolated technique.

Statistics anxiety often stems from feeling overwhelmed by new terminology, struggling to connect formulas to real meaning, or previous negative experiences with math. Working with a tutor in a low-pressure, personalized setting helps rebuild confidence by breaking complex topics into manageable pieces and celebrating small wins. Tutors can also teach problem-solving strategies and help you practice working through problems methodically—from understanding what the question asks, to choosing an approach, to interpreting your result. As you experience success and develop better intuition for statistical thinking, anxiety typically decreases significantly.
