Having trouble with that statistics course? Stuck analyzing the data for your project or thesis? Or just struggling with general computer needs? I’m a patient, experienced tutor, and I can help.

I have a strong background, including degrees in mathematics (BA, summa cum laude) from the University of St. Thomas and biostatistics (MS) and regulatory science (MS) from the University of Southern California. Additionally, I have a graduate certificate in Clinical Trial Design and Management through the regulatory science department from USC and a graduate certificate in Six Sigma from Villanova University.

Currently, I'm director of statistics and analytics, senior statistician, and biostatistics practice expert at a market leading health economics consulting shop. And I'm adjunct faculty in the mathematics department at a local city college. Prior to my current position, I was a biostatistician at the Southern California Clinical and Translational Science Institute, a noted research center.

I have experience tutoring students in undergraduate mathematics, beginning and advanced statistics across a wide range of disciplines. Including the psychological, social, economics, business, and biological sciences. I will help you progress in your coursework and course projects. Most importantly, I can increase your comfort level in math and statistics.

My tutoring skills are enhanced by a working knowledge of both Macintosh, Unix/Linux, and Windows operating systems. I can help with you with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I have exceptional knowledge with the statistical analysis software programs, including SAS, Stata and SPSS.

I can also help you advance your study skills, which will better position you to manage future academic projects. I have specific training and teaching experience in study methodologies and techniques from the Learning and Writing Center at the University of Saint Thomas (Houston).

Statistics

My background in mathematics (bachelor’s degree) and statistics (master’s degree from USC and job in biostatistics) gives me the experience, skill and confidence to tutor the subject. I have extensive experience working with students in general introductory statistics courses, and students have been very successful in their classes after consulting with me.

SPSS

Widely used in the social sciences and often in the field of medical research, SPSS changes versions often. I've taught SPSS as part of introductory biostatistics courses, tutored students, and consulted with researchers. I have experience with version 14 through 20 on both Macintosh and Windows platforms.

Biostatistics

Through my work as a biostatistician at the Southern California Clinical and Translational Science Institute, I have developed practical approaches to handling statistical problems in the health sciences. I tutor both introductory and advanced coursework, including, but not limited to, hypothesis testing, modeling linear data, modeling categorical data (logistics regression, Poisson regression, GEE), survival analysis, hazard rate ratio modeling (Cox regression), and nonparmetic methods.

Study Skills

Although we learn in different ways, we can all benefit from recognized, proven study techniques that apply to the full range of academic disciplines. At the Learning and Writing Center in Houston’s University of Saint Thomas and as a STEM scholar and mentor, I gained formal training and experience in different study methodologies. I can teach them to you and help you develop study habits that will better manage your time and study environment.

SAS

SAS is used for statistical analysis, report writing, operations research, project management, quality improvement and more. It’s very difficult to master with a long, steep learning curve. The best way to speed up the learning process (or make you an expert) is with a knowledgeable instructor. I taught a graduate level introduction to SAS course at USC, and I’ve successfully tutored students with absolutely no SAS experience. I can teach you basic or advanced data management, analysis techniques,... Read More

Macintosh

I've been using Macintosh as a primary computing machine for more than 15 years. I'm currently working with OS X and have great proficiency with the operating system and many popular Macintosh versions of software including, but not limited to, MS Office Mac 2011, Stata 12, and SPSS.

STATA

Stata is a general-purpose statistical software package used by many businesses and academic institutions. I’ve tutored and taught Stata to graduate students in various disciplines and conducted corporate training. As a biostatistician, I work with Stata on a daily basis.
