About Jennifer

Bio

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I specialize in tutoring AP Statistics.

By day, I work as a data analytics consultant. So I’m passionate about data literacy which I believe starts with the fundamentals of statistics. And most students are introduced to these fundamentals in AP Stats, which makes this a really fun subject for me to teach.

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I specialize in tutoring AP Statistics.

By day, I work as a data analytics consultant. So I’m passionate about data literacy which I believe starts with the fundamentals of statistics. And most students are introduced to these fundamentals in AP Stats, which makes this a really fun subject for me to teach.

If you are taking AP Statistics this year and things aren’t clicking right away, I highly recommend finding a tutor. It’s the best way to avoid being miserable for the entire year. And statistics shouldn’t make anyone miserable - it’s actually a lot of fun!

Most students believe that if they are good in mathematics, like algebra or calculus, that AP Stats will be easy. Unfortunately, it’s not a given. Statistics is very different from pure mathematics and it can throw even really bright students for a loop. So don’t panic and just find a tutor who knows her stuff. Like me. :)

About Me
I completed my BS in Mathematics in 3 years, got a Masters in International Relations in Brussels, taught Mathematics and Statistics for a few years in South Korea, went back to graduate school - this time at NYU - to study Applied Statistics and fell in love with Data Science. I then founded the consulting firm My Data Science Tutor and now work as a data analytics consultant. So I basically use the fundamentals taught in AP Stats on a daily basis.

Teaching Experience
I'm a former mathematics and statistics teacher with 15+ years of combined teaching and tutoring experience. I have either taught or tutored every level of Mathematics from K-12, including Statistics and Physics. I have taught exam prep for the Regents Exams, AP Stats, AP Physics, SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT. I have taught in both public and private schools as well as international schools, on two continents. By far, the most fun and effective teaching I've ever done has been through 1-on-1 tutoring. And I have been tutoring with WyzAnt since 2011. (Back when their logo was an actual ant.)

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

In addition to tutoring, I have taught high school Algebra 2 as well as prepared students for the Regents exam (New York).
Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I have worked with statistics students from AP level in high school, to undergraduate, to graduate level statistics courses. When I did my post-graduate studies in Applied Statistics for Social Science Research, many of our data sets and projects where taken from biostatistics. I may not have the background to help specifically with an experiment design, but I can help with everything from cleaning messy data to running the numbers and interpreting the results.
Business

Business

I have tutored undergraduate as well as graduate level (MBA) students in business statistics. Most business students are taking statistics for the first time and are new to stats tools in Excel as well as other software. I'm familiar with the types of projects and assignments MBA students are typically assigned and enjoy explaining how statistics can answer their questions.
Calculus

Calculus

I have a degree in mathematics and over ten years experience tutoring calculus.
Data Science

Data Science

After a few years of teaching statistics, I went back to graduate school to study Applied Statistics for Social Science Research at NYU. And "Applied Statistics" is just code for Data Science. In terms of Data Analytics, I am proficient in R, Python and STATA. My favorite part of the Data Science life cycle is Exploratory Data Analysis - it's the part that makes me feel most like a detective!
GMAT

GMAT

I have 5 years of experience tutoring and teaching the GMAT.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have over ten years of tutoring precalculus as well as high school teaching experience.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have taught maths for test prep for the SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT for over 15 years.
Statistics

Statistics

I did postgraduate work at NYU in Applied Statistics and have taught and tutored statistics from the high school AP level to the graduate level. More specifically, I have experience in business stats (with Excel) and general data analysis (in R and STATA).

Patient and knowledgeable

Jennifer committed to helping me get 4 weeks of homework done in one session. She is very patient and knowledgeable. I went from an F to an A thanks to her. My first time getting a tutor and it was completely worth it!

Jessie, 4 lessons with Jennifer

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Jennifer taught me about excel formula for regression ( real estate project ) statistics ! She was was very enthusiastic and made me feel comfortable to ask questions and confident that I will do well on this final assignment for the semester

Lanae, 1 lesson with Jennifer

Excellent

Jennifer is such a responsible, knowledge, and helpful tutor. She helped me extensively. I am very grateful to have taken lessons from her. She definitely earns five stars.

David, 5 lessons with Jennifer

Great first session!

Jennifer was very easy going and helped me begin reviewing for the GMAT. We stayed on tasks and helped develop an initial game plan for moving forward. She is very down to earth and made me feel comfortable going at a slower pace.

Amanda, 3 lessons with Jennifer

Great teacher

Jennifer made me view my math lesson in a new way that made it clearer and helped me understand the content thoroughly. She let me show her what I needed help on for specific questions then showed me different ways to arrive at the same answer. I would recommend!

Vinny, 5 lessons with Jennifer

Excellent tutor

My daughter was having difficulty understanding geometry, and Jennifer worked with her and was able to get her focused and accomplishing the work that needed to be done. She was patient and thorough, and will be coming back again. Jennifer was just what we needed!

Bonnie, 10 lessons with Jennifer

Nice and on time

Jennifer has tutored my daughter twice in Geometry. My daughter says that Jennifer makes everything clear and that she has a complete understanding of the material after each session. She is also very nice and always on time. I would highly recommend Jennifer as a Math tutor

Theresa, 4 lessons with Jennifer

Making a difference in just one session!

Alyssa loved Jennifer! She is kind, patient and knows her material. Alyssa was a different person approaching her midterm after just one session with Jennifer who was Well prepared ...above and beyond...for the tutor session. Jennifer helped Alyssa identify the basic concepts she was missing ( that her teacher didn't teach!) and apply them to the more complex material that her teacher expected her students to know. This is exam week...but we will definitely be setting up a weekly schedule with Jennifer for the AP exam!

Patty, 1 lesson with Jennifer

Outstanding

We engaged Jennifer on short notice to help my high school sophomore prepare for his Algebra II midterm. She is absolutely terrific. I wholeheartedly recommend her.
