I can tutor SPSS Remotely :)

My specialty is teaching people how to use SPSS and run statistical analyses on datasets. If you're having trouble with Research Methods or Stats for Psychology/ Social Sciences, then I can help!

My two passions in life are learning and teaching. To me, there is nothing better than seeing a person's face light up as they suddenly understand a concept that once seemed impossible.

My two passions in life are learning and teaching. To me, there is nothing better than seeing a person's face light up as they suddenly understand a concept that once seemed impossible.

People learn at different rates and process information differently. My goal is to discover a student's unique needs and to present the material in an informative and engaging way. I explain the theory behind key concepts and use examples to help students visualize or work out problems. Rather than just blindly running a statistics test in SPSS, I help people understand the method behind the madness!

My background:

I graduated cum laude from Arizona State University, where I tripled majored in Biology (pre-med), Psychology, and Anthropology (human origins). My love for science and learning took me to Europe where I earned a Ph.D. in Psychology. Afterward, I held a Postdoc and Lecturer position at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. In addition, I earned a certificate and diploma in graphic design, and have worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. I'm proficient in Adobe CC Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

As a Psychology Lecturer & Researcher, conducting stats is a fundamental part of my job. I've mentored undergraduate students and have helped them with data analysis/ statistics (e.g., z-scores, t-tests, correlation, ANOVA, Simple Linear Regression, Multiple Regression). I regularly use SPSS and JASP for statistical analysis.

My favorite subjects in school were Math and Science. I have taken math courses through calculus, and have taken a number of science courses while earning my degrees, including Biology, Physics, Anatomy, and Physical Anthropology.

I highly value math and science, and genuinely want to help others succeed in these areas. I know how i

Great Tutor

Shelli was an outstanding tutor for me for my doctoral stats class. She was very patient and made the explanations easy. I was super nervous to tutor online but the process was seamless and just as easy as if you were in person! Her understanding of SPSS and any type of app needed for problems she knew completely. She also gave lots of shortcuts for different things that really helped me in a variety of other ways besides statistics. I will definitely be using her expertise to help with my statistical analysis as I go into my research project!
