I love statistics. I have a doctorate in Biostatistics from UCLA and have taught college statistics for 30 years, including everything from undergraduate Introductory Statistics to PhD level Statistical Modeling. Along the way I have also taught Middle School Math Olympiads and High School Probability & Statistics, and have tutored several students with learning disabilities and math anxiety, helping them succeed in their college statistics class.

I love statistics. I have a doctorate in Biostatistics from UCLA and have taught college statistics for 30 years, including everything from undergraduate Introductory Statistics to PhD level Statistical Modeling. Along the way I have also taught Middle School Math Olympiads and High School Probability & Statistics, and have tutored several students with learning disabilities and math anxiety, helping them succeed in their college statistics class.
My preferred approach to teaching introductory statistics is conceptual, emphasizing the understanding of statistical ideas rather than memorization. Once statistical concepts are understood, the formulas and procedures make sense. I can help students carry out statistical procedures and interpret output from statistical programs such as SPSS, SAS, Stata, and R.
