Students with Disabilities: Statistics or Writing

Carisa C.

Hello, I am deeply compassionate for all students attempting learn in today's academic environment. I work particularly well with students with disabilities. I was a student with disabilities, so I am familiar with the struggle to learn in a fast paced environment. My son was a student who struggled with ADHD, and I created successful methods for him.

I have a certificate in Learning How to Learn from UC San Diego. I am patient and I have deep empathy for the multi-faceted struggles with disabilities.

I have taken 7 college-level statistics courses. I received As in 4 of the undergraduate classes, and I received Bs in the 3 master's degree level courses. Statistics requires a competency in algebra, therefore, I am able to teach this precursor to statistics and probability.

I recently left my job at Microsoft where I conducted research using statistics and wrote research reports for executives.

I worked at UCI in the anthropology department for 15 months where my job was to grade papers for more than 300 students to help them improve their writing.

I was a professional writer for more than 10 years and I have written research papers for the Department of Justice. I have conducted extensive academic research and wrote reports in both AP Style and Chicago style. I have also written and published an e-book on the power of positivity.

In addition to the above background, I have lived in five countries outside of the USA. I taught English in Japan, Mexico, Indonesia. I also volunteered in Singapore at a school for students with special needs.
