I've been tutoring students from middle school through grad school for over a decade now in a wide variety of subjects from basic math and essay writing to graduate statistics and dissertations. I teach research methods in psychology and psychological statistics for an online college when I'm not tutoring.

I like to use a student-centered approach where you guide the pacing and focus the contents to meet your goals. I like to use examples that are related to your discipline and interests.

Students say they like my easy-to-follow demonstrations and how I compare and contrast concepts in a way that's related to their course and major. I'll help you by developing the lesson to match your responses to probing questions as we discuss new concepts. As our lesson evolves, I'll include brief reviews to help with retaining everything.

I hope to equip you with the skills to further enhance and refine your problem solving. Thanks for reading about me and my style. Message me and we'll get started right away!

Biostatistics

Biostatistics

Almost a decade now of working with graduate students in the health sciences and professionals with their research methods and data analyses. I enjoy tutoring how to handle both empirical and secondary data as well as extrapolating effect size, cleaning data, odds ratios, and critically analyzing research. Hope to hear from you.
Psychology

Psychology

The theories and practices learned in Educational Psychology research have equipped me with how to best communicate and co-construct knowledge with students about behavioral phenomena from the perspectives of cognition, social, and developmental psychology. I've tutored graduate, undergraduate, and high school students with assignments, such as research papers, college applications, AP exams, dissertation methods, discussion posts, critical analysis and/or summaries of journal articles, clinical-based therapy recommendations, and infant and family mental health case summaries. I experiment in a psychology lab that focuses on cognition and emotion. We use brief interventions, such as, meditation, nature exposure, binaural beats, etc., to improve things like planning and creativity. As an instructor for Research Methods in Psychology, I teach undergraduate psychology topics, such as APA-style writing, neuro-imaging, experimental design, working memory, spatial intelligence, computer programming, and nature exposure therapy.
Spanish

Spanish

I received an A grade in Spanish I & II and then went on to tutor it for 5 years now. I've lived in Colombia por cuatro anos (4 years). I've been to 14 countries in Central and South America. Me gusta la cultura y la comida de Latin America (I love the culture and food of Latin America)!
SPSS

SPSS

For over a decade, I've been computing, analyzing, and reporting statistics using SPSS with and without APA format. I can help with dissertation research methods and data analysis as well as providing advice on choosing the correct statistical test to use depending on the hypothesis. I was a principal investigator of 4 experiments where I cleaned the data, computed the statistics, and reported the results for poster presentations and journal publications. I've got helpful tips for quickly memorizing steps in analysis using SPSS.
Statistics

Statistics

For the past decade, I've been fortunate enough to have helped high school through post graduate students in data analysis and research methods online and in-person across the u.s. I was trained at the preeminent research University of South Florida. From weekly assignments to dissertations, I've been able to provide practical examples with an emphasis on relating the concepts you learn with me to what you may learn next. From central tendency and variance to Multiple Analysis of Covariance and Structural Equation Modeling, I pride myself on providing quality instruction that's both cohesive and concise.
Writing

Writing

For the past 6 years, I've been really fortunate to have had the opportunity to help students and professionals with a wide variety of writing assignments and projects from brief discussion posts to dissertations. I've been able to help students of all kinds in developing, contrasting, and synthesizing sources and ideas into well written works. I've read and graded thousands of research papers and poster presentations as a Professor of Research Methods in Psychology. As a Tutor, I've spent thousands of hours assisting students with article summaries, theses, creative writing assignments, essays for scholarships, graduate school letters of intent, brief research reports, compare and contrast literature critiques, and more. I've presented psychology research posters on cognition and emotion at conferences across the nation. I like to ask though-provoking questions and guide you toward critically analyzing your story and sources. I truly hope my passion for writing leaves an indelible mark on you and propels your craft to the next level.

Excellent tutor and very patient

Devin is very committed to helping students learn the material. He explains concepts very well and breaks down problems in a clear, concise manner. I would definitely hire Devin again.

Tom , 1 lesson with Devin

Amazing tutor

Devin takes his time to explain things as many times as you need to make sure you really understand the concepts. He is kind, patient, and understanding when somethings are harder to grasp than others. I have never had a tutor before due to feeling like it wouldn't help but Devin has truly changed my perspective. Statistics is a very challenging subject for me and he helps you make it make sense. I would recommend him 100 times over. Well worth your time!!!

Download firm level data from world Bank enterprise Database

Devin didn't help much. I was looking for firm level data but what I got was an aggregate country level data. I understand he is not familiar with World Bank enterprise database.

Kinfu, 1 lesson with Devin
Tutor responded:

Kinfu, I hope you have time to open the firm-level data set and instructions I sent you. It includes instructions on obtaining more of the data sets like the one you need which i sent to you. I spent an extra hour for free producing everything so you have the syntax to convert the stata files for use in spss. The data set files at worldbank are set up for stata or r programming analysis. Let me know if you have trouble opening the excel data file and text instruction files or if you want additional clarification

Great teacher

Devin is a great teacher in SPSS. He has great knowledge, and teach you step by step how to run analysis. I am learning new techniques and skills that build my confidence and knowledge. Meshal

Meshal, 4 lessons with Devin

excellent first lesson

Very helpful first lesson! My software was glitching so we pivoted to which variables to use and which data points to focus on. Devin could tell me what to do in SPSS without even looking at it.

Jennifer, 6 lessons with Devin

Patient and adaptive

Devin quickly adapted to my atypical statistics questions and helped move forward my understanding of how key concepts could be related in ways that I had not previously understood.

Chris, 1 lesson with Devin

Responsive, flexible, and knowledgeable!

Devin helped me parse out the research design process and important considerations for a Masters-level course. Having little to no research experience, he provided me with a lot of basics and helped me understand terminology, differentiate between different research designs, and outline a methodology section considering the research I wanted to do.

Book Devin for

Devin was really great jumping into the data I already had and helping me decode. I truly considered withdrawing from my doctoral program all together because numbers in this manner really shuts me down. Devin explained very well and spoke in a patient manner. I will book again!

Genet, 2 lessons with Devin

Devin was a fabulous tutor!

Devin was patient and was presented the statistics information to my son in way that he could understand. My son really enjoyed working with Devin. He provided me (the parent) with good feedback. It was a very good session. I am grateful.

Excellent instructor

Very knowledgable. Bonus point because he was willing to help me with short notice. I very much appreciated his help and explanation of information I did not understand. I left the session feeling very prepared.
