Hi! My name is Dr. Melanie Escue - it is really nice to meet you! I have nearly 2 decades of experience tutoring statistics and 5 years of experience teaching statistics at the college-level. I am a professor at a U.S. college and know what it takes to ace that class!

Need more info? I also am a statistician on several nationally funded research grants and have trained a number of research assistants. I have expertise in both SPSS and STATA - and a knack for breaking down really big concepts into manageable pieces.

I have a Ph.D. in Sociology, M.S. in Criminal Justice, and B.S. in Psychology. I have published peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and reports (look me up - Melanie Escue). I also have extensive knowledge with academic formatting styles and can help you format academic papers and publications. I can help you develop surveys, build datasets, analyze data, and interpret your findings.

Don't wait! Statistics won't just get easier over time. Let me help YOU crush your statistics goals and perhaps even learn to like it (gasp!).

Incredible turnaround for my son

My college student and I were struggling to find the right tutor for Intro to Statistics. Melanie has been a dream from timely communication, to her knowledge and patience in working with my son to improve his understanding and grades in the course! Thank you.

Fantastic, Knowledge and Patient Tutor

Melanie V. first help me to know that I was on the right tract. Melanie V. asked the right questions and then provide not just insight but direction to address the question. Melanie V. is one of the best tutors that I have ever encountered.

Very Knowledgeable and Patient

Melanie is an expert in SPSS! I needed assistance with my Final Presentation for my class which required me to use this software. Thanks to her, I feel I have a better understanding of using this software. She made sure that I understood and could discuss the overall significance and findings of the model I was assigned. She was very patient with me, which made me very comfortable. So, if you need assistance or plain out, don't know how to utilize SPSS. Melanie is the one! Thanks to her, I aced my presentation!

Great help for Dissertation Analysis

Melanie was able to fit me in last minute and help me finish what I started with another tutor. She was knowledgeable and helpful. She actually fixed some incorrect things the other person had me do. Thankful for her help.

Complete and total expert

I am a 58-year-old doctoral candidate, and this is the third proposal that I am submitting in two years. My doctoral work has been a long and, at times, arduous journey. I contacted Wyzant for a tutor to refresh me on the use of a statistical program...I just needed a brief refresher. However, in the first few minutes of our session, my God, Melanie, enlightened me, giving me new insights into my research that my doctoral committee (chair and advisor) did not in these last two years. Within 30 minutes, I had more information that I didn't know I was missing or needed. She discussed my work with me in such detail. I wish I had met her two years ago. I would have been a doctor by now if my professors were as insightful, analytical, and knowledgeable, and had her perspicacity. If you want to succeed, please work with Melanie V.

Melanie V. Is really good at her job.

I was really confused on what to do in Statistics but when I did a session with her I started to understand the chapter better. She made sure that I got it. Went over it until I understood or close enough. She also good at coming up with other ways to explain the information so you would be a able to get it.

Great

My daughter that she was great! Super helpful... instead of just focusing on what she was doing in the moment... backtracked with her to cover knowledge gaps and fundamentals... hope to be working with her for the rest of the school year

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Melanie gave me an overview of the SPSS software. Instead of jumping right into helping me with my homework, she wanted to make sure I actually understood everything about the program, for future reference. Extremely thorough and patient! Awesome experience!

Gabriela, 2 lessons with Melanie

Very knowledgeable helpful

Melanie took time to explain the process of how to do the work and what it was that needed to focus on. She was amazing...I would highly recommend her as a tutor.
