Hello! I’m Dr. Michele Josey. I started my career teaching high school math, teaching everything from Algebra to Calculus, and later taught Biostatistics to college students at North Carolina Central University. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Mathematics Education, where I received a license to teach high school math, a Master’s in Statistics, and a PhD in Epidemiology, which involves studying patterns of health and disease.

I have over 10 years of tutoring experience, helping students both in and outside of my classroom. My approach to teaching is tailored to fit how each student learns best. I use a combination of straightforward teaching for the basics, conversations to deepen understanding, and practical projects that show how math and statistics work in the real world.

My goal in tutoring is to make challenging subjects easier to understand and interesting. I break down tough topics into smaller, understandable parts and use examples from everyday life to make the lessons relatable. I always aim to create a friendly and supportive space where students can ask questions and share their thoughts without hesitation. I’m dedicated to not just helping students do better in class, but also building their confidence in their ability to learn and tackle new challenges.

If you’re finding math or statistics tough or just want to get better at it, I’m here to help you with patience and guidance every step of the way.

Awesome Tutor - Very Knowledgeable

I selected Michele to tutor my daughter (freshman in college) in Statistics. She proved to be very knowledgeable in the subject and explained the problems in a way where it is easier to understand. My daughter loves her. She was receiving very low grades (failing) in Statistics. After two sessions with Michele she received at 77.5 on her next exam. Do yourself a favor and don’t hesitate on selecting Michele.

Rockstar Tutor

Had a blast working with Michele as my tutor. She was extremely professional and attentive. I learned a lot from her. She was able to assist me with my statistics homework using Minitab. She is hands down one of my favorite tutors on Wyzant. I am looking forward on working with her more!

Amazing and Very Knowledgeable

I am so grateful to have found Dr.Michele. She was able to help me build a tableau dashboard from scratch. She was patient, great at explaining different functionalities, and equipped me with the knowledge necessary to be able to build a dashboard on my own. She is charismatic, upbeat, and most importantly, she knows her stuff. I highly recommend her.… I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Dr.Michele!

Life Saver! Patient, knowledgeable and effective.

Michele J. is a life saver. My senior in high school is struggling with Statistics and fell way behind. Michele was able to quickly set a session with her and magically get her moving in the right direction - and more importantly - feeling confident to move forward. To add sweetness to it all, Michele J. made additional time the same day to continue working with my daughter with the goal to get back on track asap. We are so happy we found Michele J.
