I am a patient tutor with almost twenty years of experience teaching science, math, and data science. Over multiple years, I have consistently been among the top 1% of tutors on Wyzant.

The majority of my tutoring is teaching graduate students and professionals computer programming, statistics, and database development. I also help high school and undergraduate college students with science, math, and computer programming. I specialize in data analytics for business and all sciences as well as instruction for biology, chemistry, ecology, marine biology, and oceanography.

At university, I majored in biology and minored in chemistry and mathematics. During this time I was a general tutor and a biology teaching assistant; ultimately, graduating with honors. In graduate school, I've been an instructor for labs, as well as a teaching assistant and then instructor for active learning, gen-ed biology course.

Immediately after graduating with my BS, I worked with the US government on environmental issues in the Caribbean. Throughout grad school, I continued to work on environmental problems in the United States, Central America, and Asia.

I am also a PADI dive master and AAUS certified science diver. I have a passion for coral reef ecology and marine ecosystems.

I can help you realize your database goals by assisting with the process of developing, customizing, and fully utilizing/realizing a database application. I started developing database applications with Microsoft Access 2003 & 2007 and have become familiar with every version since. I have built databases for non-profits, private companies, university labs, and government agencies across many different sectors. At every step of the way, I have taught others to duplicate and expand my work. I am prepared to help you with data normalization, creating schemas and entity-relationship diagrams, writing SQL queries, developing forms and reports, and VBA programming.

I provide tutoring for algebra (I & II), calculus (I, II, & III), geometry, prealgebra, precalculus, probability, trigonometry as well as statistics and biostatistics.
R

R

For over thirteen years, I have used R / RStudio for data modeling, data visualization, and document preparation. During this time I have taught hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals, post-docs, and professors to do the same. On Wyzant alone, I have logged 2,000+ hours of tutoring R. I am prepared to help you with data management (both flat files and relational database), plotting (base graphics, ggplot2, and other packages), statistical inference (linear regression, logistic regression, frequentist null-hypothesis tests, Bayesian data analysis, etc.), spatial analysis, machine learning, and generating reports with Quarto/Rmarkdown. I am very experienced with the Tidyverse and other popular packages. Let me know if you are interested in learning about a specific package; I would be happy to help you out.
SQL

R, SQL, Statistics, Data.

Awesome: clear, concise, knowledgeable plus has the high empathy of a good teacher. Excellent with theory, hands on stat applications and fortunately blends statistics, analytics software, data science and data software.

Darrin, 5 lessons with Eric

Exceptional tutor

Eric has been tutoring and coaching me on using R for various analyses I have to complete for my PhD program. He is exceptional because he has the rare combination of deep expertise and great communication and teaching skills to help a novice like me understand the concepts and coding. He is also very patient. I am very glad I have Eric as a guide on my academic journey.

Felicia, 117 lessons with Eric

Very knowledgeable, very patient

I am learning R code and starting from square one. Eric has been helping me through an assignment. He gives thorough explanations that I can understand. Highly recommend.

Johanna, 4 lessons with Eric

Expert knowledge, very clear communicator

Eric is an awesome tutor. He knows R very well and he prepares in advance for each session so we are able to make great progress. He's a great communicator and teacher too. I never feel like he is talking down to me, even when I get confused about a point that is probably so simple to him.

Felicia, 117 lessons with Eric

Highly Recommended Tutor

Eric is an amazing tutor because he takes the time to actually explain concepts and make everything make sense. I came into statistics knowing nothing about R studio or having any grasp on codes and once I began lessons with Eric, I actually started understanding rather than just attempting to copy and paste. I do not think I would have made it through my semester of graduate statistics if it were not for Eric so I would highly recommend him to any perspective students having difficulty that could use someone incredibly knowledgable and patient.

Shana, 5 lessons with Eric

Knowledgeable and Accommodating

I had no coding or R experience before meeting Eric, but through our lessons, I was able to learn the basics of R, how to re-organize data into the appropriate format, how to conduct statistical analyses (e.g., ANOVA), and so on! Eric is really knowledgeable and competent with the material he is tutoring in. He is also flexible with the lesson plan based on your needs, goals, money/time situation , and so on! Highly recommend!

Jae, 31 lessons with Eric

Great Experience!

Eric has been so patient with me and explained things in a great detail to help my understanding. He is so knowledgeable to resolve any difficult issues in R. He is a great tutor, and I highly recommend him. :)

Sam, 16 lessons with Eric

Very knowledgeable and patient

Eric is a terrific tutor! His approach is exactly what I was looking for - to get a deeper understanding of R specifically with very big healthcare databases. Very flexible with session dates and times, and accommodating longer duration sessions. Highly recommend

Marianne, 34 lessons with Eric

Knowledgeble, patient and attentive

Eric helped me review some basic functions in Rstudio and was clear in his explanations. As a new student to coding, I have learned more from Eric in one hour than I have learned from my self studies over the past two months. He is a good match for my requirements to learn RStudio and I will continue to use Eric in the near future for additional lessons. I highly recommend Eric.

Mimi, 4 lessons with Eric

Game-changing tutor!

Eric is an awesome tutor and explains things clearly. I met with him based on the recommendation of a classmate for a Programming I class taught in R and I can already tell he will be a great asset for me in this class. Highly recommend!
