About Lindsay

Bio

I am interested in helping you develop your statistics and quantitative methods / research understanding, including with SPSS or R / RStudio (I can help you if you are using Excel for statistics). I can also help you with your academic or research writing skills or editing, including learning how to present and write up statistics results.

I tutor to help people understand course material, but I also particularly specialize in helping people who need assistance working through the analysis...

I am interested in helping you develop your statistics and quantitative methods / research understanding, including with SPSS or R / RStudio (I can help you if you are using Excel for statistics). I can also help you with your academic or research writing skills or editing, including learning how to present and write up statistics results.

I tutor to help people understand course material, but I also particularly specialize in helping people who need assistance working through the analysis and writing of independent research projects, including helping graduate students working on a thesis or dissertation or more broadly dissertation coaching and advising.

Descriptive and inferential statistics at Advanced placement (AP), undergraduate, and graduate levels: central tendencies and variability, standard deviation and variance, skew, histograms, normal distribution, sampling, hypothesis testing, z scores, probabilities, t-tests, chi-squared tests, ANOVA (ANCOVA, MANOVA, repeated measures ANOVA), regression (including linear regression, multiple regression, polynomial regression, logistic regression), mediation, moderation aka interactions, Hayes Process Macro, reliability, validity, power analyses (including G*Power), non-parametric tests, factor analysis, and higher level statistical models as well. Just ask!

I received my PhD in social psychology with a quantitative methods (aka statistics) concentration from New York University. I graduated magna cum laude and with department honors in psychology from Northwestern University. At NYU I was involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate students, and in 2014 I received the inaugural graduate student teaching award for excellence in student teaching in psychology at NYU. I have also have been actively involved in statistics and writing tutoring online for 7+ years. I enjoy teaching, and am interested in helping people through tutoring rather than a more traditional classroom role because it gives me time and location flexibility: ** Online tutoring only! **

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I use Excel primarily in aiding with data management, for data analysis, for creating tables and graphs, and as a supplement to learning statistics. I use formulas and the data analysis tool and solver in Excel, but I do not use Excel for Macros or Pivot tables, so I will advise you to look elsewhere for those needs.

R,

R

There are many different uses for R / RStudio and many different styles of approaches to it (no one tutor has used all of the thousands of packages!) - so if you want tutoring help in R just let me know a bit about your course in terms of the statistics topics and they way they use R, or attach some examples so I can assess if I'm a good fit for you (i.e., Does your course focus on any particular packages aka library() such as tidyverse, dplyr, ggplot2 or does your course only use base R? Do you work from some general structure of provided codes or you need to create your own? What aspects are you struggling with? What kind of course is this, and what kind of tests/analyses are you running?)
SPSS

SPSS

I have used SPSS for over 15 years. I have taught SPSS for statistics to undergraduate, Master's, and doctoral students in both classroom and online tutoring settings - from complete beginnings to those undertaking higher level analyses. In addition to helping students learn course material, I have tutored students through their own data analyses (everything from undergrads with learning projects to graduate students working on their dissertations), I have assisted colleagues with its use, I have used it in market research analyst job, and I have used it for independent consulting projects. Highly experienced with syntax as well, if needed.

Statistics

Statistics

I particularly specialize in helping students either in (1) college level statistics (undergraduate and advanced AP students) or applied statistics courses and (2) graduate students who have to learn to use statistics in social science fields, nursing and medicine, business, education, and public policy. The quantitative minor with my PhD included extensive statistics coursework, as well as teaching Master's and doctoral students to understand and perform advanced regression analyses. In addition to tutoring for undergraduate and graduate statistics courses, I have assisted undergraduates in a research lab course to understand how analyze their own data, and I have worked with nearly a hundred graduate students needing help to understand their own data analyses. Growing up, I was generally very strong in math, but statistics was the only math-oriented subjects that at first did not quite click for me, so I feel I am uniquely positioned to understand students' struggles with it and help them get to the ah-ha moments. I have taught sampling and hypothesis testing, z scores, t tests, chi square, ANOVAs, correlations, regressions, factor analysis, reliability, and much more. Statistics can be a pretty broad term, I will not pretend to know the entire field as there can be some specialized niches, but if you are asking for help something that is not within my area of expertise I will advise you to look elsewhere - so feel free to ask!

Writing

Writing

I have a strong background in research writing, including helping students figure out how to report their quantitative/statistics results, how to tie those back into their broader themes, how to make logical structure and flow to their arguments, and how to apply APA style. I have been the primary author on three peer reviewed research articles and co-authored two book chapters, and looking back a bit further I won the award for best undergraduate psychology paper at my undergraduate institution (Northwestern University). I have worked with hundreds of undergraduates to help them refine research critiques, proposals, and reports. I have worked with nearly a hundred graduate students to help them successfully improve their theses and dissertations. I have assisted colleagues with the structure, organization, and arguments in their own research papers.

I have a PhD in social psychology, and in my role as a graduate student I served as a teaching assistant for social psychology (three times) and introduction to psychology (three times). I also have a strong academic and working background in clinical and abnormal psychology and experience teaching developmental psychology, but am less specialized in these area.

Excellent Stats Tutor

There are times when you meet a really good tutor and it makes it really hard to write a review because others will read the review and she will be so overbooked that you won't be able to get session when you need it. Lindsay is one of those tutors. If people found out how good she is at teaching stats, she will be booked all the time. She can take what textbooks make really complicated and teach it in a way that is simple without being simplistic. She really deserves more than 5 stars but that is the most I can assign in this review.

Elijah, 3 lessons with Lindsay

Great instructor, patient, and concise!

I’d highly recommend Lindsay. She was able to work through SPSS edits (very new to me) while also teaching me skills I can use in future tasks.

Brittney, 2 lessons with Lindsay

Excellent Tutor

Lindsay is very talented as explaining things from another lens and giving real life examples. I hired Lindsay to assist me in getting through my Quantitative methods course. She knowledge about the tutoring platform which helps save on time. I highly recommend Lindsay!

Tessa, 4 lessons with Lindsay

Lindsay doesn’t waste time, and she’s super nice.

She has the patience of a saint, too! We’ve gone of well so many things this semester, but every step of the way, she broke it down into steps in a way that made it easier to follow and, more importantly, remember.

Thomas, 5 lessons with Lindsay

Excellent Tutor!!

Wow, I was not expecting her to be so amazing. She was so incredibly helpful and patient. Would recommend 10/10!

Consuelo, 2 lessons with Lindsay

Great tutor. Very knowledgeable.

Lindsay has been phenomenal. Despite my lack of knowledge in the field of regression (multi linear and logistics), she has been very patient with me in explaining every detail of the field. She has the answer to everything! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is curious and interested in the field of statistics.

Yusuke, 5 lessons with Lindsay

immensely helpful, and brilliant.

Lindsay really really knows her stuff. I am amazed at how easily she can work through the problems I present her with.

Rozanne, 4 lessons with Lindsay

Excellent tutor!

Lindsay is an excellent tutor who made working with SPSS a breeze. Even if statistics is not your thing, Lindsay will explain the process to help you understand. I have more questions based on my class assignments, so I will “definitely” book with her again.

Valerie, 1 lesson with Lindsay

Knowledgeable, Clarifying and

Lindsay taught me about quantitative research methods utilizing SPSS. I came into my first session with a fog and Lindsay provided clarity. Her instruction was easy to follow and she responded to all my inquiries. She was patient and helped me gain a better understanding of the material. I look forward to my next session.

LaTasha, 1 lesson with Lindsay

Knowledgeable and incredible tutor

Lindsay is terrific. She definitely went above and beyond when I was working with her on my essay. She is very knowledgeable. I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking to learn a subject that falls under her expertise!
