Bio

Top 10% Wyzant Tutor in 2020.

I believe every student has the capacity to learn anything provided they are given the right instruction and get enough practice.

As a tutor I put my students first and find the most natural way for you to navigate through complex material and make measurable progress, whatever your goals are for analytics, machine learning, programming, and data science.

Regarding me, I earned my PhD from Miami University in 2017 and came directly to Macy's where I worked...

Top 10% Wyzant Tutor in 2020.

I believe every student has the capacity to learn anything provided they are given the right instruction and get enough practice.

As a tutor I put my students first and find the most natural way for you to navigate through complex material and make measurable progress, whatever your goals are for analytics, machine learning, programming, and data science.

Regarding me, I earned my PhD from Miami University in 2017 and came directly to Macy's where I worked as a data scientist in partnership with Microsoft for over 2 years on the Macy's chatbot application. I then joined GE Aviation in 2019 where I have built multiple supervised machine learning and deep learning models in the aviation supply chain space and U.S. Airforce / Defense sector. My broad professional and educational experiences gives me the credibility to not just help you through your coursework, but to plant foundational skills that will elevate you to new heights professionally.

I live and breathe data science, and can teach SQL, R, Python, SPSS, Excel, machine learning, analytics, statistics, and computer science. I also hold a Certificate in College Teaching and have 5 years teaching experience. I do this as a passion hobby out of a lifelong desire to pay forward my learnings.

I would love to get to know you. The next step is messaging me so we can chat about what you are working through and how we can get over the hurdles together.

Approved Subjects

Computer Science

Computer Science

I work as a data scientist for Macy's, and have completed a minor in computer science at Miami University. These courses include Introductory Computer Programming, Object-oriented Programming, Algorithms and data structures, Databases, and Data visualization. If you need help with introductory computer science, object-oriented programming, I can help with that. My preferred languages are Java, Python, R, and SQL.
Data Science

Data Science

I am an expert in R, Python coding, machine learning, statistics, and programming. My PhD gave me the deep academic training in data science, and my professional experience qualifies me to teach about the actual real world practice. I work with all skill levels and enjoy teaching data science.
Psychology

Psychology

I have my PhD in psychology. I know the field well, and can answer any questions that you may have!
Python

Python

For 5 years I have been writing loops, functions, simulations, building statistical models like regressions, ANOVAs, and machine learning algorithms. My minor in computer science helps to ensure I produce quality code! I also have completed 8 online courses at DataCamp in Python.
R

R

For 5 years I have been writing loops, functions, simulations, building statistical models like regressions, ANOVAs, clustering/classification and other machine learning algorithms. My minor in computer science has given me solid foundational skills, which you can also gain by working with me :)
Statistics

Statistics

For 5 years I have been building statistical models like regressions, ANOVAs, using clustering techniques and other classification algorithms, etc. I have a well-rounded theoretical and practical approach to statistics. I believe you learn statistics by doing. And to that end, I make sure we get plenty of practice and good foundational skills during our sessions. My minor in computer science has given me solid foundational skills in programming, which you can also gain by working with me.

Very Patient and Very Knowledgeable About Many Subjects

I am learning R and he was excellent at starting with the basics and I'm sure I will do well because of his help. I already feel more comfortable and this was my first lesson with him.

Chris, 8 lessons with Kurt

Patient Tutor

We had an issue downloading software that was needed for my data mining course;Kurt was patient and continued to try and help me figure out the downloading issue.

Maranda, 3 lessons with Kurt

Knowledgeable and prepared

Kurt helped me interpret regression output in R in addition to helping me with the code to refine my model to make more accurate predictions. He has a very solid grasp on the material and is easy to work with.

Thomas, 3 lessons with Kurt

Great Tutor

Kurt is knowledgeable on R Studio and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to learn R Studio or data science. He is an excellent teacher.

Sean, 1 lesson with Kurt

Knowlegeable and Patient Tutor

Kurt was more than helpful with my assignment, dealing with experimental design. He explained everything in detail, but still simple enough to understand easily. Kurt even made himself available, to answer any additional questions I had, after our session.

Sade, 1 lesson with Kurt

Knowledgeable and prepared tutor

Kurt went over some probability problems from a higher level statistics class with me. I emailed him problems ahead of time and he was very prepared, having looked at the questions earlier. Genuinely cares and wants to help you, I highly recommend!

Help for STAT course

The best thing about Kurt is that he gives the shortest and easiest way to find the solution. And he uses a simple language so that people like me who don't have a background about Stat can understand easily. He knows what he's doing. I really recommend him
