I am an experienced educator with two primary areas of expertise: statistical analysis (SPSS, research methods, predictive modeling) and United States history.
For over 25 years, I worked at SPSS (later IBM) as a technical support specialist, curriculum developer, and trainer, teaching statistical methods ranging from introductory statistics to advanced modeling and machine learning. I continue to tutor students and researchers in SPSS, research design, and quantitative analysis.
In addition to my background in statistics, I hold a Ph.D. in 20th Century U.S. Political History and have taught United States history at the university level, including survey courses in U.S. History as well as specialized courses on the New Deal era and the 1960s.
I also work with high school students in U.S. History and AP U.S. History, helping them:
• Prepare for exams and quizzes
• Strengthen essay writing and DBQ skills
• Build clear timelines and understand cause-and-effect relationships
• Improve study strategies and historical thinking skills
Many students struggle with history not because it is difficult, but because the material feels disconnected. I help students see the big picture so the details make sense — and their confidence improves quickly.
