I spent 25 years at SPSS — and later IBM, after the acquisition — as a technical support specialist, curriculum developer, and trainer for the very software I now help students use. Over that time I taught everything from introductory statistics to advanced modeling and machine learning, to researchers, graduate students, and colleagues across the company. Today I bring that same depth to one-on-one tutoring in SPSS, research design, and quantitative analysis. Whether you're stuck on a regression, wrestling with a syntax file, or just trying to figure out which test your data actually calls for, I've almost certainly seen it before.
I also hold a Ph.D. in 20th Century U.S. Political History and have taught at the university level, including survey courses in U.S. History and specialized courses on the New Deal era and the 1960s. With high school and AP U.S. History students, I focus on:
Exam and quiz preparation
Essay writing and DBQs
Building clear timelines and understanding cause and effect
Study strategies and historical thinking skills
Most students who struggle with history aren't struggling because the material is hard — they're struggling because it feels like a pile of disconnected facts. My job is to help you see the bigger story so the details click into place. Confidence usually follows pretty quickly after that.
