Hey there! I'm David. I am a graduate student at the University of Chicago, where I study political science. I graduated with a 4.0 from East Tennessee State University, receiving two B.A.s in Political Science and International Affairs. A dedicated student, I have experience tutoring my peers in applied statistics, political science, writing,, research design, and more. I have acquired extensive training in statistical computing, specifically in R, and I enjoy helping students explore the overlap between social science and quantitative research.

I have applied training in statistics due to my graduate-level work in Application of Statistics and Advanced Quantitative Research Methods. I have a 74th percentile score on the Quantitative section of the GRE, and I have experience tutoring my peers in statistics and R. Examples of my strong subjects include: linear regression (OLS), t-tests, chi-squared tests, Binomial distributions, and Analysis of Variance models.

I have a 96th percentile score on the Verbal section of the GRE as well as a 98th percentile writing score, and I enjoy proofreading student essays and offering feedback for improvement. My prior proofreading has been for both academic work and applications for schools, fellowships, and jobs. As a tutor, my goal in providing essay feedback is to encourage and empower students to tell their stories in ways that are personal and unique to them while equipping their essays with the grammatical tools and structure required to leave lasting impacts on readers.

A comparative political scientist by trade, I am happy to help students with topics related to political development, political economy, the resource curse, and more. Within comparative politics, I have studied China, Russia, Eastern & Western Europe, Nigeria, Mexico, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and France.

I hope you will consider choosing me as your tutor in statistics, writing, and/or political science. I am happy to answer questions and will do my best to respond within 24 hours.

Exceptional stats/R tutor

I have been meeting with David to get support in understanding advanced statistics using R. Not only does he understand the theoretical and mathematical backdrop of statistical testing, but he can explain this all with ease and patience. His background in the social sciences has been especially beneficial for my questions; he understands the logic behind relationships. If I was the chair of an undergraduate statistics program, I would hire him to teach a course to new students. I would highly recommend David to anyone who needs support in understanding statistics, without reservation!

Excellent tutor!

We reached out to David for my son’s Quantitative Methods college class. I was extremely impressed from the beginning when he asked to look at the assignments “to make sure I am a good fit for your son.” Over the course of a month, he helped him understand some very complex formulas and concepts. David is extremely patient and made sure my son understood all of the problems and assignments. He was very flexible with his time, even though we had some last-minute requests. I can’t recommend him enough!!!

Knowledgeable, patient and kind tutor :)

David helped me with a homework assignment that I found really overwhelming. Aside from being knowledgeable about research and comfortable with the platform on Wyzant, he is very easy to talk to and I would highly recommend him as a tutor! 10/10.
