I hold a BA, MA, and PhD in Sociology, and I currently work as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Michigan. Most of my teaching experience comes from my time in graduate school. I was a recitation instructor for Statistics for Sociology for multiple semesters, so I have extensive experience teaching statistics and Stata to undergraduate students. I received an average rating of 4.6/5 across four classes. I also have experience teaching Stata to graduate students. I led a workshop on managing longitudinal data using Stata, and I have provided dozens of hours of one-on-one help to colleagues and friends. My teaching experiences are backed by the 5 graduate-level statistics courses I have taken on topics including ordinary least squares regression, categorical data analysis, longitudinal data analysis, causal modeling, and hierarchical linear modeling. My goal is to equip you with the skills needed to overcome Stata's learning curve and become an independent coder and researcher.

I also was a Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Sociology, so I can tutor on foundational concepts central to Sociology. I have published in peer-reviewed sociology journals on topics like family, health, and inequality. I am comfortable tutoring in any undergraduate sociology course. Through publishing, I have experience writing clearly and synthesizing information to form a coherent argument. I can provide feedback on term papers, including their content, organization and structure, readability, and grammar.

As a tutor for math courses, my approach pairs clear instruction with hands-on practice. If students are struggling with a topic, I work hard to identify the root of the confusion and address it, and then return to the topic at hand. Once ready, I let students practice independently. Math is a subject that really builds on itself, so developing a strong foundation is the key to success. I'm open to tutoring students at all levels. I have a very flexible schedule and I'm happy to help- please reach out!

Knowledgable and Answer Driven Tutor

Jake was incredibly responsive when I was searching for a tutor to help with my Ph.D. level Secondary Data Analysis class using Stata. There are many ways to answer the questions I had on my Lab 1 assignment, and he was not only willing to help find the answer but also showed me different codes that I could use to help on future projects. I plan on using Jake again this semester as I know he will come prepared to go over the things I need help with.

Knowledgeable and patient

He helped me through some STATA steps I needed to complete, but I was stuck. English is not my first language, and statistics is not my strong suit, but he was very patient and respectful, guiding me through every step and clarifying some doubts.

Hesed, 3 lessons with Jake

Great and helpful tutor.

I would like to thank Jake for helping me so I can understand and pass that Sociology 301 class. Jake taught me how to find the t-statistics when the mean and standard deviation is given. Anybody who is sociology major like me, I would recommend Jake because he can help you understand the terminology.

Amazing Tutor

Jake is doing a fantastic job working with me and training me in Stata and statistics. He is a top-tier academic, and having access to his expertise and experience here is an amazing opportunity you should not waste. He is also enjoyable to interact with, and I look forward to our weekly sessions.

An Incredible Tutor

In just an hour, Jake taught me how to merge data sets and append multiple files. He not only showcased an unparalleled command over the intricacies of the Stata but also possessed a unique talent for imparting that knowledge. His coaching style was patient, accommodating, and tailored to my specific needs. Despite facing numerous challenges within large files, Christopher's brilliant problem-solving skills and guidance were instrumental in resolving each task effectively.

Helpful Tutoring and Wonderful Experience

I can run simple procedures in Stata after the tutoring, which makes my learning more efficient. I also appreciate that Jake showed me how to make a do-file and how to save it so that future work will be more efficient.
