Hello! I’m Barbara. I have a BA and an MS in Mathematics, and a PhD in applied statistics (in water quality modeling). I've been tutoring Intro Stats and AP Stats for the last 3 years on Wyzant, with lots of favorable reviews. Please feel free to check those out!

Hello! I’m Barbara. I have a BA and an MS in Mathematics, and a PhD in applied statistics (in water quality modeling). I've been tutoring Intro Stats and AP Stats for the last 3 years on Wyzant, with lots of favorable reviews. Please feel free to check those out!

Previously, I taught Introductory Probability and Statistics at a small university for over 10 years. My favorite part about teaching was never lecturing, but giving students time in class to work through practice problems I had created. I enjoyed wandering among them, hearing them think aloud in pairs, guiding their thoughts, and answering questions. I always enjoyed interacting with students who came to my office for individual help.

My strengths as a tutor are that I have a thorough knowledge of the material, I am very patient, and I want you to succeed. I know which concepts students are most likely to struggle with. I agree with you that Stats is unlike previous math classes you have taken. I will come prepared to a lesson with a good attitude and resources to share.

My request as a tutor is that you come prepared to our meeting with specific questions to ask or with material for me to react to, so that I can determine how to help. Your suggestions about what you think might help are welcome! I also ask that you come willing to work. The only way to become good at anything is to practice.

Besides working with college-age students, I have enjoyed tutoring my own children (while we lived for a time outside of the US), and I have volunteered with adult literacy and ESL programs. I welcome students of all ages. I will do my best to be prompt and clear with all communication.

I look forward to hearing from you and doing statistics together!

Statistics

I have spent more than 10 years teaching Introductory Probability and Statistics (roughly equivalent to AP Stats) at a small private university, where I have enjoyed regular one-on-one meetings with students. I am familiar with the questions and struggles statistics students frequently have. I have developed extra practice problems that I can share, because working on those can be a really helpful way to study. My students have found me to be well-organized, approachable and understanding.

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

Barbara was exceptionally patient and incredibly helpful throughout our session. She took the time to thoroughly explain each concept, ensuring I fully understood before moving on. Her ability to break down complex ideas, equations, and graphs into clear, digestible explanations made a world of difference for me. I truly appreciate her thoughtful approach to tutoring and am very much looking forward to working with her again.
