Experienced in Microeconomics, Algebra, Statistics, and Calculus

Marissa H.

I began tutoring my peers in high school (primarily in math subjects) and continued the practice during my undergraduate studies at Centre College. While in college, I participated in the After School Program and Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science (GEMS). The former was a one-on-one tutoring program to help low-income students with their homework after school. GEMS was a program we implemented in two local middle schools and involved weekly activities to introduce scientific and computer science concepts to girls in the schools.
Additionally, I served as the Intro to Statistics tutor for the Math Department in my senior year. I held help sessions three times a week and loved working with students to improve their math skills. I had several regulars, and they commented on my kindness and approachability.
In my time in graduate school at the University of Kentucky, I led seven recitation sections for the Economics and Business Statistics course, which involved reviewing and practicing concepts learned in their primary lectures for the class. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with students in a smaller classroom setting and help them iron out problem areas. In my teaching evaluations, I had several students comment that I excel at explaining complicated concepts in a simple way.
I also served as a lead instructor for two sections of Principles of Microeconomics, one small, in-person class and one large, online and asynchronous class. In both cases, students were able to ask for help during office hours.
My research interests fall under the public health and health economics umbrella and I have extensive data analysis/research experience. I work primarily with Stata and Excel for analysis.
