About Kristopher

Bio

Glad to meet you! I'm Kristopher, a first-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at NC State University. I've informally tutored since I was in high school, but I officially started tutoring in 2022. I primarily do one-on-one lessons and drop-in tutoring. For those who like numbers, I earned a 1330 and 32 on the SAT and ACT, respectively, and attained a 3.72 GPA as an undergraduate studying Statistics and Industrial Engineering.

Glad to meet you! I'm Kristopher, a first-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at NC State University. I've informally tutored since I was in high school, but I officially started tutoring in 2022. I primarily do one-on-one lessons and drop-in tutoring. For those who like numbers, I earned a 1330 and 32 on the SAT and ACT, respectively, and attained a 3.72 GPA as an undergraduate studying Statistics and Industrial Engineering.

I specialize in mathematics and data science, including but not limited to Calculus (single and multivariable) and Statistics (including probability) as well as the coding languages of R, SAS, and Python. My goal is to turn students into independent learners, and my tutoring approach is very procedural, though I am flexible and always willing to adapt to students' needs. I first establish a baseline level of understanding with the student before teaching new content. Next, I try to gain some insight into relevant prior experience about a subject. I use this information to help decide where to start and how to pace lessons. From there, I work with the tutee to establish SMART Goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Oriented) for our time together. I use SMART Goals because they replace vague statements such as "I want to get an A," or "I need to pass my final exam," by breaking goals down into actionable, achievable steps.

I stand out from other college-age and college-level tutors because I come from a background of education. Before focusing on Statistics, I was studying Math Education, so I have extensive knowledge on current education pedagogy and practices. Furthermore, math and coding are two of the most challenging subjects for learners, and I aim to assist and uplift my students so they have both the confidence and skills necessary to succeed. Feel free to reach out if you have further questions, or if you want to schedule a lesson!

Amazing

Amazing tutor was incredibly articulate, demonstrating great patience while carefully explaining each concept in a step-by-step manner. This approach helped me grasp the material thoroughly and boosted my confidence in the subject matter using GitHub.

Mikaela, 1 lesson with Kristopher

Awesome to work with!!!

Kris was very helpful in helping me achieve what I needed to and at the same time letting me develop an understanding of a new language. R is certainly very tough for someone who has never used it, but Kris helped me understand how complex it is and that becoming frustrated just isn't worth it. Very easy to talk to and patient and would recommend anyone needing help in R to work with Kris.

Jasper, 2 lessons with Kristopher

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Helped me to understand all my assignments and I really recommend this tutor. He was always encouraging and patient since I take time to understand. Highly recommend.

Zohair, 6 lessons with Kristopher

Kris is an awesome Tutor for R and Analytics

Kris did an amazing job helping me learn analytics for a report I had due. He is very approachable and was able to adapt to my needs since the class I'm in is EXTREMELY detail oriented. I recommend him for anything!

Daniel, 3 lessons with Kristopher

Very helpful!

Kristopher was very helpful in explaining things, and clearly knows his stuff. He goes through everything very slowly to make sure you understand it. Really helped me out big time on my homework, and I now have a better understand of how t-tests and p-values work.

Kelsey, 1 lesson with Kristopher

Knowledgable, patient, and kind tutor!

Kris helped me with an assignment that had to do with R. He helped walk me through every question I was struggling with and I came out of the lesson so much more comfortable about R. I Will book another tutoring session with him for the next assignment!

Arlene, 1 lesson with Kristopher

Willing to go the extra mile

I am very fortunate that Kristopher was there to help me at the 9th hour. He was able to jump in and help me complete the worked needed to finish my class. Knowledgeable and patient.

Marchell, 1 lesson with Kristopher

Informative

Session was good, would have been better if I were able to share my homework screen with him. Assignments didn’t open up in order for Kristopher to see the work that I needed help with.
