Psychology PhD with Training and Teaching Experience in Statistics

Grace F.

I received my PhD in psychology with a Quantitative Concentration from the CUNY Graduate Center. Although my primary research and training is in psychology, I have always been interested in mathematics (and especially statistics). I received a minor in Statistics from my undergraduate institution, and taught statistics for social science at several college institutions. I am trained in conducting statistical analyses using R/RStudio, Jamovi, and SPSS. Prior to my graduate training, I developed K-12 lesson plans and promoted diversity in STEM education. I also spent a year as a substitute teacher and a high school educator (in psychology).

My path to falling in love with Statistics was not easy. I, too, struggled with solving problems, interpretations, and application of statistical concepts. But, I am here to tell you it gets easier over time. My goal as a tutor is to make math (and statistics in particular) seem like an approachable subject, and one that you can use to answer questions in your everyday life.

Over the course of my career, I have learned how to teach math in approachable ways. In developing STEM lesson plans, I used graphic novels to introduce difficult concepts. As a professor, I applied Statistical concepts to everyday life, focused on graph literacy, and introduced songs to help remember important topics. My goal as a math tutor is to teach comprehension and application of knowledge; I believe learning should extend beyond the classroom.

I am happy to help you move forward with your math and statistics career. Please reach out to me with any questions and contact me to learn more about my lessons.
