I graduated from Mount Sinai Graduate School with an MS in Clinical Research. I was taught complex statistical concepts & adopted the general philosophy behind probability/evidence-based mathematics in biological research. My TA compartmentalizes & simplifies these complex topics into easily digestible parts. Learning Biostatistics became not only efficient but fun, instead of frustrating. Empowered, I was inspired to share that same feeling of hope I was granted. I became a TA in the same course; preparing notes, leading lab lectures & helping students through the same challenges that I overcame. I spent additional time with struggling students, even beyond office hours. It brought me great joy when students would leave with a greater understanding of the material, challenging themselves beyond what they would have otherwise. I continued to tutor both Mount Sinai Students & Doctors Freelance, while I worked on my research project!

I have enjoyed tutoring graduate-level biostatistics and research design for 4 years. I teach 1-on-1 & hands-on, working through problems with students, & explain any conceptual questions & the philosophy/ logic behind many of the applied concepts. This gives meaning to applied formulas & numbers that go beyond simply assisting with math calculations. I also taught SAS, which transcribes biostatistical calculations into SAS code. I also teach…

Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I taught at Mount Sinai Graduate School as a Teaching assistant for Biostatistics and Linear Models Courses for one year. During those courses, I was responsible for teaching during lab lectures and lab assignments. I also held office hours, where I gave constructive feedback to students regarding their assignments and progress. For students who needed more individualized help, I often stayed beyond office hours to provide that assistance! I have also led midterm and final exam reviews, as well as guide and advise students on projects. This was all while I simultaneously worked on a Mendelian Randomization Research Project, utilizing the same Statistical Principles that I taught to fit the framework of a complex statistical model. Following that, I continued to tutor Mount Sinai Graduate students and medical doctors in a freelance capacity, meeting with them once a week to help them understand statistical concepts and assist with completing assignments. MS in Clinical Research.
SAS

SAS

I taught at Mount Sinai Graduate School as a teaching assistant for Biostatistics and Linear Models Courses for one year. I was also tasked with teaching introductory SAS coding, as the coding software and its applications to statistics were intertwined. This involved teaching the basic syntax, file conversions, navigation and troubleshooting of SAS coding, all of which I have been trained to do via the Computational Tools in Research Course at Mount Sinai. As the course was many students' first introduction to computer programming of any sort, I was very patient and comprehensive in my explanations of the various procedures and data creation techniques, as well as explaining their relevance to the statistical tasks at hand. During office hours, I did not simply give people workable code, I helped explain the theory and organization behind each line, what each line is achieving and how it is working together with the others. My students thus were able to become self-reliant, capable of producing more advanced code on their own! After my teaching assistant duties, I continued to tutor in SAS coding in conjunction with Biostatistics tutoring as a freelance tutor, and have helped Mount Sinai graduates and Doctors persevere in their quest to become competent researchers!
STATA

STATA

During those courses, I was responsible for teaching during lab lectures and lab assignments. I also held office hours, where I gave constructive feedback to students regarding their assignments and progress. For students who needed more individualized help, I often stayed beyond office hours to provide that assistance! I have also led midterm and final exam reviews, as well as guided and advised students on projects. Since that, I have privately tutored over 20+ students. This included expanded courses like Suny Downstate courses BMEN 250: Biostatistics & Data Visualization and Quantitative Research Methods for Public Health Practice (Suny Downstate Med School), which used a variety of Statistical software, including SAS and STATA. In these courses we used SAS and Stata to perform a wide variety of statistical analysis including T tests, Chi-Square Tests, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, linear and logistic regressions. I also currently tutor a student in Epidemiology 5205, using STATA software where I teach basic syntax, file conversions, menu navigation and troubleshooting. My students thus were able to become self-reliant, capable of producing more advanced code on their own! I have enjoyed tutoring graduate-level biostatistics and research design for 4 years.

Brittany, 2 lessons with Brian

Very knowledgeable and patient

Brian review Stata step by step with me and we didn’t proceed until I had a better understanding. He was so very helpful and I completely recommend utilizing his services.
