Hi, I’m Robby. I have been teaching and tutoring since 2013, and I currently teach at Brooklyn College. My background spans statistics, sociology, political science, and U.S. history, and I enjoy helping students build both confidence and real understanding in subjects that can initially feel intimidating. I am finishing my PhD in Sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center, where I also earned an M.S. in Quantitative Methods. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from Reed College. Over the years, I have worked with students in a wide range of settings, including college classrooms, one-on-one tutoring, and school-based support for elementary, middle, and high school and college students.
My strongest areas include statistics, research methods, data analysis, algebra, social science, sociology, political science, psychology, social studies, U.S. history, and academic writing. I also help students with statistical software such as Excel, SPSS, and Stata. Because of my teaching and research background, I am especially well suited to helping middle school, high school, college, and graduate students who need support with quantitative reasoning, interpreting results, research design, papers, or course assignments. I can help whether you are trying to keep up in class, prepare for an exam, improve your writing, or work through a challenging project step by step.
My teaching style is patient, supportive, and tailored to the individual student. I focus on building rapport, meeting students where they are, and breaking difficult material into manageable pieces without making students feel talked down to. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and practicing skills with clear guidance. My goal is not only to help you solve the problem in front of you, but also to help you become more confident and independent over time.
