About John


Bio

My students have been from all schools (on-line or live) and all degree programs. They have been doing all kinds of degrees; business, nursing, psychology or engineering. I have students who are working full time and need help with using MS Excel to do their work. Don't be afraid to look for help - it will be worth it in the short and the long run. There is never such a thing as a dumb question. Please reach out and see if I can help you meet your educational goals.

My students have been from all schools (on-line or live) and all degree programs. They have been doing all kinds of degrees; business, nursing, psychology or engineering. I have students who are working full time and need help with using MS Excel to do their work. Don't be afraid to look for help - it will be worth it in the short and the long run. There is never such a thing as a dumb question. Please reach out and see if I can help you meet your educational goals.

I have many years of extensive education and application in the business world. I would like to bring that help and insight to you and help you find out what you really need in the "real world." Book knowledge is great, but knowing how to apply it is the most important thing.

I love to have fun when I'm teaching or training. I currently train corporate employees in process improvement. My technical background as well as my MBA allows me to bring plenty of insight into how to get things done. Math (using Excel) and statistics (using Minitab or SPSS) are big part of doing this. I like to work with people who use SPSS, Minitab or JMP. I can help you with Excel as well. I look forward to hearing from you if you need help with your quantitative methods classes. I also help students who are studying biostatistics.

I have a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from McGill University and an MBA from University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

When I'm not improving processes, I love to play and referee soccer. I also like reading and writing.

Approved Subjects

Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I have an extensive background in statistical analysis due to my training as a Master's in Chemical Engineering. The application of statistics to living systems is a specific case with certain novel aspects. Because living systems are unique in almost each case, statistics take on a more important role than in the manufacturing industry, for example. The use of hypothesis testing and odds ratios in medicine is extremely important in research and drug development. I have worked in the performance improvement and quality area known as Six Sigma for the past 8 years. In this field we apply statistics to demonstrate that we have made an improvement to an existing process that is statistically significant. In biostats we are also trying to make the same determinations from the data we collect about our patients. I am adept at helping the student understand concepts that are not commonly addressed in other subjects.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

As a multi-graduate of higher education, I've needed to speak English in all of my schooling. More importantly as an avid reader, I have developed a vocabulary that is really extensive and will help you pass the ESL.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have 25 years of experience in presenting to upper management. My training as a chemical engineer included training in preparation and presentation of results. As a systems engineer I had to present designs of power plant simulation systems. More recently I have been a trainer for Lean Six Sigma in two different organizations. I received my certification as a Technical Trainer in 2009 - CompTIA CTT+. This training will allow me to present to students the key aspects of preparing a presentation and delivering it to a single person or a group of people.
SPSS

SPSS

I'm a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt. In Six Sigma we use statistics to conduct all my data analysis. I have tutored many people in the use of SPSS. I am also proficient in Minitab.
Statistics

Statistics

As an engineer, I have learned to use mathematics and statistics to develop solutions to problems. I worked in research for many years and now I work in process improvement. In each of these activities we use statistics to conduct data analysis. In process improvement, I am a Master Black Belt, the highest qualification for a Six Sigma practitioner. I have tutored many people in the use of statistical tools for analysis like SPSS.
Writing

Writing

I have spent most of my professional career presenting my work and ideas to customers, in writing and in presentations. I have learned to write papers on many different subjects with good grammar and well formed ideas. I can write papers in APA style and with correct citations. Let me know if I can help you.

Patient, Thorough, and Transparent! John Gets an A+ From Me!

I have to admit that I am not the best at math. I panic easily and I haven't been in school for the past 11 years. I am now taking graduate-level statistics, and when I registered with Wyzant I was extremely skeptical about the quality of the services provided by the tutors. I was also concerned about John's capacity to have the flexibility to apply his knowledge to what I'm learning in class. Boy was I wrong! John is EXTREMELY reliable. He responds quickly when I need help. He also helps keep me calm and focused when I begin to panic whenever I don't understand something. I can see that I'm slowly but surely gaining small increments of confidence with math and the course material the more I work with him. Things begin to make sense, and I am very happy to report that I am doing very well in my class! My investment in Wyzant and with John to help me with statistics was the best decision that I have made thus far in my graduate school career. If you need help, John is the person you should go to if you are serious about your education.

My meeting went well with John

My meeting went well with John. We went over what I will need tutoring on for my degree program. We reviewed information for Research as well as STAT.

Sandra , 1 lesson with John

John is an extremely knowledgable and patient teacher. Extremely gifted in decision sciences and statistical applications.

John not only taught me the concepts behind some very complicated statistical formulas, but also how to apply those concepts through the use modern technology. I could not have had a better experience with John, and highly recommend him for anyone who needs an extra edge when faced with difficult subject material.

Anthony, 4 lessons with John

Stats lifesaver!

I'm instantly relieved after my session with John! He was great at explaining all concepts in simple understandable terms. He also gave me the bigger picture which really helped to light up the material. Can't wait for my next session to help me keep moving through challenging problems.
