About Daniel


Bio

I tutor all of high school math - including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Precalculus, Integrated Math, IB Math, and the less advanced topics. I can also serve as an AMC coach. I took AMC myself and enjoy helping students with competition math.

I am comfortable online or in person. For in-person I generally meet at a coffeeshop or library or in the student's home. Usually planning this involves a phone conversation. For online sessions, I typically meet over zoom and use the whiteboard...

I tutor all of high school math - including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Precalculus, Integrated Math, IB Math, and the less advanced topics. I can also serve as an AMC coach. I took AMC myself and enjoy helping students with competition math.

I am comfortable online or in person. For in-person I generally meet at a coffeeshop or library or in the student's home. Usually planning this involves a phone conversation. For online sessions, I typically meet over zoom and use the whiteboard feature to save and send the notes. When we use R or Excel, the screen-control feature really comes in handy. In all cases, jumping on a quick call or zoom before we schedule a paid session often helps.

The first session is risk-free: I **CANNOT** charge you if you show up and the session is not helpful. If you schedule the session and no-show or cancel on short-notice however, you will be charged.

In addition to high school level math, I have tutored a lot of theoretical calculus-based Probability and Statistics courses (Mathematical Statistics). I have also been successful with many people who need to learn to use R/RStudio and Excel for Applied Statistics, Finite Math, Discrete Math, Business Math, and optimization problems (with Excel Solver, for example). Rates for college-level topics are higher, feel free to ask.

I have a MS in Statistics and a BS in Mathematics and Statistics with a minor in Economics. I've been a Teaching Assistant for university math classes and I've been tutoring mathematics and statistics at the High School, College, and even Grad School levels for ten years. This is an outgrowth of what I have been doing for about 20 years - in all my time as a student and teacher, I have helped countless peers and students with math-related topics.

Statistics

Statistics

I tutor for basic as well as advanced calculus-based probability and statistics courses. Much of what I do is homework help and exam review, but I often simply help students understand concepts as well. I often guide students in assembling a note sheet of the most important information for an exam. I'd love to help you. Depending on what level you're on, here are my favorite concepts that I explain the most: Normal distribution, binomial distribution, hypothesis testing, p-value, confidence interval, standard error of the mean, PDF, CDF, maximum likelihood estimation, method of moments estimation, likelihood ratio,
Trigonometry

Great AP Statistics and AP Calculus BC Teacher

Daniel has been helping my daughter through AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics for a while. He's very knowledgeable and has explained how and why Limits, Sequences and Derivatives work, and shows computer simulations and examples for the Statistics material. She's doing really well in both subjects and has increased confidence!

Amazing Stats Tutor!

Daniel is an amazing tutor, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with statistics. He has a way of breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable terms, making even the most challenging topics feel manageable. His patience and clear explanations have helped me build confidence in my statistical skills, and he always goes the extra mile to ensure I truly understand the material. I can't recommend him enough!

Charles, 10 lessons with Daniel

Knowledgeable tutor with good follow up

Daniel taught my daughter AP precalculus. He was very knowledgeable and engaged for the entire session. He made sure to ask how she was understanding it, and he came up with sample problems on the spot. Then he followed up with the parents with communication and asked for feedback. Excellent.

AMC - Building confidence and learning new topics

We really appreciate Daniel as an AMC tutor! He has helped my daughter practice the topics not covered by the school system such as counting and probability and number theory. He’s tracking her progress in different types of problems and her confidence is increasing! We find Daniel to be highly engaged and enthusiastic and so far has had a very positive impact impact on my daughter’s learning.

Salman, 16 lessons with Daniel

great experience for AP Statistics

Needed some extra help with AP statistics for my 16 year olds. Great experience so far with Daniel, who is helping them really understand the material instead of relying on memorization. Just what we were looking for!

Stacy, 16 lessons with Daniel

Great help with Honors Statistics!

My son needed to review a lot of material and Daniel has been very helpful. He is helping him gain confidence in reading graphs hypothesis tests, understanding sampling distributions, using Z and T tables, Regression, and all the other topics. Thanks Daniel!

JP, 4 lessons with Daniel

Very informative tutor

Daniel helped me gain further understanding of fundamental concepts using a visual whiteboard, and providing clear and concise examples when coding. I was very fortunate to come across him, as he helped me study for an exam that I couldn't have done without his help!

Graduate-level statistics course and Monte Carlo

I have degrees in data science and business administration, yet I agreed to teach a summer graduate course in event simulations and found myself unfamiliar with the content. The course's homework included errors and inconsistencies within the homework templates, and the answer keys seemed to point to certain older assignments that didn't align to the current ones, making them unreliable for me. Daniel helped me build the right answers to multiple Monte Carlo homework problems, giving me an answer key that helped me grade homework with confidence.

Great support for ALEKS, Excel, R/RStudio/RMD, TI 84 and all topics for my online stats class!

I have to take an online stats class with no lectures and no live support during the summer. Daniel helped me figure out how to work ALEKS, install Excel through my student benefits, work a TI 84 calculator for all of the Probability, Combinatorics, Confidence Interval, Hypothesis Test, and Regression problems, and go over many practice problems so that I could do well on the exams. He basically gave lectures as we went through my practice material, acting as a personal professor. Exactly what I needed as a non-math student!

Helped me with something that multiple Stats professors could not handle!!!

I'm a math professor consulting on a problem with an applied statistics problem and I asked seven clueless stats PhDs to help me before I found Daniel. He took me through his idea and then used the particular information in our scenario to apply a statistical test for an answer to our question! Highly recommended.
