Hi! My name is Ryan and I am particularly driven by helping students, in the statistics/mathematics and Earth-related sciences, come to their own discoveries and conceptual revelations. Not only is it rewarding for me to see that I have helped a student understand a concept or how to solve a problem, it is much more satisfying bearing witness to a students hard work and devotion manifest in empowering self-realisations that they are indeed able to succeed in the face of doubt and adversity....
Hi! My name is Ryan and I am particularly driven by helping students, in the statistics/mathematics and Earth-related sciences, come to their own discoveries and conceptual revelations. Not only is it rewarding for me to see that I have helped a student understand a concept or how to solve a problem, it is much more satisfying bearing witness to a students hard work and devotion manifest in empowering self-realisations that they are indeed able to succeed in the face of doubt and adversity. Everyone should have an unimpeded pathway to succeed at their own scholarly pursuits be it for their own personal curiosities or for their academic coursework.
I have about 5 years of tutoring experience. While completing my B.S. in Meteorology at California University of Pennsylvania I served as a tutor (~2yrs) in basic maths and Earth Sciences. More recently, and having since completed a M.A. in Geography at Kent State University and teaching assistantships, I've taken my talents in tutoring mostly Statistics, Algebra 1, Earth and Environmental Sciences, as well as Excel (focusing on its uses in statistics) and coding in Matlab to online platforms such as tutor(.)com and TutorMe (~3yrs) where I was able to guide many grateful students to their success, spanning early elementary up to the Master's level. While I am most comfortable offering guidance to students at the undergraduate level, I am happy to continue expanding my skills and strengthening my approaches in catering to others too!
To have productive sessions and a positive effect on students requires that the tutor be open-minded, observant, flexible, and ready in the moment to adapt to best support the needs of the student; all of which I pridefully embody. I do expect students to be honest, actively engaged in material, and put forth effort consistent with their needs, abilities, and requests; I do adhere to academic integrity policies and instill it's importance unto others. Send me a message! How may I help you?
