Approved Subjects

Macintosh

Macintosh

In past jobs, ranging from academic research to public libraries, I have been responsible for maintaining, upgrading, troubleshooting and providing user assistance for Apple computers. I am familiar with the system architecture and file organization of Mac OS X and FreeBSD, the UNIX variant upon which it is based. I also familiar with Mac hardware configurations on Macs, iMacs and Powerbooks, including storage, memory, expansion slots and other interfaces. This experience and expertise would allow me to assist students with Macintosh issues at any level and virtually any context.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I received my PhD from the University of Southern California in neurobiology as a neuroanatomist. I have over 20 peer-reviewed publications, and I have received funding for several NIH grants. I have mentored undergraduate, graduate and medical students, and I have hundreds of hours experience tutoring neuroscience at all levels.
Psychology

Psychology

I have a BS in Psychology (which also required a research methods class) and then went on to get my PhD in Neuroscience. I have over a decade of experience in academic research, have received funding for major grants that I have written and I published more than 20 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
Social Work

Social Work

Social work is fundamentally psychology and sociology applied at the individual, community and societal levels from a social justice perspective. With my background in psychology, I have gained extensive experience diagnosing mental health disorders, along with a working knowledge of psychotherapy and the therapeutic process. Through my work with students in education and social work degree programs, I have practical experience with policy analysis, advocacy and activism. Collectively, this has allowed me to mentor several social work degree candidates throughout their program, and provide course support for numerous others. This is work I enjoy immensely, and work which I look forward to continuing in the future.
SQL

SQL

In addition to a PhD in Neuroscience, I have a MS in Information Science, which included formal training in database design, data modeling and SQL. I have built and configured several enterprise-class databases using MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL, including graphical interfaces for database management, a suite of SQL query templates and a set of scripts for automating common tasks, like data insertion and database backups.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Rick really took the time to understand the information that I was struggling with, and he explained it in a way that helped me internalize it and apply it to other areas of learning. He is very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and encouraging. I highly recommend him and plan to use his tutoring services in the future should I need them.

Carrie, 1 lesson with Rick

Knowledgeable and prepared

Rick did an amazing job helping me with my dissertation. He came prepared with additional references for me. He read my work beforehand and had a lot to tell me through the whole hour. Where wasn't a dull moment. Definitely will use again!

Very understanding!

Rick brought up several software that could be used to better prepare for my assignments, as to not lose track of things. He also helped me grasp key topics that I wasn't too sure of, and we'll be beginning our next session soon. Highly recommend!

Amazing tutor !

Rick worked with my son for a full school year on a research project for his AP research class . He is incredibly intelligent and diligent person and took my sons project as if it was his own. He put so much time in working with my son during lessons and also took time outside of the tutoring sessions for research and planning for the next lesson . My son said he learned so much more from Rick then from his teacher for this class in school . He makes it easy to schedule appointments and always friendly and make kids excited about the subject he is teaching ! I am so impressed with him and highly recommend his tutoring services !
