Hi, I'm Courtney! I graduated from Louisiana State University with two graduate degrees - a Ph.D in Sociology and a M.A. in Sociology. I have graduate minors in African and African American Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. I also have a Master of Public Health degree and two undergraduate degrees in Biological Sciences and Interpersonal Communication Studies.

I welcome curiosity and prioritize time for student's questions. I typically introduce new material with multiple examples and then guide students through various practice problems. Many students have found this approach effective.

Since some students can feel intimidated by coding and statistical analysis, I frame quantitative problems as accessible and fun! My aim in tutoring is to: (1) foster intellectual curiosity; and (2) provide opportunities for students to critically engage with their social world. I look forward to working together to achieve your academic goals and to strengthen your critical, reflexive skills.

Sociology

Sociology

I graduated from Louisiana State University with a two graduate degrees - a Ph.D in Sociology and a M.A. in Sociology. Bringing together theoretical frameworks, such as intersectionality, critical race theory, Black feminist thought, the stress process framework, and the weathering hypothesis, I use a multi-method approach to answer my research questions. I have conducted qualitative in-depth interviews, used content analysis, performed longitudinal analysis, and analyzed complex, population-based survey data, such as the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and National Vital Statistics System.

Intelligent and capable

Courtney has been able to take difficult concepts and share how they are applicable to real life situations. She makes it easier to understand statistics than my professor.

A Remarkable Tutor and Mentor

It is difficult to put into words just how much Courtney has meant to our family. What began as Statistics tutoring for our 18-year-old daughter quickly became so much more. Courtney is exceptionally knowledgeable and talented as a tutor, but what truly sets her apart is the kind of person she is. She is patient, encouraging, caring, flexible, and always willing to go the extra mile to help her students succeed. Statistics was a challenging course for our daughter, and Courtney had a remarkable ability to explain difficult concepts in a way that finally made them click. More importantly, she never made our daughter feel discouraged or overwhelmed. She consistently built her confidence, celebrated her progress, and helped her believe in herself. Over time, Courtney became more than just a tutor. She became a trusted mentor and an important source of encouragement for our daughter during a challenging class. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our daughter’s success and well-being, not just her grades. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is working with someone who is both highly capable and genuinely invested in helping them succeed. Courtney was always prompt, dependable, and accommodating, but what we will remember most is her kindness and dedication. She invested herself in our daughter’s success in a way that went far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect from a tutor. We are incredibly grateful for everything Courtney has done. Thanks to her guidance, our daughter not only succeeded in Statistics but gained confidence that will benefit her far beyond a single course. If you are considering hiring Courtney, don’t hesitate. She is an outstanding tutor and a truly exceptional person.

Very helpful and patient

This is my second lesson with Courtney and she has been helpful and patient. I struggle with stats and she has helped me feel less anxious and stressed with my upcoming sociology statistics exam. Thank you so much Courtney for helping me feel more comfortable with stats for sociology.
