Wonderful tutor!! Worth every penny.

Want to UNDERSTAND those stats tests in your class or for your project? Want help with your dissertation or thesis? If you are stuck learning SPSS or SAS, I can help.
I find research fun and make stats simple, working mostly with grad students who seek me out for thesis research +/or their classes. I apologize for it, but stats classes often are not taught well in understandable language. Social work or psychology students are common, but of course I am open to whatever kind of program you...

Wonderful tutor!! Worth every penny.
I am a graduate student with a limited income who needed help with my Probability and Statistics class. Because of this, I initially sought the help of tutors who charged less. What I found was that these people usually either didn't know their subject or didn't know how to teach, in some cases both. They also often lacked those qualities that characterize true professionals. There is truth to the saying, "You get what you pay for." Karen charges a little more than some other tutors on WyzAnt (but also a lot less than tutors who charge hundreds of dollars an hour.) But let me assure you that she is worth every penny. You won't regret it. (Remember, you can save a lot if you buy a package in advance.) She has all the qualities that make up a really good tutor: 1) Experience- she has been doing this a long time (she is not just an undergrad looking for some beer money) 2) A thorough knowledge of her subject 3) She is patient and kind 4) She is positive and encouraging 5) She knows how to teach (most people forget that teaching is a skill and a talent. Some people haven't been trained or don't have the aptitude for it.) 6) She is a professional who arrives on time and comes prepared 7) She really cares about her students and gets excited when they make progress or achieve their goals. (I was pleasantly surprised to receive an encouraging text from her before my final and another text after to find out how I did!!! Most tutors wouldn't go the extra mile like that.) Karen has the special and rare ability to tailor her teaching to each individual student. Students are different. They require different approaches, as unique as they are. Karen knows how to adapt to this and present the material to each student in the way they need. Because I work in and study Educational Psychology, I am familiar with a lot of studies on the effectiveness of various teaching methods. Research clearly shows the great gains a student receives in comprehension and mastery of material from tutoring, as opposed to traditional classroom instruction. But research also shows huge differences between gains that students get from amateur tutors vs. professionals. Amateur tutors sometimes don't even bring about the gains that students get in the classroom. But a professional tutor brings about gains that can be 1 or 2 standard deviations above the classroom norm. The conclusion: a professional tutor is different from an amateur and worth every penny. Because of Karen, I went from a sense of despair over my poor performance in the Stats class to literally acing weekly quizzes (which I had once failed) and doing great on the final. I only wish I had gone to her earlier. My early quiz and midterm grades would have been so much higher!!!

Very knowledgable and thorough tutor!
Karen was very kind, helpful, and encouraging! She helped me work through my data analysis for my research project step-by-step and explained things in a very applied way that made it easy for me to understand each step of the process as it applied to my project! She is very knowledgable about SPSS and explains the program in a way that is easy to grasp.

Having the best Tutor!!!
I consider teaching a very challenging exercise, in my personal experience statistics has became one of the most challenging topics on my field. Having a good mentor makes a difference!! Meeting Karen has been a an amazing academic experience. Working hand by hand with Karen through my Thesis, has made me realize how we can impact a student's life. She embodies a devoted, hard worker, and willing professor that just wants to teach and enjoys teaching. I felt she took my project as hers, always leading but also listening and complementing my thoughts with her broad experience and knowledge. I just have to say thank you !

Helped me pass my Data Mining exam!!!
I got help from Karen the day before my Data Mining exam. I have had several SAS tutors but Karen was definitely the BEST and helped me to understand the concepts and work through problems I didn't know how to tackle. I felt so much better after a lesson with her. I ended up with a B for the course, which I was SO HAPPY about. Before my lesson with Karen, I really thought I would fail my exam and I probably would have without her help. She is a very kind person and can explain complex concepts in a simple way. I really couldn't be more grateful. I fully recommend her as a tutor.

Karen helped me get an A in my statistics/SPSS graduate level class. I was about C+ level when I started lessons with her, and she quickly got me up to speed for my final, which I was able to ace. I am very grateful for her services!

GURU OF STATISTICS.
Karen B. is really a GURU OF STATISTICS. I meet with Karen in a couple of classes and randomly asked the questions. But she gave clear answers without any hesitation. First of all, she makes the concepts clear by giving easy examples, and only then she proceeds with the problem that the student has. I am thinking to take some more classes with her in the near future.

Amazing Teacher
Karen is an amazing SPSS/Statistics teacher. I wish she would have been my teacher during my PhD program. She's been instrumental in helping me understand how to running statistical analyses for my dissertation. From my work with her, she can help anyone at any level in any field!
