Experienced Data Analysis tutor specializing in R and Tableu

Maggie K.

I hold a Master of Science in Data Science from the University of Virginia and a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Old Dominion University. My academic training combines statistical modeling, epidemiology, and data visualization, with hands-on experience using R, SQL, and Tableau to analyze real-world public health and healthcare datasets. This foundation allows me to tutor not only the technical steps in R programming and Tableau, but also the reasoning behind statistical methods, study design, and interpretation of results within a public health context.

In addition to my professional work as a data analyst in healthcare and public health settings, I have experience tutoring high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. I have supported learners in one-on-one sessions and small group settings, both virtually and in person. My tutoring has included guiding MPH students through epidemiology assignments, helping undergraduates build regression models in R, and walking students step-by-step through Tableau dashboard creation using real datasets. I focus on building confidence by breaking complex topics into manageable pieces and encouraging students to explain concepts back in their own words.

My approach is practical and interactive. Rather than relying only on theory, I use real datasets, hands-on coding exercises, and applied examples from healthcare and community health to make lessons relevant. I adapt my teaching style depending on the student’s background, whether they are new to programming or refining advanced analytical skills. My goal is to help students not only complete assignments, but truly understand how to think critically about data and apply these skills independently.
