As a tutor specializing in statistics, SPSS, and psychology, I bring a robust educational foundation and a passion for making complex concepts understandable. My academic journey includes a B.S. in Psychology (minor: Probability and Statistics) from John Carroll University, M.S. in Psychology and a Ph.D. in Behavioral Science (minor: Research Measurement, and Design) from the University of North Texas, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship from Brown University.
My formal teaching experience – reflected in a 5.0 rating on RateMyProfessor – and over a decade of applied experience as a Research Scientist has equipped me with a deep understanding of statistical principles, research methodologies, and the practical application of software like SPSS, R, and Mplus. I am adept at explaining a wide range of statistical topics, from foundational concepts like descriptive statistics, regression, and ANOVA to more advanced techniques such as non-parametric methods, structural equations modeling, and latent profile analysis. My background in psychology provides a unique perspective when working with students in that field, allowing me to connect statistical concepts to psychological research and data analysis meaningfully.
My teaching and tutoring experience spans several years across diverse learning environments, from high school to university-level advanced research projects. I offer tailored one-on-one sessions catering to individual learning styles and needs, as well as facilitating collaborative small group sessions. My tutoring philosophy centers on creating a supportive space where asking questions and active engagement are encouraged. I utilize clear explanations, real-world examples, and step-by-step guidance in problem-solving, especially within SPSS. I aim to empower students to understand the logic behind statistical methods, fostering their confidence and long-term academic success.
