Career Experience

I started teaching statistics while I was earning my doctorate in psycholinguistics (which is a really fun way to say "how people understand language"). After I finished graduate school, I taught statistics, research methods, and psychology courses at the college level for several years. Recently, I moved with my family to a new state, so right now I'm focusing on tutoring and taking classes to learn new techniques for data analysis.

I Love Tutoring Because

working one-on-one with students can be a great experience and rewarding in a way that being in front of a hundred students in a lecture hall just isn't. Having someone go from "I am confused and frustrated" to "Finally, I get this!" in a session is so much more fun than being the teacher and really only getting to see students learn if they come by office hours needing help. Because of the subjects I tutor, sometimes students come in with really unusual questions -- going through typical sessions covering things like quadratic equations, t-tests, or the Pythagorean theorem is certainly fun, but once in a while a student will have a logic question or a number-theory topic that may not exactly fit with algebra or geometry or statistics, but is awesome to work through. I remember one student who was stuck on turning numbers from base 10 to base 7 -- it was something that I'd never been asked for help with before, and I was so fascinated by the question and the procedure for doing that conversion that after my shift ended, I played with it some more even though I would probably never need it again (and I haven't... yet :) )

Unfortunately, but fortunately, I had to connect back on, as this is a heavy course, MATH533,and I needed to ensure I was in the right direction for my first week of this heavy duty course, and I connected with a wonderful, wonderful tutor, oh my, it has to be her beautiful personality, because she was so patient, so patient, a young lady by the name of Larissa, Larissa is more than an asset to the DeVry University organization tutoring community, any student who happens upon her for tutoring is more than lucky. Larissa is professional, pleasant, patient, very courteous and very, very helpful, she is very knowledgeable, she really is, she is an really smart young lady and tutor. Tutoring fits her. Thank you DeVry for having such a wonderful and knowledgeable person working for your organization, who genuinely do not mind taking the time and patience to help students such as myself.
