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 :) )

I have been redirected FAR too many times bearing in mind that I am paying per minute. The last tutor was great, but the people who spend 10 minutes to read your prompt only to say that they don't understand and dump you back in the queue is too high.

My tutor was very patience and she showed me how I should have done the assignment by interpreting what it should be. I was misinterpreting what I was supposed to do. I just did not understand the assignment and she helped me to get a better understanding. I did the work and sent to her and she let me know if I was heading in the right directions. Then she asked do I see what it is I was supposed to be showing and if I had any questions about how I went about it getting the correct information. I would say she is a very good tutor.
