About Larissa R.

Subjects

Algebra, Algebra 2, Geometry, Math, Mid-Level Math, Pre-Calculus, Statistics

Education

Bachelors in Cognitive Science from Wellesley College

Masters in Psychology, General from SUNY at Binghamton

PHD in Psychology, General from SUNY at Binghamton

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 might of had some sort of billing issue. I thought I had 2 hours available but I guess not. I'll have to look into it but it felt like I was being kicked off after my 30 minutes trial but then unable to use the 2 hours. If I didn't successfully obtain the 2 hours then that is fine but if I did have the 2 hours but was still kicked out then I am highly dissatisfied with the service. I'm sure I made some mistake though...

Same qst with a different tutor and I ended my session. This tutor was more patient and allowed me time to understand the explanations. Also, by being patient and allowing me to work out the problem we were able to figure out why I wasn't understanding the problem. This was affecting my computation. Great job 2nd tutor!

Need to get tutors who help with Discrete Math, because that's what I'm taking and it would be nice to get help from tutors who know what I need help with (I'm not saying that the math tutors on here don't know what I'm talking about, but it would be nice to have a separate tutor).

I would not say that the session did not meet my needs,but the tutor didn't give me the impression that she was really interested in helping me! she asked a question about something that she had said when we first started and I was trying to remember what it was that she had said and she said if I couldn't or didn't answer, she would have to close in order to help somebody else! I would have thought she would repeat what she had said rather than just end the session! I also know there is more to this survey I would answer yes, but the page won't go up so I can answer the questions.
