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 :) )

It was very confusing and I didn't get my question answered because we ran out of time. It made a little more sense than before but we still didn't come to the correct answer. I wish Princeton Review allowed unlimited time sessions because that's been the case with some of my other session, being that we ran out of time.

I was not able to video chat, which made it more difficult and frustrating in conveying the problem I was having with this assignment. She did the best she could under the circumstances but I think it would have been easier and more personable to video chat.

I really enjoyed her help after I switched tutors! She clearly knew what she was doing and on top of that she was very supportive and always asked if I understood what was going on along the way which I'm really grateful for as I tend not to ask questions unless consistly promoted which was great!
