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 :) )

Rudest tutor I have had her twice now and each time she does not help what so ever and just makes me more confused by asking questions that are not relevant to the problem she is terrible rude and not qualified I have gotten more incorrect answers on my homework using her tutoring service than just doing it on my own

no audio was used in this session. i didn't know that it was an option. the tutor and i typed back and forth, but i feel it was inefficient and wasted a lot of both of our time. would have been extremely helpful if i could hear or even see my tutor. audio and body communication could have made this session much better. was not an effective use of technology or an effective way to tutor. that being said, i believe i got some of my questions answered, but could have learned a lot more in 45 minutes if we could have spoken and understood eachother more effectively.

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.
