"I have a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where I researched statistical probability models of medical diagnosis. After that I worked for a small research and development company, leading projects focused on preventive health and automated cancer diagnosis. I've always felt comfortable with math and enjoy uncovering the ways that formulas and data interact. I especially appreciate statistics and biostatistics, which can give us a glimpse into how nature works under the hood and can advise us on the best steps to take to protect our health and improve our lives.

Before coming to Wyzant I taught in night school and have tutored statistics and math from algebra through calculus locally for several years. I'm not a big fan of rote, cookie-cutter, "same-for-everyone," approaches and see the challenge of tutoring as being flexible and patient enough to find the best analogy to explain to each student how and why particular formulas or equations work best for solving particular types of problems. When tutoring math and statistics, I hope that I can help others see the same underlying truth and beauty that I do. Thanks for reading." less...
