"Glad to meet you! I'm Kristopher, a first-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at NC State University. I've informally tutored since I was in high school, but I officially started tutoring in 2022. I primarily do one-on-one lessons and drop-in tutoring. For those who like numbers, I earned a 1330 and 32 on the SAT and ACT, respectively, and attained a 3.72 GPA as an undergraduate studying Statistics and Industrial Engineering.

I specialize in mathematics and data science, including but not limited to Calculus (single and multivariable) and Statistics (including probability) as well as the coding languages of R, SAS, and Python. My goal is to turn students into independent learners, and my tutoring approach is very procedural, though I am flexible and always willing to adapt to students' needs. I first establish a baseline level of understanding with the student before teaching new content. Next, I try to gain some insight into relevant prior experience about a subject. I use this information to help decide where to start and how to pace lessons. From there, I work with the tutee to establish SMART Goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Oriented) for our time together. I use SMART Goals because they replace vague statements such as "I want to get an A," or "I need to pass my final exam," by breaking goals down into actionable, achievable steps.

I stand out from other college-age and college-level tutors because I come from a background of education. Before focusing on Statistics, I was studying Math Education, so I have extensive knowledge on current education pedagogy and practices. Furthermore, math and coding are two of the most challenging subjects for learners, and I aim to assist and uplift my students so they have both the confidence and skills necessary to succeed. Feel free to reach out if you have further questions, or if you want to schedule a lesson!" less...
