"Hi, I’m Shane — a Ph.D. student in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience at Virginia Tech, where I also teach undergraduate psychology. I specialize in making complex material approachable and meaningful, whether it’s neuroscience, statistics, writing, or high school algebra.

I offer tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including:

Psychology & neuroscience

Academic writing & essay development

Research design & statistical analysis (SPSS, R, Python)

Middle & high school math and science

History and social studies

My teaching style is focused, flexible, and framework-based. I help students understand why something works, not just how. Whether you're writing a paper, preparing for exams, catching up on core subjects, or working on an independent research project, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build real confidence in the material.

I’ve worked with students from early education through graduate school, and I especially enjoy helping learners connect big ideas to everyday understanding.

If you're looking for a tutor who brings both academic expertise and down-to-earth explanations, I’d love to work with you." less...
