It always brightens my day to know I have helped a student feel more passionate or intellectually curious about a topic. I help each student learn based on their unique learning style that suits them best. I love helping students progress throughout a semester who then reconnect or reach out outside of class.

I've tutored hundreds of statistic students over the past 12 years. I enjoy tailoring the experience to the individual student's interests so lessons learned are more memorable and applicable for future use. I take great pride in helping students have "aha" moments, and I always look for creative ways to engage students while leveraging tutoring best practices.

University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) MBA in Management, Finance, and Entrepreneurship -
I have a passion for empowering students to be the best they can be, especially when it comes to statistics. My students have successfully improved their grades from B level to A. I pinpoint a given student's areas of trouble, empowering them by providing additional instructions in each area and practice problems to help them better solve and understand each problem.

5 critical skills for students learning stats
Gooroo tutors focus on honing these essential skills in their students:
- The ability to manipulate/organize/work with data on computers - whether it is with Excel, R, SAS, or Stata, to be a statistician you have to be able to work with data.
- A knowledge of exploratory data analysis - how to make plots, how to discover patterns with visualizations, how to explore assumptions
- Scientific/contextual knowledge - at least enough to be able to abstract and formulate problems. This is what separates statisticians from mathematicians.
- Skills to distinguish true from false patterns - whether with p-values, posterior probabilities, meaningful summary statistics, cross-validation or any other means.
- The ability to communicate results to people without a mathematics background - a key component of being a statistician is knowing how to explain math/plots/analyses.

What parents and students say

Gooroo is such a blessing, since I cannot usually help my son with math. The tutor identified the issues my son was having and areas he was struggling in during his first session. I listened in a little and I’m so happy with how our Gooroo interacts with him!
