Probability distributions, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals — statistics asks you to think about uncertainty in a structured way, which trips up students used to math having one right answer. Roger scored a 5 on the AP Statistics exam and continues using statistical reasoning in his economics coursework at Duke. He breaks down the logic behind each test so students understand when and why to apply it, not just how to calculate.

Probability distributions, hypothesis testing, regression — statistics is ultimately about making defensible claims from messy data. Jordan ran exactly this kind of analysis throughout his bioengineering PhD at Georgia Tech, designing experiments and interpreting results where statistical rigor wasn't optional. He walks through each concept with the practical clarity of someone who's relied on it professionally.

Studying quantitative policy analysis at Duke, Matt applies statistical reasoning — hypothesis testing, regression, probability distributions — to real-world datasets every week. That daily practice means he teaches statistics as a way of thinking about evidence, not just a collection of calculator steps. He's especially effective at demystifying concepts like p-values and confidence intervals that textbooks often explain poorly.

Running statistical analyses on neural data throughout her PhD and postdoc at Duke, Kristina treats statistics as a practical toolkit, not a collection of formulas. She walks through probability distributions, hypothesis testing, and regression with an emphasis on understanding what each test actually tells you — and when it can mislead you.

Between his economics degree from Emory and his MBA work at Duke, Timothy has spent years immersed in statistical analysis — probability distributions, hypothesis testing, regression, and data interpretation. He teaches statistics as a decision-making tool, showing students how to read what the numbers actually say rather than just grinding through formulas. His 5.0 rating speaks to how clearly he makes that translation.

Pre-med coursework at Duke — with minors in both biology and chemistry — means Rayhan has designed experiments, interpreted lab data, and run the kind of quantitative analyses where understanding p-values and confidence intervals actually matters. He teaches statistics concepts like hypothesis testing and variability by grounding them in scientific contexts, so the numbers connect to something tangible. Rated 5.0 by students.

The jump from computing a standard deviation to actually interpreting what it means about a dataset is where most statistics students stall out. Kathleen tackles probability distributions, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals by tying every formula to the question it answers. Her parallel experience in biostatistics and college-level stats means she can adapt explanations whether the course leans theoretical or applied.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
