Most of my students have been high schoolers and college students in precalculus or calculus. I also tutor most of the first- and second-year math courses in college. I may be able to help with certain problems from more advanced math courses. More recently, I have tutored an increasing number of students in statistics, especially introductory college statistics and mathematical statistics. I have also worked with elementary and middle school students, especially in algebra and geometry. I often work well with students who struggle with their focus and organization, or students diagnosed with ADD. I am a patient person and I want to help. It always makes me sad when students say they never want to study math again. I hope I can help can change that. ## Economics I have spent a lot of my free time trying to understand the economy. Introductory economics courses don't always help with that, but many students have to take them anyway. I try to connect the concepts in these classes to real-world applications, to make the material more concrete. In addition to this, internalizing the relatively simple logic of the basic models through repeated practice is essentially fail-proof. I have also tutored many economics classes, including international economics, microeconomic theory, migration economics, and econometrics. There is a good chance I can help you in your economics course. ## Statistical analysis and SAS I was a SAS programmer for about ten years and have professional experience with statistical modeling. Many of my recent clients have been professionals—at banks, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, insurance companies—who need help writing code and performing statistical analyses. I have also helped many college seniors and graduate students who are taking a statistical methods class that requires SAS. I enjoy getting involved in the student's problem and giving them a new way to look at their issue. I can help you prepare for SAS certification exams as well. ## Writing This is my favorite subject, but sadly there is not as much demand for writing as for technical fields. Even so, I have worked with several students on writing over an extended period. Most people want to express themselves on the subjects they're passionate about, so I use this to my advantage. I integrate lessons on grammar, style, and organization into writing projects student actually want to complete. For example, I've had students write articles about baseball games, blog posts on video games, analyses of song lyrics, and so on. If it's something you want to do, you hardly notice you're learning. <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Sunfish transformation.png" alt="Transform to sunfish" style="width: 400px;"> </div>
