À propos

Suffering from statistics (or epidemiology) anxiety!? Statistics is often taught in a way that makes it feel more confusing than it needs to be. As a result, many students experience unnecessary statistical anxiety. As a long-time professor and tutor, I have heard students say things like this many times: “If I can just pass this course, I can get my degree.” But statistics is not as hard as it may seem. A solid understanding of a few essential concepts can reduce anxiety, build confidence, and make the subject much more manageable. I have been especially successful in helping mature students gain confidence and improve their understanding. With extensive experience teaching and tutoring epidemiology and statistics, I offer patient, empathetic support tailored to each student’s needs. Sessions focus on building a solid understanding of a few essential statistical (or epidemiological) concepts. Rather than memorizing formulas, students learn how to interpret results properly and explain what their calculations mean. Because there is no substitute for doing problems, each session emphasizes guided practice, understanding, and interpretation. I have had particular success tutoring mature students.

Avis

very helpful

I was struggling in my statistics course but Eric knew what he was doing and helped me understand each concept much better and helped me learn how to work through the homework questions i had. it was a night and day difference at the end of our sessions and my grade greatly increased in the course. I would highly recommend.

Very Helpful & Knowledgeable

Taking into consideration how difficult it was to find someone to assist me with understanding a very specific course (research methods in epidemiology) I am grateful I found Eric. He was patient with me as I have a slow processing speed and often tend mix things up easily. As well, patient when it came to reviewing the content I sent prior to our sessions and was prepared during our sessions. He was able to reassure me when I was on the right track with my learning as well as was very knowledgeable and was able to give multiple different good real world example to enhance my understanding of the concepts. He also was able to find other resources for the that were helpful and aligned with my learning style. Overall, before Eric I was completely lost with the content and he was able to assist me in my learning, improve my understanding and confidence.
