Because probability is included in several curricula, I have tutored students in it the past several years. I took a probability class as part of my master's in teaching degree, and because I've been working with it most recently, I can help students get the basics of it mastered so they are ready for more upper-level problems. I started my work out of college as a middle school teacher. Then, I worked in business world to learn how knowledge is used outside the academic environment. It helped prepare me to teach students what lies ahead after school. Wanting to learn new cultures and cont [more]

It is common for my students to laugh during study sessions. I was voted the most inspirational student by my senior year band class. For every semester that I ... [more]
I have detailed knowledge of all the fundamental aspects of probability. These include, but are not limited to: addition rules, multiplication rules, independence, tree diagrams, disjoint events (mutually exclusive), conditional probability, and the application of Bayes rule. Two of my specialties at the college where I tutor are probability and statistics. Many students of nursing and behaviorial science come to the tutoring center for help with these subjects. Hi, my name is David. I have worked as a math tutor for several years. In fact, I began my tutoring career shortly after I graduated [more]

Numerous successes in school and many years of work experiences as a supervisor prepared me to do well as a tutor. At my high school, two out of three years, I ranked in the top three on the national math test. While in college I did extremely well in subjects in which attention to detail was critical. More than one instructor requested my help in proofreading and editing mathematics or computer science textbooks. In the workplace, I was promoted to Service Manager and given many workers t...

I studied probability in college, applying it to my electrical engineering studies and work as I advanced through my career. In the past nine years, I've also taken four master's classes using probability and used special software to analyze large amounts of data. It all starts with the basics that get you through the SAT and AP classes. Whether it's on the high school, college or master's level, I can help you understand the concepts you need. As an engineering program manager for 15 years, and with an MIT degree to boot, I know my fair share of math and science, having taken Calculus, Physic [more]

As a former high school and middle school Math Teacher from Massachusetts, I know that one of the biggest hurdles to learning math is not just learning about the rules and properties of numbers, functions and geometric shapes but also confidence to solve the problems presented to the student. Many of my former students were blocked by their lack of confidence to be able to find and figure out the answers themselves and after working with them to be patient and apply the principles they learne...
