About the Tutor
Hi, I have an M.S. degree in statistics and hold a Ph.D. in Information Systems. I am a data scientist with over 15 years of experience. I am now a college professor doing research in applied data science and machine learning, with application in healthcare and education. Statistics is a super useful subject though could be very confusing sometimes. In those stat sessions, I will help you to make sense and gain a deep understanding of the essential statistical concepts and hope to inspire you to pursue data analyst/data scientist careers in the future. I also teach AoPS math, always a big fan of interesting math problem solving. Come to join me to discover and be struggled and have fun - FUNSTRATION! Other than my passions in tutoring math, statistics and data science, I am also an interdisciplinary educational researcher. I study how to use data-driven technology to improve higher-order thinking skills and how to nurture habits of mind that are instrumental for STEM learning, including perseverance, creativity, curiosity, collaboration and critical thinking.
