Bio

I have a PhD from the University of South Florida in Biostatistics. I have found that students learn best when the teacher approaches the lesson like a conversation rather than a lecture. This helps the student be engaged in the material and allows the instructor to better determine how well a student knows the material.

I have a PhD from the University of South Florida in Biostatistics. I have found that students learn best when the teacher approaches the lesson like a conversation rather than a lecture. This helps the student be engaged in the material and allows the instructor to better determine how well a student knows the material. I do my best to be able to explain or display every topic in at least three different ways, because it ensures I now the material extremely well and when a student is struggling with a subject it helps to hear it described differently. I am available for both in person sessions as well as online sessions. Regardless if the session are in person or online, my methods of teaching will adapt to the student's needs.
While working towards my degree I have practical experience preforming statistical analysis as part of a research team at USF. Currently I am an instructor at USF teaching statistics to undergraduate and graduate students. I am able to teach Excel, SAS, SQL, and R, as I have practical experience using them to conduct statistical analysis while working on research projects during my Master's and PhD programs. I enjoy teaching because I am passionate about the subjects that I teach. Teaching students these subjects is the same as me having a conversation about a topic for fun.

Not everyone one learns the same way, so I adapt my teaching styles to each student's specific needs. I can do this during in person session or online. I will do my best to help you understand the material and in I can make our sessions as entertaining as possible by being dynamic in my approaches.

It should be noted that I allow for students to reschedule and cancel lessons. My policy is you should inform me that you need to cancel a lesson with at least 6 hours notice. If you are unable to make a session, I wait 15 minutes from the start time, and if you do not inform me before the lesson starts, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $15.

Skilled, Patient, Responsive

Markku has been such a valued resource for me in my statistics journey. He showed flexibility with scheduling lessons and was responsive in his communication. He is incredibly knowledgeable about statistics and SAS software. I was a slow learner with these topics and he showed endless patience with me!

Brianna, 19 lessons with Markku

Expert and very patient instructor

I learned so much from Markku. He supported me in asking strategic questions about my data analysis plan for a school project and a graduate course. He is very detailed and helped me refine how I ask questions and be more confident in my understanding of key stat topics. He covered neat tips and tricks that I wished was covered in my class. I can't wait for my next session!
