Bio

I embarked on my tutoring journey during my undergraduate studies, dedicating four years to teaching in middle school and high school afterschool programs, all while maintaining a 3.84 GPA. Following graduation, I contributed to the CDC, where I honed my skills in R programming and conducted statistical analyses to detect anomalies in Hepatitis B case reporting.

I embarked on my tutoring journey during my undergraduate studies, dedicating four years to teaching in middle school and high school afterschool programs, all while maintaining a 3.84 GPA. Following graduation, I contributed to the CDC, where I honed my skills in R programming and conducted statistical analyses to detect anomalies in Hepatitis B case reporting.

Subsequently, I pursued a master's degree in epidemiology at Yale, focusing on infectious diseases, research design, and statistics. During this time, I served as a teaching assistant for courses such as Introduction to Epidemiology and Vaccines and Vaccine Preventable Diseases. Upon completing my master's degree, I continued my academic journey as a Postgraduate Researcher, earning authorship on two published papers for which I was the primary contributor responsible for statistical analysis.

Presently, I am enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Colorado State University within the Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology Program. My commitment to education extends beyond my formal studies, embodying a belief in a growth mindset. I firmly believe that everyone can master any subject with the right guidance and motivation. I view the brain as a muscle that requires exercise to flourish.

In my teaching approach, I strive to foster a dynamic and engaging environment. I craft relevant examples that resonate with students, making complex concepts more accessible. I promote active learning, encouraging students to tackle problems using all five senses whenever possible.

If you're a high school, undergraduate, or graduate student grappling with statistics, math, data science, or R programming, I'm here to help you overcome challenges and achieve your academic goals!

I have been programming in R to run statistical analysis for epidemiological research for six years now. I have a masters from Yale in epidemiology where R was the primary language we used for coursework. I am currently in a PhD program where I continue to utilize R heavily. I think my experience would be a great fit for your needs! Let me know if you are still interested in finding a tutor. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best, Toby

Biostatistics

I completed my Master's in Epidemiology at Yale University, specializing in Biostatistics. During this program, I co-authored published papers, taking on the role of the primary author responsible for statistical modeling. My academic achievements include earning A's in both Biostatistics I and Biostatistics II. Additionally, I served as a teaching assistant for the Intro to Epidemiology course, which incorporated a significant emphasis on statistics. Moreover, my passion for statistics dates back to my high school years, where I demonstrated early proficiency by earning a score of 4 on the AP Statistics test during my sophomore year. This foundation has significantly contributed to my expertise in the field, bolstering my ability to teach and apply statistical concepts effectively.

Epidemiology

I completed my Master's in Epidemiology at Yale University, specializing in Biostatistics to deepen my understanding of statistical methodologies within the context of epidemiological research. During this program, I not only mastered theoretical concepts but also applied them as the primary author responsible for statistical modeling and research design in published papers. My dedication to statistical excellence is reflected in my academic achievements, as evidenced by securing high marks in both Epidemiology I and Epidemiology II at Yale. As a teaching assistant for the Intro to Epidemiology course, I played a pivotal role in guiding students through the intricate relationship between epidemiological principles and statistical analyses. My journey into the world of statistics began early in high school, where I demonstrated a keen aptitude by earning a commendable score of 4 on the AP Statistics test during my sophomore year. This foundational knowledge has significantly shaped my expertise in epidemiological research, enabling me to not only comprehend but also effectively convey the intricacies of statistical methods within the specific context of epidemiology.
