I have a double major in Economics and Statistics, and a minor in Mathematics from UC Berkeley. I've had over 10 years' experience working with college students and very much enjoy working in the subjects I tutor.

I've received and eventually provided extensive training and tutoring at UC Berkeley for the Athletic Study Center (located at the Caesar Chavez building) from 2008 until 2011. My perspective of education is complemented from being a workshop leader (discussion section instructor) for the Summer Bridge Program, where I designed my syllabus, graded tests, led lectures and proctored exams. All of my pupils have passed their classes, most with at least a B. I am very familiar with the course structures from many professors in the statistics and economics departments. From all these experience, I've accumulated many high quality examples and teaching materials that I have developed over the years.

Pre-college, and non UC Berkeley students are welcome to contact me.

Jason was very helpful!

I really liked Jason as a tutor. He was very knowledgeable and patient. He got me through a lot of the concepts I was struggling with. He's was also very nice. I highly recommend him!

Dan, 1 lesson with Jason

Excellent and simply the best

Jason is a wonderful and highly skilled teacher, He can solve complex statistical, neural network and ML related math problems with great ease and provides simple explanations with examples

NEERAJ, 8 lessons with Jason

Great tutor !

Super helpful. He guides you through the problems and very patience. He explains everything into details and he has a good sense of humor.

Ruth , 1 lesson with Jason

Helpful

Good personality, patient and fun. He helped me with The Statistical Concepts of the Behavioral Science. Only one session so far but I have another scheduled!

Shawn, 3 lessons with Jason

Competent

Very competent and good economic intuitions. Would recommend on working with him on any assignment that involves both math and economics. Is this text long enough ?

Andrea, 2 lessons with Jason

great lesson

Great lesson. In depth and very informative. Was able to break down complex concepts into simple parts. I would use this tutor again.

Edward, 3 lessons with Jason

Amazing teacher!

Jason was very patient and very kind. He took his time to explain everything to me thoroughly, and made the lesson fun. I would highly recommend him to anybody! Because of him, I ended up getting a passing grade on my final, had we not done a late night session to review (yes, he was willing to do a late night session with me to accommodate my work schedule) I don’t know what I would’ve done. 10 out of 10!

T. , 2 lessons with Jason

Very talented and patient tutor!

Best tutor for econometrics, understands the coding languages and technicalities of R studios. Very patient working with me, and provided great support!

Mesay, 2 lessons with Jason

[Advance Statistics] - Exceeded all expectations

TLDR: Need a statistics tutor to help you understand this branch of mathematics? he is your guy... worth every dollar and then some. Very knowledgeable, patient, and an absolute great communicator! Finding the right tutor with the technical knowhow, communication, and patience is a big ask, especially when wyzant tutoring profiles say very little. I needed help discussing concepts in an advance probability course and I've had prior experience reaching out to other wyzant tutor and leaving very disappointed. Jason was the complete opposite, he exceeded all expectation and we hit the grown running with concepts I was having a hard time grasping (calculating probabilities for type 1 and type 2 error for various discrete probability distributions, discussing and calculating methods of moments, minimum-variance unbiased estimator, maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), and constructing most powerful alpha-level tests. All this is to say is that if you need help with statistics, at all levels, he is your guy.

Trinidad, 16 lessons with Jason

Great at explaining

Jason has been helping me with a graduate-level intro to statistics class. Before meeting with Jason I was feeling overwhelmed by the homework and tests, but after working with him twice, my understanding is quickly improving. I am looking forward to continuing to get help from Jason!
