Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: A very passionate and knowledgeable tutor that enjoys helping others to understand and appreciate Mathematics & Statistics. I have 18 years of tutoring experience. Although I am fairly new to this platform, I have many years of experience tutoring from other platforms which I continue to use, and I have recently become more active mostly on this one. I received my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Economics (GPA 3.72) and my Master's degree in Applied Statistics (GPA 4.0) at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ. Recently, I went back to Rutgers and received my MBA (GPA 3.95) specializing in Market Research, Insights, and Analytics & General Marketing. Additionally, I acquired a Master's degree in Data Science (GPA 4.0) from Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ. I have had the pleasure in being a tutor since 2006. I was a tutor at Rutgers University for 6 years during my tenure as an undergraduate & Graduate student tutoring Math, Economics, and Statistics. Additionally, I was a peer mentor / TA in the Mathematics department at Rutgers for the Calculus I and II recitation classes. I continued to assist students with diverse backgrounds and learning needs after graduation through private 1-1 tutoring for 11 years. My students ranged from middle school through college/graduate level. I tutor all levels of Mathematics and Statistics. Currently, I am a professional Statistician/Data Scientist analyzing big data, constructing statistical / machine learning models for a living and tutoring students on the side. The qualities that I possess as a tutor are that I'm passionate about the subject matter to help students stay engaged in the subject, very knowledgeable in the subject matter which will enable me to fill in the gaps in knowledge that the student may have, and I'm patient as I understand the struggles that the student is experiencing in trying to learn the new concepts. Additionally, I have a good sense of humor as a tutor, which often help ease the tensions students may have that was caused by the subject material. Over the years, I have gathered practice problems, past exams questions, and e-textbooks from previous students, which have served very well in providing extra practice and preparation for current students. There's a high chance I may have the electronic version of the textbook that the student is using in class, which further facilitates the tutoring sessions. I am also able to help students navigate through the TI83 / TI84 graphing calculator to assist with solving Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Statistics problems, which is often a tool recommended in the class. Additionally, I am able to help with SPSS, SAS, Python, and Excel to perform statistical analysis. From time to time, students also ask for help in R for their statistical analysis, which Rstudio is very popular for that. Right now I am tutoring remotely via Zoom, via Google Hangout, and via Webex. I'm also open to using any other video conferencing platform that the student may be more familiar with. I'm also open to doing group sessions at a reduced cost. If you and your classmates are struggling with the same material, you may consider this option. As the first one in my family to attend college, I understand the importance of education and for you or your child to fully grasp the class material. I am a firm believer that anyone can learn and love math & statistics if the material is delivered in a way that is conducive to the student's learning. I am very dedicated to my students doing well in their classes so they can move on to the next level with great ease. Looking forward to working with you.

As someone who had not taken a math class in many years, I was very apprehensive and worried when I took my statistics class this quarter. Ronald was extremely patient with me and helped me earn an A, something I would have never thought possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help in math or a statistics course. During the time Ronald tutored me, he always responded promptly to my messages and had a terrific sense of humor, which made it all the more enjoyable. He is definitely the one I will call on again for the next math course I take.

I’m happy to have found Mr. Ronald on the Thumbtack App, to tutor my 15 y.o. with his geometry work. After a few session, he has a much better understanding of which formulas & rules to use to solve problems and has brought his grade up. I’m relieved, knowing that I now have a permanent math tutor for him, as he progresses from high school math into college courses soon. I highly recommend Mr. Ronald!

I needed help getting over my math anxieties and actaully learning some of the many different concepts of math. I reached out to a few tutors and found that Ronald was very knowledgeable and on his game. Ronald is dedicated and professional. We setup a few sessions which went great. He makes it seem easy and have you buying into mastering math. I learned a lot and I am no longer afraid of math. If it wasn't for Ronald's help, I wouldn't been able to pass my exam. Those study sessions paid off. A part of me now loves math. Thanks Ronald! I really appreciate you. This tutor is legit!

Ronald is truly an exceptional human being. I'm so grateful that he was referred to me. I can't imagine working with anyone else for my college statistics course. Ronald not only tutored me but he helped me to comprehend my instructors lessons and come up with methods that were applicable. Ronald is patient, kind, and extremely KNOWLEDGEABLE.
