About
I am a retired university professor; I have a Ph.D. in measurement and evaluation (the degree for those who make the SAT/ACT/ASVAB, etc.) and a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology (so I also help students with memory tricks, time management, and to overcome test anxiety). I want you to have fun learning. I have several tricks and tips that help students learn more effectively while also making them smile. I think of ways that the student will eventually apply the information in real life, too. This way, their brain will retain what they learn. I love seeing the light bulb go on over someone's head. They have just had an "ah-hah" moment, and that gives me a charge.

I am in a doctoral program and I was struggling with the statistical portion of the classes. I was tasked with using a statistical software that neither Doug or I had any experience with and he quickly learned the program and helped me understand the process and data. I am extremely grateful for his professionalism, knowledge of the subject, and good teaching styles as well as patience.
