Nursing

I didn’t expect to enjoy SSC 302 as much as I did after I completed taking this course last Spring. The subject was sometimes extremely difficult to grasp and many topics were challenging but spending countless of hours outside of class studying, I began to form a deeper understanding for the course and understood the purpose of statistics. Been having completed the class, I can understand how frustrating statistics can get when the concepts get complicated but with practice and concentration, one can find that it becomes fun and interesting when statistics begins to become relevant to real life. I enjoy tutoring and am great at working one on one with people for I can be depended on to be motivating, patient and responsible.  So just as I succeeded in the class, I would love to help future students to also succeed in the course as well. From the experience I earn from this opportunity, I hope to spread my knowledge about this course and aid those who need the extra help.

Chemical Engineering/Chemistry

I thought my SSC class last semester was really great! I definitely learned a lot and I would like to help future students see just how applicable statistics really are. I have past tutoring experience with high school and college students in various math and chemistry courses, and I think I do a good job of explaining concepts in ways that are easy to understand.

Nursing Honors

Statistics can be quite tricky. Having to know which test to run, the different equations, and the right words to use to explain the tests can all come together and make a confused and frustrated student. When I first started this class, I was that student. But with help, I was quickly able to get past all the confusion and see how applicable Statistics can be compared to all the other types of math. I’m excited to be a SSC tutor because I would love to see the moment my peers understand the material and appreciate what they are learning. I have prior experience of being a tutor so I know being a one means being dedicated and patient. I think all of these qualities will make me a great SSC peer tutor.

Public Relations

I enjoyed and excelled in my statistics course last semester and would like the opportunity to help other students do well. I have had past experience tutoring throughout high school within the National Honor Society, and I have always enjoyed tutoring and working one on one with people. I also helped other students within my statistics course last semester before quizzes and feel I was beneficial in helping them. I am patient and dedicated when working with a student and have always worked hard to ensure that the student fully understands the material. I am reliable and can be depended upon to make this position a priority. I hope to gain experience from this opportunity as I plan to continue my education in graduate school and hope to become a TA.

Public Health

I used to have a lot of trouble with Statistics when I first enrolled into the class, but after the first week I started developing an interest in statistics because I learned how to make it relevant to real life. I was able to teach myself concepts by applying it to life situations and I was also able to help some of my classmates learn harder concepts through example. I haven't just learned how to work problems out of a statistics textbook, but I've also learned recognizing when and where certain concepts need to be applied. I'm also incredibly patient and I'm able to translate textbook language into "layman's terms" quite eloquently.

Biochemistry

I truly enjoyed being in the SSC 304 course last spring semester. I came in with no previous knowledge of statistics and the word 'statistics' itself scared me from the beginning. However, when I actually started learning and seeing how what I have learned applies in real life, statistics became really fun. I understand how statistics can be overwhelming at first since there are so many terms to remember and numbers to calculate. Here's the thing though, statistics consist of repeating patterns. Once you can recognize these patterns, it gets easier to make sense out of all the variables and numbers. I would like to help other students understand how statistics work, how to solve problems, and eventually apply it in real life. I have overcome my own difficulties in the course and I honestly believe that other students will benefit from my experience as well. I have been tutoring my peers since middle school and have been fairly successful in the process. I will try my very best to assist every student in the process of learning statistics by utilizing what I have learned in the SSC 304 course.
