Learning statistics, particularly if you have been away from number-heavy courses for a long time can be daunting, and it can even be more stressful if your early math experiences were coupled with anxiety due to counterproductive, shame-focused teaching methods. And I see this in my every day practice. ​Working with my clients one-on-one, compassionately and at their own-pace, creating a non-judgmental environment where they feel free to ask any question they like and explore their confusion, helping to build their self-esteem, and ultimately being able to relieve some of that stress and burden - which can feel a lot if you have other responsibilities such as fulltime jobs and family - bring me an immense amount of joy. And these are values of mine that attempt to cultivate in my teaching practice.
