Data is more abundant than ever. How will you use it?

About you:

You are a Junior or Senior in high school or early in college, located in MetroWest Massachusetts.
You are already a good writer, regularly earning top grades on written assignments in challenging classes.
You are comfortable working with numbers, including manipulating fractions, percentages, averages, and growth rates.
You want to write and to think with rigor and precision, and are willing to work for it.

My offering:

From the basics of using a number in a sentence to identifying high-quality data sources for any topic, I teach students to write with data. Working together one-on-one, we will dig deep into the meaning of individual numbers, zoom out to see the implications of broad trends, and expose the hidden assumptions in your data-driven arguments.

I can offer these services as a one-time intervention, a clinic of 2-5 sessions, or an ongoing arrangement. Whatever you choose, I will tailor our time together to meet you where you are and push you as far as you can go.

Rate:

$100/hour.

One of the many jobs I've had was teaching Economics at College of the Holy Cross. I was impressed by the writing ability of even incoming freshmen there, but noticed that most students had no idea how to incorporate numbers into their writing. Through detailed feedback, office hours discussions, and class lessons, most students improved dramatically from one assignment to the next. I often heard it was the most valuable aspect of the class.

Now, I am offering that learning experience à la carte as a targeted intervention for ambitious students.

Besides teaching, I have worked in kitchens, factories, and offices. I am currently the Site Quality Leader at a medical device factory. My wife and I have four sons, and we live in Westborough.
