Hi! I’m Dr. Brian, a college professor, tutor, and passionate educator with over a decade of experience helping students succeed in psychology and statistics. I started Compass Tutoring to offer personalized, judgment-free academic support that meets students where they are - and helps them get where they want to go.
My students describe me as approachable, clear, and patient. Whether you’re preparing for the AP exam, struggling through your college stats course, or just need help making sense of research methods, I’ll work with you to break things down step by step. I specialize in AP Psychology, AP Statistics, Intro to Behavioral Statistics, College Psychology, and research-focused writing.
Tutoring with me isn’t just about memorizing formulas or cramming facts. It’s about building real understanding. I tailor each session to your learning style, your goals, and your pace so you leave feeling confident, not confused. I also help students develop stronger study habits, test strategies, and critical thinking skills that last well beyond the next exam.
I’ve seen firsthand how discouraging it can be to feel lost in class. That’s why I take tutoring personally. I love helping students turn that “I don’t get it” moment into “Ohhh, now I do!” Whether you're trying to catch up or get ahead, I’m here to help you find your way.
I'm a total stats nerd—but in a fun way.
I love finding everyday examples of statistics in real life, whether it's analyzing baseball stats, decoding news headlines, or figuring out the probability of getting a matching sock on the first try.
I once built an entire model railroad layout... just for fun.
I’m a model railroading enthusiast who enjoys recreating historic train lines and scenery. It’s oddly similar to tutoring: it takes patience, planning, and a love of tiny details!
My cat is basically my research assistant.
She supervises all tutoring sessions from a nearby windowsill. You might even spot her in a few of my posts or hear her meow during a session.
