About Me

I've had careers in actuarial consulting and academia. I can teach statistics, mathematics, finance, and software skills in Excel and R. I'm an amateur musician and have a large dog called Heidi.

Tutor Experience

I have 25 years' experience as a teaching academic at tertiary level. Tutored in statistics and theology, then lectured in statistics (and theology) at Murdoch University. More recently lectured in actuarial science and statistics at Curtin University and tutored in actuarial studies at Macquarie University. Nearly all this teaching was to first-year university students or those preparing for university study. Some teaching to post-grad students. I worked successfully with students across a wide range of mathematical aptitudes. I won awards for teaching excellence and was responsible for teaching quality in my school.
I foster a reflective, student-centred approach, so students gain insight into their strengths and challenges, and acquire skills that empower them to address their challenges with confidence.

Topic Expertise

Statistics, mathematics, actuarial studies to first-year university level in Australia. Also expert in software such as Excel and R.

Client Reviews

- Statistics

I highly recommend Doug as a tutor. He is patient and commited

- Statistics

Thank you so much to Doug for helping me get to grips with statistics. I have really found statistics challenging and Doug has been able to clearly explain things. He is very patient and is able to phrase things so that I can understand them.

- Statistics

I found tuition with Doug extremely useful and definitely recommend. Personally it really helped me in connecting concepts to exam style questions and with explaining basic terminology skipped in higher level classes, in a clear and simple way.

- Statistics

Doug was great, really helpful and stepped through very clearly.

- Finance

Doug came prepared for my first assignment. He proposed insightful thinking, process and a working plan to build on.

- Theology And Religious Studies

Testimonials

Doug has been a really helpful teacher in using Rstudio and Rmarkdown in statistics. I reached out to him to help me with something entirely new to me and I had no background in it so it was stressful enough but he was very patient, had a great teaching style and was super easy to understand. It's rare to come across a good teacher as a lot of them make their students run from mathematics or anything close to it so I've been incredibly lucky to come across a great teacher.

Doug is a wonderful, kind and thoughtful tutor. He has an excellent approach at explaining both simple and complex mathematics. I was very maths illiterate, but recently scored 93% on exams thanks to Doug’s clear and helpful tutoring.
