The tutoring room offers tutoring for statistics only at certain times of day. You can find out when someone will be able to help by looking at the tutoring room schedule. For some reason I am incorrectly listed as being in the tutoring room.

I expect to be in my office on Wednesday and Thursday in the afternoon around 1-2pm. If I won't be there one of those times I will post a note on my door with the time I think I'll be around instead.
