Statistical Support Tailored to Your Dissertation
Every doctoral candidate's journey is different. Whether you're just beginning your methodology chapter or preparing for your defense, I offer targeted support at the stage where you need it most.
Statistical Analysis
From choosing the right statistical test to interpreting your results with confidence, I provide rigorous, defensible analysis that your committee will respect. We'll work through your data together — whether you're running regression models, ANOVA, factor analysis, structural equation modeling, or multilevel modeling — so you understand not just the output, but what it means for your research.
What's included
- Research question alignment and test selection
- Data cleaning, screening, and assumption testing
- Full analysis execution and results interpretation
- APA-formatted tables and figures
- Results chapter writing support
Methodology Consulting
A well-constructed methodology chapter is the foundation your entire dissertation rests on. I help you design a research approach that is theoretically grounded, practically feasible, and defensible under committee scrutiny — before you collect a single data point. If your methodology has already been challenged, I help you understand what's missing and how to address it.
What's included
- Research design selection (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods)
- Sampling strategy and power analysis
- Instrumentation and measurement validity
- IRB preparation support
- Methodology chapter review and revision
Software Support
Proficient in SPSS and AMOS, I work within the tools your program requires. I'll guide you through the software step by step — not just hand you output — so you can speak to your analysis with confidence during your defense. Many candidates come to me having never used their required software; they leave knowing exactly what they ran and why.
What's included
- SPSS — descriptive statistics through advanced multivariate
- AMOS — structural equation modeling and path analysis
- Assumption testing, data screening, and output interpretation
- APA-formatted output and results documentation
- Syntax documentation so you can explain every step
Dissertation Defense Preparation
Your defense is not just a presentation — it's a scholarly conversation. I help you anticipate the statistical questions your committee is likely to ask, articulate your methodological choices with precision, and walk into that room prepared for whatever comes. Many candidates find that a single focused session before their defense transforms their confidence entirely.
What's included
- Mock defense Q&A focused on statistical and methodological choices
- Slide review for statistical accuracy and clarity
- Coaching on how to explain complex analyses in plain language
- Preparation for common committee challenges
- Post-defense revision support if needed
How it works
A Simple, Supportive Process
Initial Consultation
We begin with a confidential conversation about where you are in your dissertation, what challenges you're facing, and what kind of support would be most valuable. No obligation — just clarity.
Tailored Plan
Based on your needs, timeline, and committee requirements, I develop a focused plan for our work together. Every engagement is customized — there's no one-size-fits-all approach here.
Collaborative Work Sessions
We work through your analysis, methodology, or defense preparation together — at your pace, in your software, with your data. You'll understand every decision we make.
Ongoing Support
Dissertation work rarely follows a straight line. I remain available for follow-up questions, committee feedback responses, and revisions throughout our engagement.
Not Sure Where to Start?
That's exactly what the initial consultation is for. Let's talk through your situation and figure out the most effective path forward together.
