What being stuck costs
Another year is not free
Every extra term is more tuition, more fees, and another year of the salary your degree was supposed to unlock. It is also another year of the project sitting on your shoulders, of explaining to your family why it isn't done, and of wondering whether it ever will be.
You are not stuck because you lack the ability. You are stuck because nobody ever made the process clear. That part is fixable, and it is the part I do.
Where most students get stuck
You are not bad at statistics. You were never taught this part.
Doctoral programs teach you to read research. They rarely teach you to run it. The gap usually shows up in one of four places.
01
The methods chapter keeps coming back
Your committee asks for a different design, a power analysis, or a justification you have not seen written down anywhere. Every revision cycle costs you a term.
02
The data are collected and now nothing moves
You have a spreadsheet, a plan that no longer quite fits, and no clear first step. Months can disappear here.
03
The output does not mean anything yet
You ran the test. The software gave you tables. Translating them into assumptions checked, effects reported, and claims you can actually defend is a separate skill.
04
The defense is the real fear
You can live with the analysis being hard. What keeps you up is being asked why you chose that model, in a room, on the record.

How it works
Three easy steps between today and graduation
Scope and cost
You send the intake form describing where you are. I read it and reply in writing with what the work involves and one flat price. No meter, no revised invoice later, and nothing owed for asking.
Full-service consultation
Clarify, analyze, write, defend. Methodology, data screening, analysis, APA tables, results chapter support, and defense preparation, all of it explained, so the work stays yours.
Unlimited support
Ask as many questions as you need. Every revision your committee asks for is included, before and after both defenses, at no extra cost.
Human-led, and private
A credentialed professor in the United States, not a mill and not a chatbot
Every decision is mine, personally
You work with me from the first message to the defense. Nothing is subcontracted. Every analysis decision and every piece of advice is mine.
Your data never goes to an AI company
Client data is not uploaded to AI services, ever. Your dataset stays between you and me.
Your project stays private
I never contact your university, and your identity, data, and project are never shared with anyone. Whether you mention working with me is up to you.
