Dissertation committees typically examine data analysis sections closely, with particular attention to methodological clarity, alignment, and transparency. Because of this level of scrutiny, many students find the data analysis phase challenging and benefit from additional instructional support.
Data analysis is a key area of focus within our academic consulting services. Our team includes consultants with doctoral-level training in statistics and research methodology, and we bring extensive experience providing analysis-related tutoring and advisory guidance across a wide range of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches.
All support is instructional and educational in nature. We do not conduct analyses, generate results, or make academic decisions on a student’s behalf. Students retain full responsibility for their data and conclusions, which remain subject to institutional and committee review.

Data Analysis Support Areas
-
Our data analysis services focus on instructional consultation and tutoring to help students understand analytic approaches, assumptions, and reporting conventions as they conduct and present their own analyses. Support may include guidance related to:
-
Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods analysis concepts
Instructional guidance on analytic frameworks, assumptions, and alignment with research questions and methodology. -
Mixed-methods design considerations
Coaching on common mixed-methods designs and how qualitative and quantitative components are typically integrated and explained in academic writing. -
Power analysis concepts
Tutoring on the purpose, assumptions, and interpretation of power analysis, including how results are commonly reported. -

Conceptual tutoring on commonly used methods (e.g., ANOVA, MANCOVA, correlation, regression, path analysis, SEM), with emphasis on assumptions, interpretation, and reporting rather than execution. -
Data organization concepts
Advisory guidance on best practices for organizing datasets and documenting analytic decisions. We do not design databases or enter data. -
