I am the senior research analyst for a large school district, with expert knowledge of statistics, and a strong mathematical background which I impart to students. I have served as an adjunct professor and a teaching assistant in quantitative disciplines as well as in the capacity of a reading therapist. I have served on several dissertation committees and enjoy working with students by helping them to extend their thinking. I hold a Doctorate in Education with a concentration in Research, Leadership, and Policy; a Master of Business Administration in Management Science; and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.

My common professional and teaching goal is to illuminate the way things work leading to a higher level of understanding and ultimately to superior performance. As a mentor, I believe that learning is a two-way exchange and only as good as the effort expended. Stress is lessened when a student meets his/her responsibilities and completes assignments in a timely fashion. Self-esteem is heightened when students can demonstrate understanding of the subject matter.

stats review

Did a great job helping me code and talk through the logic of the decisions etc. Would highly recommend, thank you!

Josh, 3 lessons with Steven

Extremely knowledge in practical statistics

Steve truly has a passion for this. He isn’t just an academic but has decades of real-world, applied statistical work (surveys, regression, factor analysis). Insists on details and rigid intellectual integrity. Highly Recommend

Knowledgeable, helpful, supportive

Dr. Urdegar helped me through several sessions in support of a project I am working on. He made himself available, provided considerable information (and thankfully for me) patient explanation regarding statistical purpose, interpretation and (again, thankfully for me) helped me refine my data to aid in support of the data analysis, let alone getting the analysis completed through use of SPSS. I now feel like I will be able to complete this project timely, in no small part thanks to Dr. Urdegar (thank you and please know I am grateful for both your support and assistance). I imagine most anyone looking for a knowledgeable, helpful and readily available tutor could do no wrong with Dr. Urdegar.

Graduate level Statistics help

Steven was very patient and took the time to explain in simple language and with examples what the terminology meat and most importantly what it meant. He even had a PowerPoint that provided simple explanations. He also provided me with additional resources that I can review. Very much appreciate!!!

SPSS Scholar and excellent guide

Steven taught me to process the data differently. He encouraged me to look at what the statistical testing actually represents. He was dogged and determined to help me through ! VERY excellent teacher

Sherrie, 1 lesson with Steven

Great Tutor

I had three sessions with Steven. I needed help with statistics and using SPSS. He was very patient and wanted to make sure that I understood why I was doing things and not just telling me how to do it. He even printed out material that would help me study and gave it to me at our second session. He is very knowledgeable in statistics. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help in the subject.
