Steve Poulin’s career has been a journey from social science to data science and back. He has a Ph.D. in social policy from Columbia University, and from 1999 until 2010 he was part of a research team at the University of Pennsylvania, preparing and analyzing survey and administrative data. However, he became increasingly involved in statistics and data science when he began working as a trainer for the statistical software company SPSS, Inc. in 1997. Dr. Poulin transitioned from social science to data science when he began working for SPSS full-time in 2010, which was purchased by IBM during that same year. He left IBM in 2014 to work with smaller data analytics firms, and returned to IBM in June of 2019. During his tenure as a trainer, he taught nearly every course offered by SPSS and IBM SPSS, and as a trainer and consultant, he has worked with more than 250 organizations. In 2022 he became a full-time faculty member of the Northern Kentucky University School of Social Work, where he teaches research and policy courses. The students in Dr. Poulin's research courses use the Qualtrics on-line survey program for their projects, which has enabled him to gain experience and expertise with this program.

With 25 years of using SPSS Statistics and teaching statistics courses, Dr. Poulin can offer an unparalleled level of expertise with the software and the statistical techniques it offers. He also loves teaching research, statistics and data science.

Knowledgeable & patient tutor

Steve really took his time to guide me in my Data Management using SPSS course. He even helped me troubleshoot laptop issues while helping me gain better understanding of SPSS. Steve went above and beyond & extended the time as needed to better guide me in the assingments I needed help with. I will def be booking with him soon.

Disappointing experience.

I unfortunately had a negative experience with Steve. I needed help writing a research paper which used SPSS. His background was strong so I went ahead and booked him. The first session seemed great like we were just making some progress. The second session was a complete waste of time. We spent an hour and a half looking online for a codebook that it turns out I didn't need. We wasted about an hour and twenty minutes and he still charged me for a full two hours. Then for the final session he did not show up. I work hard for my money and to not get any benefit of spending it is very frustrating and disappointing. I wish he would have at least notified me he wasn't showing up for the last session so I didn't waste TIME AND MONEY.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor - Creative with approach!

I am wrapping up my data analysis for my dissertation and the data set was massive! Steve helped me reorganize the data and then streamline the analyses to eliminate the repetitive tests I would have had to run. I couldn't have gotten this far with my sanity intact without his guidance!

Well verse professor

I was thrown into a class I did not know about and a program I didn’t know anything about. I found Steve, and he has been the most significant help to me in understanding and navigating these programs in this class. Excellent teacher. SPSS would have killed me if I didn’t ask Steve to tutor me.

Thorough, adaptive, and patient SPSS Tutor

Steve was immensely helpful in assisting with my SPSS assignment. His patient, novice-friendly approach was very appreciated. All terminology was explained in great detail without the feeling of being overwhelmed. Will definitely be working with him again for my SPSS class.

knowledgeable and patient

Steve is awesome! I know very little about SPSS. He is knowledgeable, patient, and a great teacher. After one session I was able to maneuver around in SPSS to do the things he taught me. He made the process less scary. Definitely recommend.
