While working on my PhD I taught at CUNY-Hunter College for about 6 of years. These courses included Introduction to Psychology, Biopsychology, and statistics. Most of my experience was teaching statistics, both in the classroom and lab. During lab I taught SAS, SPSS and Excel. I also taught multivariate statistics at Ferkauf Graduate School Psychology at Albert Einstein Medical School using SAS and JMP. My PhD dissertation topic was mapping the human visual cortex using visual evoked potentials.

Since completing graduate school in 2000, I have been working in professional services for the SAS Institute. During this time period I have had the honor of working for many different types of customers and projects. Through my teaching experience and professional projects, I bring a wealth of information from real world experience to my tutoring style. I am able to explain complex things in understandable ways using real examples that students can relate to.

I am looking to work further with students in a tutoring or consultative capacity. I am very professional, dependable and considered one of the experts in the field of using SAS.

Worked for 14 years at SAS Institute in professional services with customers on Redhat Linux environments. During this time period my responsibilities while working at customer sites was to install software on LINUX operating systems and creating Linux environments suitable for the software. For example, much of my time was spent doing basic admin tasks such as creating users, groups, folders, assigning permissions, using VI editor to modify scripts. In addition, GREP'ing PIDs to find running processing and what ports they were utilizing while troubleshooting problems.

Biostatistics

While working on my PhD I took Biostatistics courses. When analyzing data for my PhD we had to use biostatistical analyses such as Discrete Fourier Transforms to pull out fundamental and 2nd harmonic waves from VEP (Visual Evoked Potential) data. These results were further analyzed by using T-Circ ^2 multivariate stats to discern a nervous system response from random neural background noise.

Very professional, knowledgeable, and patient

Bill is a great person to work with and very patient. He helped me with SAS and graphs and definitely will work with him for all my other projects.

Incredibly Knowledgeable Tutor

Bill has been able to answer every single question I have had about cleaning and preparing data in SAS. A few examples of the topics he has helped me with include changing variables from character to numeric, macro variables, ODS output, creating new variables, and changing variable names to lowercase. He is patient and explains complicated code in very accessible ways.

Knowledgable tutor

Bill is an excellent tutor! For me, I think 1 hour would not be enough for understanding SAS and to go over a big project. I wish the 1st hour was free to see the kind of help is needed.

Excellent!!

His ability to quickly get to the root of the issue by asking the right questions and triaging the challenges demonstrates a rare ability in SAS code development.

REV, 6 lessons with Bill

Great instruction. Highly recommend.

Bill W. took the time to define many differences in the SAS and Proc SQL syntax, and took the time to explain things thoroughly. If I run into any additional roadblocks - and I'm certain I will - I'll not hesitate to contact Bill W.

Bill Saved My Bacon

Bill helped me with a SAS analysis that I was clueless on. Helps to have someone who actually works for SAS tutoring you! He also was really flexible trying to coordinate a time to meet across 3 time zones. Highly recommend!
