One-to-one SPSS tuition for undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students, researchers and professionals. De Staic Research offers patient, practical support online or face to face in London, tailored to your research questions, experience and learning needs.
Whether you are opening SPSS for the first time or interpreting a more complex analysis, sessions help you understand what you are doing and why. Tuition draws on more than 25 years of applied research experience, including surveys and evaluation in healthcare, higher education and workplace settings.
What can SPSS tuition cover?
Getting started: importing Excel or survey data, understanding Data View and Variable View, defining variables, setting missing values and checking data quality.
Preparing and describing your data: recoding variables, calculating scores, producing tables and charts, and understanding frequencies, percentages, means and variation.
Choosing and carrying out analysis: selecting tests that fit your research questions and data; checking assumptions; and understanding t-tests, chi-square tests, correlations, regression and appropriate non-parametric alternatives.
Interpreting and reporting: making sense of SPSS output, understanding statistical significance and effect sizes, and presenting findings clearly in a dissertation, thesis or research report.
Support with your dissertation or research project
Sessions can use your own data where appropriate, or practice material if you are learning before data collection. Support is available with questionnaire design, planning your analysis and identifying what your data can reasonably tell you. The aim is to build your understanding and confidence so you can carry out and explain your own work.
Corporate SPSS training for small staff groups
We offer tailored SPSS training for small groups of staff in corporations and other organisations, delivered online or in person. Sessions can be adapted to your team’s existing skills, software version and practical research or analysis needs. Training can use relevant examples or your organisation’s suitably anonymised materials, by agreement. Contact us to discuss your group size, learning objectives, preferred location or online format, and a tailored quotation.
How sessions work
Contact us with your course or professional background, the analysis you need help with, your deadline and the SPSS version you use. We can then discuss a suitable focus, session arrangements and fees before you book. Please do not send identifiable participant data in your initial enquiry.
Common questions
Do I need previous experience? No. Sessions can start with the basics or focus on a specific analysis problem.
Can you help me choose a statistical test? Yes. We will consider your research question, study design, variables and assumptions, rather than select a test from the software menu alone.
Can you help with postgraduate research? Yes. Tuition is available for master’s and doctoral students as well as undergraduate students and professionals.
