Finish with clear next steps and an explanation you can use when discussing the analysis with your supervisor.

Joseph Mburu
Data Analysis & Research Methods Coach
I help Master's and PhD students make sense of their research data and statistical analysis. Sessions focus on your own project so you understand each decision instead of receiving a black-box answer.
Based in Nairobi, Kenya. Coaching students online worldwide.

WHY 1:1 COACHING?
Your analysis should make sense to you, not only to the software.
Use your own research
Generic examples are useful, but your dissertation has its own design, variables and constraints.
Ask questions immediately
Stop at the exact point that is confusing and work through it while looking at the same output.
Respond to feedback faster
Understand what a supervisor is asking for instead of repeatedly guessing what a statistical comment means.
Prepare to defend your decisions
Build the reasoning needed to explain your methods and results in meetings, presentations and a viva.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before you book.
Still unsure whether your problem fits a coaching session? Use the contact details below and describe where you are stuck.
Book a SessionIs this a done-for-you dissertation analysis service?
No. The coaching model is designed to help you understand and perform your analysis. We can work through your dataset, output, decisions and supervisor feedback together, but you remain responsible for your submitted research.
Can I use my own dataset during the session?
Yes. Using your own research is usually the most useful approach. Remove unnecessary personal or sensitive identifiers before sharing data.
Can you help me choose the correct statistical test?
Yes. We can review your research question, hypotheses, variable types, design and assumptions to identify an appropriate analysis and explain the reasoning.
Which students do you work with?
The service is designed primarily for Master's and PhD students who need support with quantitative research methods, statistical analysis and interpretation.
Can you help with supervisor comments or viva preparation?
Yes. A session can focus entirely on understanding statistical feedback, planning revisions, or preparing to explain and defend your analytical decisions.
