Neil helped me a lot while I was in the process of writing my research paper, teaching me about statistical techniques including OLS, GLS and autoregression, hypothesis testing, regularized regression (Lasso and Ridge), cross validation, the effects of multicollinearity, and principal component analysis in a way that was easy to understand especially since I didn’t have much prior knowledge in statistics and data science beforehand. He explained in detail different types of data including time series as well as which approaches would work best and what the pros and cons were for each. Neil is very knowledgable in his field and it was obvious that he genuinely cared about the success of my paper and whether I learned something, helping me troubleshoot and take different approaches with short notice all while explaining clearly why we were doing each thing. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would since Neil deserves much more than that and his guidance was a huge help throughout and helped me take my project to the next level.

Neil reviewed my daughter's economics paper. He provided logical guidance, pointed to additional research, and prescriptive instruction on how to strengthen her paper. He is extremely knowledgeable about modern economics, and his feedback is clear. I highly recommend him!

Mona, 4 lessons with Neil

I had five sessions with Neil for graduate-level statistics support in R, and he was a huge help. He’s very quick to respond, and quickly understood what I needed support with. He explains things clearly, adapting the sessions to my specific questions rather than following a fixed script. I really appreciated how he cared about both my progress and my understanding. I’d highly recommend Neil to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful statistics tutoring.

Saba, 6 lessons with Neil

Neil recently reviewed a Powerpoint I sent him and he gave an amazing and details analysis of it, with some very helpful insights. He went above and beyond for the scope of what I asked.

Connor, 7 lessons with Neil

I tutored with Neil regarding time series analysis on a time series dataset to predict monthly reservations. Neil went into depth about how and why we could use different approaches like PACF, ACF, differencing, ARIMA, PDARIMA, GARCH, ARCH, Exponential smoothing, and more. He explained the pros and cons of each models, and also helped me code the entire model with explanations on the parameters. He is knowledagble about statistics in general too which is a requirement for time series analysis. Data science can get confusing and often needs a lot of iterations. Some tutors online are irresponsible of their work, where they won't care if their output/response is wrong but Neil takes responsibility for the quality of the work he is providing. Not only does he prepare beforehand but is also honest about what works and what does not and how to improve things given the short deadline.
