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.

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.

Fabulous tutor! I highly recommend working with Steve on Statistics

Steve has helped me understand SPSS fundamentals. My skills in this area have been steadily improving due to his teaching. Additionally, the Wyzant feature of reviewing past tutoring sessions has helped me refresh my memory of our work together.

Excellent SPSS tutoring session

Steve is an excellent tutor. He is a wizard with SPSS and statistics. He was able to show me many shortcuts along with providing explanations of the SPSS output. My time was super well spent! I will definitely use him again.

Patient, supportive, and amazing tutor!

Steve was phenomenal as a tutor... I previously had trouble with a biostatistics course in my program, and now, having to work on another course in data management, cleaning and updating, and coding... I began to feel very lost within the data software platform and navigating certain novel terms (on a Mac, making it more difficult to obtain certain functionalities). Steve brings great clarity and understanding of the contextual information and literacy of data/how to interpret it appropriately for analysis. Not only does he have an immense amount of background expertise working with various software systems, but he also breaks down the terminology of statistical methods as I was flustered before receiving his valuable guidance, feedback, and advice. He will walk you through your concerns and questions/steps, getting you to practice it independently to start becoming familiar with the material. I am starting to feel confident and now comfortable in the course as I continue working with him as a tutor, I CANNOT RECOMMEND STEVE ENOUGH!

Great tutor

Steve is great. He is knowledgable and eager to be helpful right from the onset of every session. He delivers s lot of value and has been flexible with extending sessions and finding times. Very satisfied.

Because of Professor Steve, I now have a new free software and an understanding of a more complicated analysis

Professor Steve is very kind and very passionate about teaching people the ins and outs of SPSS. He introduced me to a free software program and even took me through the steps to add it to my SPSS. In addition, he helped me to run my analysis to test to see if I had a mediating variable while helping to learn how to interpret the output.

excellent teacher

Steve was very patient and we walked through what I needed to do. Learned more from him in an hour than I had in a class. I can't wait for my next session. My analyses now seems doable whereas before it seemed like an unruly mess.

Great Tutor!

Steve is very engaging and put you at ease about your barriers to comprehending the topic for your tutoring. The first session was great and I am looking forward to the other sessions. I feel more at ease this semester.
