Meet Your Dissertation Coach
My name is Dean T. Spaulding, Ph.D. I received my Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Statistics from the State University of New York/SUNY in 2001. Since then I have been an associate professor and taught research methods and statistics at the graduate level for 20 years. I have been a grant writer, program evaluator, statistical consultant, and trainer providing professional development. I have also authored or co-authored 7 textbooks in the field and hundreds of technical reports and peer-reviewed articles.
I have also served as a dissertation consultant and supported hundreds of Ph.D and Ed.D. candidates in successfully completing their dissertation.
In order to provide you with the highest level of service I only take on a handful of clients at a time and work with those clients until they graduate. Currently, I am accepting new clients and hope that you will be one of them.

““I originally went with a big agency who wanted a $600 deposit. I was not happy with the service and had trouble getting my deposit back. With Dr. Spaulding I paid hourly, no deposit required. I saved so much money and got just what I needed.”

"Dr. Spaulding is the best! He explains things in a way that my other professors cannot. He is a real teacher, especially when it comes to statistics. He explains it clearly, so anyone can understand it!"

Before I worked with Dr. Spaulding I went to one of the big dissertation companies. It was very impersonal. I bounced around from consultant to consultant. So I decided to try a small consultancy and found the one-to-one personal consultant service offered by Dr. Spaulding to be exactly what I needed!

"Dr. Spaulding is very supportive. I love everything about this agency. I pay as I go, 1 hour at a time so I don’t feel financially strapped. Things are explained clearly. We work together each week on Zoom and if I need more meetings that week I just get on and reserve them!"
