About Us

Welcome! My name is Jacob Mays and I'm the founder of SPSSVideoTutor.com, DissertationChallenge.com, and author of the SPSSVideoManual.

I know first hand how frustrating using SPSS can be. Back when I first learned SPSS as a graduate student in 1993, I had major trouble figuring out which statistical analysis to run given a specific research question. Then once I finally figured it out, I had difficulty interpreting the results and writing it in APA format. I wasn't doing well in my statistics class at all. The only thing that saved me from failing the class was the passing of my mother in the middle of the semester. The professor gave me an incomplete and I would have to retake the class in the spring.

I was given a second chance. I was panicking. I couldn't rely on the professor for help because his office hours were taken up by scores of other students. So, I read a couple of step-by-step books I found on SPSS. I studied these books at least 10 hours a day during my 3 week winter break. I would do the exercises repeatedly until I knew them like the back of my hand. My hard work paid off. I got an A in my statistics class that spring. In fact, I became so good in SPSS and statistics, that a year later, my statistics professor made me the project manager of his 1.3 million dollar research grant. This grant paid for my tuition and provided me with a $15,000 stipend!

Sixteen years later, I've leveraged my skills in SPSS and research to become the head of market research in the B2B division of a fortune 500 company. I receive questions about SPSS from both students and professionals. However, it's difficult to help people with SPSS when you are not at the same location. So, I decided to create web site containing video tutorials on how to use SPSS.

SPSSVideoTutor.com has since evolved to become more than a web site with step-by-step video instructions. It is now a place where students and professionals can get personal help with SPSS, statistics and research projects, from classroom assignment to doctoral dissertations.
