Education – Child and Youth Studies
Dr. Berger-Cooper is very knowledgeable in the area of statistics. I learned a lot from our phone conversations and e-mail communication. After she helped with my Results chapter, she made sure it was APA correct, and she has even done follow-ups to make sure that all went well with my committee members after the chapter was submitted and even after I submitted my completed dissertation. That gesture was a big plus to me because it showed me that she cared and was genuinely concerned about not only the chapter she worked on but my entire dissertation. Dr. Berger-Cooper’s services truly helped me through a difficult time in my dissertation process. I would most definitely use her services again if the need were ever to arise.

I was at the tail end of my dissertation when I ran into a statistical road block. I wasn’t sure where to turn and found StatSure.net through a Google word search on the Internet. Of course, I was hesitant to hire a statistician from halfway across the world. However, my fear immediately subsided after my first email exchange with Dr. Aliza Berger-Cooper. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable and helped me to quickly and effectively achieve my goal.
I will highly recommend Dr. Aliza Berger-Cooper to my colleagues and will ring again for any future research endeavors.

Education – Instructional Leadership
I was directed to www.StatSure.net by my dissertation chair when I was struggling with the statistics in my final analysis. I had spent hours reading and using the tutorial of the SPSS software, to no avail. A simple few minutes on Dr. Aliza Berger-Cooper’s website gave me enough information to perform the correct t-tests and write my analysis. I also called her to ask for assistance and to double check my results. Dr. Berger-Cooper was extremely kind and knowledgeable regarding my questions. I would encourage anyone who is performing statistical analysis to consult both the website and Dr. Berger-Cooper for help.
