One-to-One
For professionals and researchers with work already under way, in Bangladesh or abroad. We build a plan around your project, your deadline, and your starting point, and classes begin when you approve it.
Mentorship and Consultancy
Real papers. Real datasets. A mentor who does statistics for a living. From your first research question to results you can defend under review, we teach you the whole study: one-to-one, in a small cohort, or in a live class.
Mentorship
Every format is taught live by a working statistician. The difference is how closely the teaching follows your own project: completely in one-to-one, through a study of your own in the Research Cohort, and through a shared course in a batch.
For professionals and researchers with work already under way, in Bangladesh or abroad. We build a plan around your project, your deadline, and your starting point, and classes begin when you approve it.
Three to five students, one mentor, three months. You learn methodology, statistics, and software together, and each of you completes a study of your own, with a certificate anyone can verify.
A live course for fifty to a hundred students on a set subject, such as research methodology. Structured, built on real published research, and open to questions in every class.

What you learn
Not a list of formulas, and not a software tour. We teach research itself: what a study asked, whether its design could answer it, and what its numbers can and cannot show.
Framing the question, choosing the design, measuring well, picking the method, and building the tables, right through to the methods section you will have to defend.
Every idea starts from a published paper or a real dataset before any formula appears, so it still makes sense long after the class ends.
SPSS, R, Stata, Python, or Excel, learned by rebuilding results you already understand, in the tool you will actually use.
Inside a real class
Every class is built from published papers and real data. Open a slide to see the full session and the notes the student keeps.
How it starts
Your goal, deadline, software, and where you are starting. A few lines is enough.
The topics, their order, and what each session should leave you able to do.
Read the plan and say yes, or ask for changes. Classes do not start until you agree.
Slides made for each session, a written chapter you keep, and support between classes.
Research and data services
For researchers and organizations, we also work as your statistical partner: consulting, analysis, evaluation, dashboards, and specialist data work. A second statistician reviews every project before it reaches you.
Consulting and statistical support for theses, surveys, and papers.
For NGOs, development projects, hospitals, businesses, and government teams.
For projects that need machine learning, omics data, or careful handling of clinical data.
Who we work with
Whether you are learning research for the first time, answering a journal reviewer, or reporting to a donor, you work with the same team and the same review standard.
Learn to plan, analyze, and defend your own thesis research, with a mentor beside you from the first question to the final table.
Statistical consulting for studies and papers: sound methods, clear tables, and honest answers to reviewer comments.
Surveys, evaluations, dashboards, and reports for NGOs, development projects, hospitals, businesses, and government teams.
Everything we do works online. The scope, timeline, and payment are agreed in a quote before any work begins.
Mentors and specialists trained in statistics and data science at the University of Rajshahi and abroad.
Every class plan and every project goes to the person whose methods and field fit it best.
A second statistician reviews the method and the write-up before anything reaches you.
We teach and work in R, Python, SPSS, Stata, Excel, and Power BI.
Boundaries
We never write theses, papers, or assignments for anyone. Students learn to do the work themselves; we teach, check, and explain.
We never invent data, manufacture findings, or cut corners to reach a result.
We do not promise publication, grades, approvals, or funding. Those depend on other people’s judgment.
Student Reviews
In their own words, including what they think we should do better.
My main issue with online courses has always been that I finish watching everything and then forget half of it when I actually need to use it. Had a similar problem in the beginning here too. I think the course could benefit from more follow-up assignments and feedback. But I did learn how to approach a research question and plan the analysis instead of randomly trying different tests. Still not an expert obviously, but definitely more confident than before.
থিসিসের ডেটা কালেকশনের পর প্রায় একমাস কিছু করতে পারি নাই। কোথা থেকে শুরু করব সেটাই বুঝতাম না। Stat.BD থেকে শেখার পর অন্তত নিজের অ্যানালাইসিসটা শুরু করতে পেরেছি। আগে সুপারভাইজার মেথড নিয়ে কিছু জিজ্ঞেস করলে ভয় লাগত। এখন সব না পারলেও নিজের কাজটা মোটামুটি বুঝিয়ে বলতে পারি। আমার জন্য এটাই অনেক।
Stat.BD এর teaching approach ভালো লেগেছে। But I think assignment গুলা আরেকটু challenging হওয়া উচিত। কারণ practice dataset এ সবকিছু মোটামুটি clean থাকে, নিজের research data তো এত clean না ভাই 🙂 প্রথমবার নিজের dataset নিয়ে বেশ ঝামেলায় পড়ছিলাম। যদিও এখন অনেক কিছু নিজে solve করতে পারি। Overall fundamentals clear করার জন্য ভালো, but advanced level এ যেতে আরো practice লাগবে।
Good course overall, but I wish there were more exercises with messy real-world datasets. The examples during class made sense, but when I tried my own data it wasn't that straightforward lol. That being said, the explanations of statistical tests and assumptions were genuinely helpful. I now understand a lot of things that I used to just memorize for exams.
আমার কাছে কোর্সের সবচেয়ে ভালো দিক ছিল যে শুধু SPSS শেখানোর মধ্যে সীমাবদ্ধ ছিল না। রিসার্চের প্রশ্ন থেকে শুরু করে অ্যানালাইসিস পর্যন্ত একটা ধারনা পেয়েছি। তবে একটা বিষয় বলব, কিছু টপিকের পরে আরও বেশি প্র্যাকটিস করানো দরকার। কারণ ক্লাসে বুঝলেও বাসায় এসে একা করতে গেলে আবার আটকে গেছি কয়েকবার। তারপরও আগের তুলনায় অনেক ভালো অবস্থায় আছি।
I joined mainly for my thesis, and I was expecting more of a software training course. The first few sessions were a bit too theoretical for me tbh. But later I realised why those basics were important. I had previously watched tons of tutorials, still couldn't decide which test to use on my own data. I wouldn't say I can do everything independently now, but I can at least figure out what I'm supposed to do and why. That's a pretty big improvement for me.
ভালোই ছিল কোর্সটা। তবে যারা একদমই স্ট্যাটিস্টিকস জানে না তাদের শুরুতে একটু সমস্যা হতে পারে। আমারও প্রথম কয়েকটা ক্লাস বুঝতে কষ্ট হইছে। পরে রেকর্ডিং আর প্র্যাকটিস করে বুঝছি। আসলে শুধু ক্লাস করলে হবে না নিজে ডেটা নিয়ে বসতে হবে। এই জিনিসটা আগে বুঝলে আরো ভালো হতো।
I liked the course but honestly সবকিছু যে একবারেই বুঝেছি এমন না। Especially regression part টা আমার কাছে একটু difficult ছিল। আর কিছু জায়গায় আরো examples দিলে ভালো হতো। But the good thing is, এখন অন্তত জানি analysis করার আগে কি কি চিন্তা করতে হয়। আগে শুধু YouTube দেখে SPSS এ click করতাম, output আসতো কিন্তু বুঝতাম না 😭 এখন নিজের thesis এর জন্য কাজ করতে পারছি আলহামদুলিল্লাহ।
একটা জিনিস বলি, আগে ভাবতাম research মানেই অনেক complex কিছু, আমার দ্বারা হবে না। Stat.BD করার পর এই ভয়টা কিছুটা কমছে। এখন paper পড়ার সময় methodology section skip করি না আগের মতো 😂
তবে class এর বাইরে individual feedback আরেকটু বেশি পেলে ভালো হতো। কিছু জায়গায় নিজে try করতে গিয়ে আটকে গেছি। But overall experience positive ছিল।
সত্যি বলতে আমি আগে SPSS এর অনেক টিউটোরিয়াল দেখছি, কিন্তু নিজের থিসিসের কাজ করতে গিয়ে বুঝলাম আসলে কিছুই ঠিকমতো শিখি নাই 😅 Stat.BD এর ক্লাসগুলো করে বেসিক জিনিসগুলো অনেকটা ক্লিয়ার হইছে। বিশেষ করে কোন টেস্ট কেন করব এটা আগে বুঝতাম না। এখন নিজের ডেটা নিয়ে কাজ করতে পারছি। তবে কিছু ক্লাস একটু ফাস্ট মনে হইছে, নতুনদের জন্য আরেকটু স্লো হলে ভালো হতো।
FAQ
Your topic, your organization or university, where the data stands, any software you prefer, the output you need, and the deadline. A few lines is enough for the initial review.
No. You remain the researcher and the author. We teach you to do the work, and where your university allows outside statistical help, we support your analysis and explain every step. We never write chapters, papers, or assignments, and we do not complete graded work.
No. We focus on sound analysis and clear reporting. Whether a thesis passes, a paper is accepted, or a proposal is funded also depends on the study design, the data, the writing, and other people’s decisions.
Your files are confidential. Only the assigned specialist and the internal reviewer can see them. Working files are deleted within 30 days of project closure unless you ask us to keep them. Nothing is reused or shared.
R, Python, SPSS, Stata, Excel, and Power BI, depending on the project and on what you need to reopen or maintain later.
