Customer Reviews

I really enjoyed the R course with instructor Amy Ma. The content is very practical. It can be directly applied to solve real-world data analysis problem. We had many in-class coding exercises, which helped us understand the R syntax.

Also, Amy tried her best to provide a lot of useful resources. We could tell that she is very passionate about what she is doing, and she is patient with students. We could reach her after class through email, even the course was finished. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in data analysis and wants to learn R from the beginning.

I completed the Intensive beginner course for R and I highly recommend it! I’ve learned a lot in 5 weeks and I can say that I am now an R convert (from SAS). I’ve learned so many functions and packages that I am now able to use them confidently at work. Vivian was also a great, hard working teacher who encouraged every one in the class to study harder which means she really cared that that her students would become great data scientists sooner than later. I like the class so much I am now taking the R intermediate class.

Sam obtained their Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from Bard College, while dabbling in some computer science classes along the way. After school, they decided to make a break from traditional academic life, and worked for several years doing carpentry for places like West Elm, and events like Shakespeare in the Park. Eventually they would turn to the field of Data Science, wherein a passionate blend of creative and analytical thinking can lead to some robust outcomes. They’ve worked in industry building models for Fortune 500 companies that ease the hiring process, and allow for interviewees to be more than just their resume. Their interests include reading, sewing, carpentry, painting, understanding systems, and communicating information effectively to others.
