Jose Marcial Portilla
Before I get to start about this amazing person here, it was his courses that got me going with data science in a way that I fell in love with it and started this blog. One of my roots in data science trace back to him.
Jose Marcial Portilla is the head of data science at Pierian Data and has multiple courses to his name on Udemy! His courses are to the point, easy to understand and can kickstart your DS and ML career in a way like none other. They are comprehensive and his easy to understand explanations make sure that you never forget the concepts.
Check out this simple tutorial of Python on YouTube if you are new to Data Science:
With almost 40000 followers on LinkedIn and 2.8 million students, there is no doubt he is one of the best Data Science tutors there are and being mentored by him is one of the best ways to crack the world of Data Science.

Josh Starmer (Statquest)
With over 752K subscribers, Statquest is undoubtedly one of the best statistics channels on YouTube that make statistics easy and not too tough to understand for anyone who wants to be a data scientist but fears numbers. Numbers make up most of the data in the world and statistics is needed to make sense of these numbers.
Using Statquest, one can start off their journey in data science and understand statistics in a way that can take the understanding of analytics to another level.
Josh says it as follows on the channel:
Statistics, Machine Learning and Data Science can sometimes seem like very scary topics, but since each technique is really just a combination of small and simple steps, they are actually quite simple. My goal with StatQuest is to break down the major methodologies into easy to understand pieces. That said, I don’t dumb down the material. Instead, I build up your understanding so that you are smarter.
