Work Smarter, Not Harder: Let me help you grow, excel, and succeed

As a published poet, blogger, writer, technical writer for industry, bible teacher, and US Army retiree, a common thread in all that I have done over the years is teaching. I can teach anything to anyone. I am patient, kind, and respect and care about anyone I teach. My goal is your improvement and success. I'm very detail oriented and the type instructor who determines your needs and gives you the "hands-on" teaching you require to enable you to improve and excel in the area desired -- so that you work smarter, not harder. Please contact me, initially, through WyzAnt email to discuss or if you have any questions. Thank you!

General Computer

Computing excellence has played a major role in my successful career as a professional soldier, poet & writer, and technical writer.

Are you new to the world of computers? Or, if you are a new or old computer user, but computers frustrate you, I can help.

The better you know Microsoft Windows and computing conventions, the better you can use software for the Windows OS. Getting the most out of using Windows also helps you take care of your PC or laptop.

Microsoft Word

As an experienced technical writer/editor for industry, teaching my coworkers how to better use MS Word features -- how to use styles and formatting -- helped them provide me with better documents for editing, whereby I could spend more time on content instead of fixing format/style and other MS Word issues. I've been teaching my coworkers tips and tricks for using MS Office and Windows for years.

Let me help you get the most out of MS Word - to work smarter, not harder.

Microsoft PowerPoint

Let me teach you about MS PowerPoint basics so you can learn how to make professional presentations easily and quickly.

Reading

I'm a writer. This means I love to read. Let me share my love of reading with you to help you improve your ability to read, so you can love to read, too.

I am patient and trust I can help you improve your reading skills.

Writing

I've been a writer my whole life -- as a teenager, as a linguist and soldier for the US Army, and as a professional technical writer/editor for industry.

As a published poet & writer, I simply love to write.

What is the difference between a fair and excellent writer? An excellent writer is always willing to use a dictionary or other tools like "The Chicago Manual of Style" and knows when not to write, not to change text from a subject matter expert (SME), knows how to proofread... Read More

English

As a former linguist for the US Army, as a published poet, writer, and blogger, and as a technical writer for the private sector for many years, I had the opportunity to learn and apply excellent English skills in many forms - in writing, editing, reading, and speaking.

Let me help you improve your English skills.

ESL/ESOL

I was a former Vietnamese, Cambodian, German linguist for the US Army. I lived and worked outside of the United States for over 8 years - always enjoying the people, culture, language, and host country.

I have experience teaching ESL. It would be a pleasure to help you learn and improve your English skills.

Bible Studies

I am a Jew who believes that Jesus is the Messiah. I have been a teacher in the church for over 30 years. In Indiana, I was an ordained pastor through Dr. William Bumphus' church and a pastor for Jesus Inside Prison Ministry, where I was a bible teacher for the Jesus House, an after-care ministry, and a volunteer chaplain, conducting church, at Newcastle Correctional Facility in Newcastle, Indiana.

Linux

In 1968 while working at NSA as a young soldier, I saw my first computer (an IBM mainframe) -- it was love at first sight. I was a "geek" before the word was invented.

Computing has been part of my professional work and hobby as well.

I learned Linux for fun, to keep one of my old laptops running that could no longer run Windows. Linux is an alternate OS that I use for fun, as it is not used on business platforms in America as the main OS.

Linux is a computer... Read More

Microsoft Windows

As an experienced technical writer/editor for industry, being proficient with the tools of the trade come with the territory. Also, I've found that teaching my coworkers how to better use these tools helped them provide me with better documents for editing, whereby I could spend more time on content instead of fixing format/style and other MS Office issues. I've been teaching my coworkers tips and tricks for using MS Office and Windows for years. The better you know Microsoft Windows conventions,... Read More
