Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

Want to do more than just formatting and formulas? I teach you how to actually write macros for Excel through an immersive approach. I show you how to do things that most people believe are not possible to do with Excel. If you just want to learn the basics of Excel, I will be able to show you all you might need; but if you want to blow the minds of people you work with, I am the tutor you want.

I can teach you how to retrieve information from an interactive website and make a chart, all at a push of a button. Or generate a difference report for comparing comparable data. If you know how to program in C(++) (I can train you in that too...), I can show you how to write your own high speed complex functions that can be called directly from Excel.

I have assembled slide shows for economists using various animation effects. I instruct PowerPoint students on how to obtain good graphics and videos for their presentations for little or no cost. I also instruct students on integration of their presentations with Excel.

I have implemented a Tomcat application that generated dynamic web content. I have written extensive JavaScript routines to make for extensible web interface capabilities. I have made websites generate content dynamically on a browser-specific basis.

I have debugged the Open Source IMAP Mail Server called "Cyrus" using the "RATS" (Rough Auditing Tool for Security). I have written XLLs for Excel. I have written Outlook Addins using C.

Computer Programming

I have worked as a teacher's assistant for two years and instructed undergraduate and graduate students to write programs. My teaching methodology takes students through a series of algorithmic challenges, starting with simple ones (binary search, "game of life", etc.) and working their way up to more complex database projects. I have also worked as a corporate trainer, instructing employees not only how to learn specific programming languages (such as VBA and C++), but also how to tackle algorithms... Read More
