Extremely Helpful

In the last 6 months I have relied on Dan multiple times for guidance on a complex Access application I am developing. He is very astute and quickly recalls the business process behind the app, even after several weeks between our sessions. His knowledge and insight have been invaluable to me in resolving roadblocks I've encountered in building the app.

Highly Effective Tutor

I am extremely satisfied with the insight and knowledge I gained from Dan as my tutor for Microsoft Access. I have been trying to build an app for a customer's business and with my limited knowledge of Access I was stuck in a few areas. I was amazed at how quickly Dan was able to understand the business process behind the app. With his expertise he guided me in resolving my problems and taught me what I needed to know about Access. Dan is a patient instructor and it was truly a pleasure to work with him.

Highly Skilled and Insightful Tutor

Dan is exactly the tutor I need.  His keen insight and focus enabled him to very quickly get up to speed on the intricate business process behind the new Access database I am creating. He showed me how to resolve some design problems I was stuck on, and explained the reasons behind his suggestions (he gave me some fish AND a fishing pole)!  Dan is an excellent teacher.
