30+ yrs using Excel for Fortune 500 retailers such as Macy's

Anthony V.

I have been using Excel as a Data Analyst for over 30 years. I've worked for Fortune 500 companies such as Macy's, The Children's Place, Ross Stores and Burlington Stores. During my 30 years, I became the "go-to" person for newly hired associates and established associates that needed more Excel help.

I volunteered to coach and teach many Excel skills to help these associates and realized I love to teach Excel. As someone who uses Excel in my professional and personal life, I find it exciting and love to watch others learn. I have received certifications in Excel as well as part of my career experience. This has allowed me to stay up-to-date with the more advanced functions. Besides the more basic features such as complex formulas, Pivot Tables, Slicers, Graphs and Charts, I have been building personal dashboards as well. This is a unique way to illustrate data that is much more understandable for general audiences and can help highlight key metrics of data more quickly.

I am now retired and started to tutor full time a year and a half ago. I have students from every age group, experience level and reason to learn; from 17 year old high school students to 70 year old retirees. I especially love working with beginners that might be intimated to start. I will make you feel comfortable and work at your pace. I will get to know what you need from Excel and work to provide lessons plans that meet your needs and budget. The lessons are based on building blocks with a strong foundation so you really learn WHY Excel does what it does as well as HOW to get it to work for you. My approach to tutoring is to start with the foundation and provide step-by-step practice exerices along the way. Together, we will complete these exercises and continue to build on them in more advanced ways if that is your goal. I can also help you work on a specific project that you may be struggling to complete. Together, we can learn and solve these tasks.
