About Rick


Bio

I am a recently retired accountant and financial analyst, having worked with several well-known Pittsburgh area firms. Although accountants are frequently dull and have a difficult time communicating, I am an exception to the rule. I love numbers, and my enthusiasm is contagious.

I believe Excel is the single greatest piece of software ever written. I use it for everything from simple record keeping to complex financial modeling. I love to show people how to get the most out of this...

I believe Excel is the single greatest piece of software ever written. I use it for everything from simple record keeping to complex financial modeling. I love to show people how to get the most out of this wonderful tool. Whether you are a novice or a sophisticated Excel user, I can help you use Excel to make better sense of all the data that surrounds us. If you want help balancing your checkbook, comparing interest rates on loans, or even just managing large quantities of data, Excel is probably the tool for you. I can show you how.

My teaching style is student-focused. We will determine what you want to learn, and our lessons will be tailored to help you achieve your specific goals. We will work at a pace that suits you, and we will never move on from one topic to the next until you are satisfied.

Microsoft Excel

I have used Excel extensively in both my professional and in my personal life. I have also taught continuing education classes in Excel. Whether you are a novice or an expert, there are always new features of this program that you can discover. Learning Excel requires a hands-on approach. You will work at a computer, and I will guide you through the process of setting up new Excel spreadsheets and/or modifying your existing Excel spreadsheets to accomplish your goals. I am well versed in all versions of Excel.

Extremely Good Teacher

I am an adult and had no previous experience with a tutor and was anxious about getting good help. I had the most relaxing time with the three hours I spent with Rick learning everything that I needed, plus more, with no stress. He was very prepared and communicated the lesson well adapting to my learning style. I have worked with trainers throughout the years in a professional environment, and I highly recommend Rick.
