PMP Exam Prep.

Mac is very experienced in the field of Project Management and it shows through his teaching. Mac was more than just technically proficient and prepared for each tutoring session, he was also flexible, willing and able to break down more difficult sections until I understood the content, and knew the material covered from both a book standpoint as well as an experience standpoint. If I couldn't make an appointment he was easy to reschedule with, if I needed time before or after work he was able to meet me at whatever time I needed. I would recommend Mac above anyone else because after going through a handful of other tutors Mac was the only one who knew all of the material or was willing to take extra time to ensure I knew the material before ending the session. It is directly because of his teaching help that I passed the PMP exam.

Mac is my new “Go to Expert” for everything MS Project!

I’m part of a construction team working on a critical US Air Force project at Kirtland Air Force Base. The AF team of engineers was demanding a comprehensive schedule showing precise daily activities in both Gantt and Critical Path in a Microsoft Project and PDF format for both the overall project and bi-weekly 3-week look aheads for the entire duration of the project. Mac took the time to review the overall project, discussing all the activities, assisting in properly sequencing them and getting them into MS Project. Thank you again Mac for all your expert help and for being patient with teaching me how to use MS Project to control and manage complex military construction projects. You are Greatly Appreciated!

Mac is practical and it was easy to understand QuickBooks. He explained the A/R cycle clearly. This included the complete cycle from creating a new customer to recording a bank deposit.

Knowledgeable and patient. And also able to keep up. When I shifted gears once I got something he did not dwell on the old points. Outstanding. I will definitely use again.
