Approved Subjects

Biostatistics

Biostatistics

Biostatistics uses statistical methods to interpret data in medicine and life sciences. I help students understand the quantitative side, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, correlations, and regressions using clear, step-by-step explanations in Excel. Together, we review how to select and apply the right tests, interpret p-values and confidence levels, and link statistical results to real findings. All my sessions are hands-on and practical, centered on mastering the calculations and logic behind each method. My goal is to help you gain confidence in analyzing data accurately and explaining results with clarity.
Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I bring over 25 years of experience in business consulting and data analysis for clients and corporations. My work focuses on transforming raw data into meaningful insights using Excel, Power Query, Power Pivot, Access and Power BI. As an independent business consultant, I remain actively involved in the field of analytics and share that real-world perspective with my students. In our sessions, we cover how to clean, organize, and model data, create clear visualizations, and apply analytical methods such as trend analysis and forecasting. My approach is practical and project-based—ideal for professionals who need stronger analytics skills or students who want to connect classroom theory with real business application
Data Science

Data Science

I have over two decades of experience in business analytics, operations, and systems management, with extensive use of Excel, Power BI, and Microsoft Access for data analysis and reporting. I have helped clients design and build relational databases in Access, including projects that integrated an Excel front-end with an Access back-end to improve data entry, reporting, and automation. My consulting work also includes developing and optimizing data cleaning and transformation (ETL) processes using Power Query and VBA to prepare and manage large datasets efficiently. I apply data science principles such as normalization, schema design, and data modeling to ensure data integrity and usability. In addition to my professional work, I tutor MBA and graduate students in data analysis and business modeling, helping them connect effective data management to better business decisions.
MBA

MBA

As a seasoned tutor with a focus on adult learners, I help MBA students succeed in their quantitative courses, including Excel, statistics, operations management, data modeling, and analytics. I’m glad to see Wyzant now recognize the unique needs of MBA learners with this dedicated category. Whether you’re pursuing a full-time, part-time, or executive MBA, I understand the challenge of balancing demanding coursework, tight deadlines, and complex topics. Over the years, I’ve supported dozens of students in building confidence and mastering their assignments. My goal is to make each session clear, efficient, and relevant to real business decisions. Whether you need help for one project or consistent guidance throughout the term, I’m here to help you navigate your MBA journey.
Microsoft Access

Microsoft Access

If you’re new to Microsoft Access or need help improving an existing database, I’m happy to guide you. With over 20 years of experience in systems and database management, I help beginners and intermediate users build confidence working with Access. We cover how to organize data into tables, create relationships, run queries, and design forms and reports that simplify data entry and analysis. My sessions are clear and practical, focused on helping you understand how Access fits into the broader world of data management and analytics. Whether you’re building your first database or managing company data, I’ll help you get the most from your Access experience.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I’m a certified Microsoft Excel Expert (MOS 2013 & 2016) and independent Excel trainer with over 25 years of business experience. I teach Excel from intermediate to advanced levels, including Power Query, Power Pivot/DAX, and VBA automation, on both Mac and PC. As a two-time attendee of the Global Excel Summit in London, I stay connected with the latest trends in data modeling. My sessions are practical and project-based, whether for professionals building dashboards or students applying Excel to data analysis, finance, or operations cases.
Probability

Probability

Probability is the foundation of statistics and one of the most fascinating areas of applied math. I help students understand its core principles, independent and dependent events, conditional probability, and Bayes’ theorem using clear, step-by-step examples. We build probability tables together to simplify complex questions and explore combinations, permutations, and Pascal’s triangle to see how these ideas connect. My goal is to make probability logical, intuitive, and even enjoyable.
Project Management

Project Management

With over 25 years experience in supply chain and consulting industry, I help students gain confidence in their project and operations management classes; - Project Management topics: PERT, CPM, critical path, project costing, Agile vs waterfall, Gantt and burn-down charts - Supply Chain topics: MRP, BOM, MPS, capacity planning (level, chase, etc.) - Operations Management: Inventory mgt (EOQ, ROP), newsvendor models, queuing models. Additionally, I tutor related subjects such as statistics and data analytics. While all my tutoring is done in Excel, I can support students with different software packages.
Statistics

Statistics

As a chemical engineer, I’ve always had a knack for numbers, yet I remember how confusing statistics first felt. Back in my graduate days, the subject seemed abstract and hard to apply. Only later did I discover how valuable statistics truly are for data analysis and business decisions. Today, I help students at all levels make sense of statistics through a practical, step-by-step approach. We cover quantitative and qualitative methods, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regressions, and ANOVA. I also explain how to interpret results from tests such as normality or post-hoc analysis. All my tutoring is done in Excel, but I can also support other software tools. The world of statistics is fascinating and full of discovery. I look forward to sharing that enthusiasm with you.
Visual Basic

Visual Basic

Hi, my name is Yves; I am an independent business consultant in Austin, TX specializing in finance and supply chain. I help companies streamline their operations by reducing dramatically time to create their reports. I have learned VBA as most people have: on the job. Over the course of my career, I have had to create reports, manipulate large data sets, some times daily. Very quickly, I learned the VBA was going to be my friend. While coding involves a little upfront investment, the returns can be substantial; I have been able to achieve productivity gains of over 1000% with VBA, i.e. freeing up 90% of my time for more strategic projects. Today, I continue to enjoy coding and look forward to sharing my learnings. With me, you will learn basic elements of coding, variables, inputs, outputs, If statements, loops, importing and exporting data, how to create reports, etc. While I work primarily in Excel, the VBA language is compatible across all MS products (Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook). VBA is a journey; there is always more to learn daily; so be patient with yourself, and most importantly have fun!

Exceptional Tutoring Experience with Yves

I recently had the incredible opportunity to work with Yves, a tutor who stands out as an exceptional expert in the realms of simulation and data analytics, specifically tailored for MBA students. Words alone cannot fully capture the invaluable knowledge and insights he brings to the table, but I'll attempt to summarize my experience. From our very first session, it was immediately clear that Yves possesses a profound understanding of simulation models and data analytics. His expertise is not just theoretical, but deeply practical, which allowed me to grasp complex concepts quickly and efficiently. He seamlessly bridges the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world application, making each session both intellectually stimulating and profoundly enlightening. What truly sets him apart, however, is his ability to tailor his teaching approach to my specific needs and learning style. He is incredibly perceptive and quickly identifies any areas of confusion or difficulty, addressing them with patience and clarity. His explanations are always crystal clear, comprehensive, and enriched with relevant examples that resonate with my MBA coursework and beyond. Moreover, Yves's passion for the subject matter is contagious. He consistently introduces cutting-edge tools and techniques, ensuring that I am not only prepared for my current studies but also equipped with skills that will be valuable long after my MBA program. His deep well of knowledge and continuous dedication to staying updated in the field inspire great confidence in his tutoring capabilities. Another aspect that makes Yves exceptional is his excellent responsiveness. Even when we are not in session, he promptly replies to my messages and offers timely answers to my questions. This level of support has been immensely helpful in keeping me on track and addressing any doubts or challenges as they arise. Yves also prioritizes my mental health and works to ease any anxiety I might have. His supportive and understanding approach ensures that I always feel comfortable and confident in our sessions. This holistic focus on both academic excellence and mental well-being has been incredibly beneficial. Without a doubt, I plan to continue utilizing Yves's tutoring services even beyond my MBA journey. His guidance has significantly boosted my confidence and competence in handling complex data analytics tasks and simulations, and I am convinced that with his continued support, I will excel in my future professional endeavors.
