Teaching Style

I have been a trainer off and on throughout my career. I have been the go-to person at work for several years. I am a visual learner. If you can communicate what it is you want to learn, and I know it, I can teach it. I typically fly by the seat of my pants.

My Hobbies

Genealogy, Background

Other Comments

The only person who can't learn from me is one that does not ask questions or thinks they already know what I am trying to teach. If you already know it, save us both some time and don't contact me. Thank you. (I will add credentials later, this is only the beginning.) 4/16/2012

Subject Commentary

Graphic Design This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
This is a course on graphics that can be molded to your preferred software of choice. This course is valued at the premium rate of $45 hr, and assumes that you have a basic understanding of typesetting parameters and measures. If you do not have this basic knowledge, the learning curve will bite into your actual software application tutorial time.
Microsoft Access Proficiency: Experienced
Advanced knowledge. Although, I have a basic knowledge of programming tools and applications in this software.
Microsoft Excel Proficiency: Experienced
I've used this software to integrate inserts and tables into other softwares. I've had intermediate to advanced course instruction. It was used briefly during my 30 year career. The session rate for this course is the lowest rate for my instruction.
Microsoft Office Proficiency: I know the basics
Some experience depending on what you want or need to learn.
