Michael: Wake County tutor

Certified Tutor

I received my formal education at Virginia State University where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology. The majority of my experience with students has focused around the training and teaching (vs. tutoring) arena. For example, in the 80's I was assigned to the U.S. Army's Signal School where I regularly trained new West Point Academy graduates (fellow officers) in classroom settings. I was responsible for creating my own, vetted and approved training plans. For several years in the 90's, I taught classroom based, multi-tiered business software applications to large corporate clients for a nationally known computer learning company and as a freelance consultant. I also have an ongoing, 28 year IT career which affords me the privilege of teaching corporate customers on a regular basis. I'm offering tutoring in:

- Basic and Intermediate Microsoft Excel
- Basic Computer Literacy
- Mac Basic Computer Skills
- PC Basic Computer Skills
- Basic and Intermediate Logic Pro X

My favorite subjects are Basic and Intermediate Microsoft Excel because I love how the program crunches numbers and basic Mac or Windows Computer skills because successfully navigating these platforms is easier than people often imagine. The cornerstone of my teaching style is my ability to easily convey and translate technical concepts into easily understandable building blocks. I apply a patient, no pressure customer service oriented approach to teaching.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy composing music, motorcycling, current events (news) and watching documentaries.
