Philip: Long Beach tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a Data Analyst and BI Developer with several years of experience using tools like Power BI and Excel to solve complex, real-world data challenges. With an academic background in Geographic Information Systems, I've contributed to a wide range of analytical projects that required data visualization skills, advanced Excel use, dashboard design, and automated reporting. My experience includes training both technical and non-technical audiences, and I bring that same clarity and structure to tutoring, focusing on practical skills, real-world examples, and adapting to each student's pace and learning style.

Recently, I led the development and deployment of a public-facing Power BI dashboard for a U.S. government agency, a project that also involved coaching colleagues on how to use Power BI effectively for decision-making. As your tutor, you'll be learning from an experienced Power BI specialist and advanced Microsoft Excel user, who understands how to connect technical data-centric concepts with real-world needs, whether you're a student, researcher, consultant, or employee. I'm also a lifelong chess player and enjoy teaching the game as a way to build focus, strategic thinking, and problem-solving, skills that apply well beyond the board. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen advanced techniques in Power BI, Excel, or chess, I'll help you build the skills and confidence to succeed.
