James

Certified Tutor

With over 30 years of experience in data analysis and consulting across business and social sciences, I bring a wealth of real-world knowledge to Excel tutoring. Throughout my career, I've helped organizations make sense of complex data, and I've also taught data analysis in the marketing research field, so I know how to translate technical concepts into clear, practical lessons.

I hold an MBA with a strong emphasis on research and analysis, and I enjoy showing others how to unlock the power of Excel. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering critical thinking and real-world application, enabling students to connect theoretical knowledge with practical skills. I am committed to nurturing each student's unique learning style, and I find great joy in witnessing their growth and success.

To me, Excel isn't just a toolit's fun. If you enjoy solving puzzles, you'll find that working in Excel can be just as satisfying. Whether you're learning the basics, tackling advanced formulas, or exploring data visualization, I'll help you build skills that make your work easier and more rewarding.
