Tawanna was extremely knowledgeable. She worked with me to prep the lesson for my colleagues and I based on our feedback. She came prepared, was extremely easy to understand and gave plenty of time for questions. I would definitely recommend her!

Detailed and very patient

This was an extremely good use of my time. Tawanna Is very knowledgeable, professional and super helpful. I feel like she has saved me multiple hours of future stress. I would highly recommend this Instructor.

Tawanna was excellent! She made me feel at ease with excel and took her time. Loved it

I have enjoyed training with Tawanna. She is organized and patient. Tawanna checks throughout the lesson to verify my understanding before moving forward. I have found the suggested practice homework valuable in shoring up my knowledge base. I look forward to future training with Tawanna.

I had reached out to Tawanna to help out with very directed requests for certain excel functions. Tawanna was very open to listening what my true needs were and helped sort the issue at hand. She truly goes above and beyond, and is a great tutor!!

I had my first lesson today. It was great , Tawanna created a lesson plan that was fit specific for my experience level. She’s thorough but keeps a good pace to make the most of the session. Fantastic first impression.

Tawanna is an amazing teacher. She was so nice and took her time explaining the lesson to me. She is an absolute professional! I look forward to my other learning sessions. Thanks so much Tawanna!

Tawanna is amazing! She is very professional. She is an expert in Microsoft Excel. She helped me in a pinch. She taught me all I needed to know about Power Query. She took a lot of time before the class to chat with me and make sure she understood what I needed. You will be a 100% satisfied with her ability to teach you. I will purchase more classes with her when needed.

Tawanna was fabulous! She was very flexible with her scheduling and on short notice was able to provide a lesson plan that fit our company's needs. Our class size was rather large (35 people per class) and all class members had a different level of expertise with Excel. I can honestly say that even the most experienced class member learned something from Tawanna. She was patient, engaging and truly an expert in her field! I would not hesitate to book Tawanna for any future Excel needs.

I appreciate Tawanna's follow through with the Excel lessons I've received thus far. If there was a better way to do something than what we discussed during our session, she followed up with an alternate option and to ensure what I received the help I required. I look forward to additional sessions with Tawanna.

I booked lessons for my 18-year-old son to learn Excel before entering college in the fall. After one lesson of learning the basics, my son is eager to dive deeper! Tawanna is A+!!

Tawanna is a fantastic instructor! She is super kind, patient, and flexible and has taught my team and I all sorts of helpful tools, tips, and tricks that we never knew of before.

I was actually nervous about taking an excel lesson, but after my first lesson with Tawanna I knew I had finally met the perfect excel teacher for me. Tawanna is kind, and has a very relaxed style of teaching. I am finally confident that I can learn excel. If you have been on the sidelines about learning excel, please take a class with Tawanna, you will feel confident that you cna do this.

I learned far more than I expected. Great lesson!

Tawanna takes her time explaining each step, and then makes sure you understand the "why" behind what you're doing. She's professional, the class started right on time, and I'm about to sign up for more Excel and PowerPoint lessons right now. Thanks, Tawanna!
Tawanna is an amazing teacher- learned so much in the first session
Can’t wait for my next lesson

Very patient and helpful

Tawanna is AMAZING. She is so patient and caters the lesson to exactly what you need. She really goes the extra mile and takes pride in what she does. Super knowledgeable AND personable. Thanks, Tawanna!

Tawana, was absolutely fantastic. I have never worked in power point before, she made it very easy. Showed me all the shortcuts, which allowed me to navigate much easier. Extremely knowledgeable. Well worth the time and money.

Tawanna is a great teacher! She is very knowledgeable and patient. On the very first lesson she helped me to organizei and manage tons of my work emails and documents, that never stop! Cant wait to take more classes!

Was a great first lesson! She was super patient and answered all my questions. Looking forward to the next lesson and learning more.

Tawannna was so patient with my lack of experience taking online classes. My intention was to brush up on my excel skills for a new job I am up for. She not only answered all of my questions throughly...she showed me short cuts I could use to make me look like a rockstar! I feel confident with what I have learned. And I would certainly recommend her to others I know looking to sharpen-up their skills.

Extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher. With great understanding of what is required in the corporate world. The lesson was well organized and concise.

Lessons went as planned

she is remarkable in her clarity and teaching method: every step is in right direction and very well mapped out lesson. in my first class her 11 steps were so clear that I was very happy to have her as my teacher. on the personal level is kind, patient and approachable. if it begins well, I am sure it well end well.
Than you for giving me Tawanna as my computer teacher.
I looking forward to seeing her for my next class. I just can't wait!

I'm a former teacher so I recognize a great teacher. Tawana is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and explains the tasks simply and understandably. First she shows you and then she has you do it yourself to make sure you understood and mastered the skill. I'm really looking forward to our next lesson.

She is a wonderful teacher, on time and knowledgeable.

Knows her stuff. Great service. Big help!!!
