  • So grateful, as a 67 year old I really appreciate your program. It is very difficult for us oldies who was born in the industrial age, to adapt to this new way of doing things in this IT age, especially coming from a disadvantaged background. Thank You so very much.
  • I've worked on computer all my adult life and received lots of training over the years. I'm now 70 and retired 4 yrs ago. I was in finance so have a thorough knowledge of excel, but my word was a little rusty. I'm currently writing a family history book and needed to polish my skills. My compliments to you for your clear & concise tutorial, very professional, your voice and instructions are clear & concise, straight to the point. Thank you. Anyone, regardless of skill level should find your videos easy to follow. Viewing from Ontario, Canada.
  • I took a beginner course for excel and i left more confused then when i went in,10 years later i watch this video and i learned more in this hour then hours in a classroom, thank you
  • I’m so grateful that I found your videos; I’m changing careers at 54 yrs old and I have almost no computer skills. I graduated college, however, it was when only (geeks) used computers. Boy were we the idiots. Also, I can tell that you are a great professor. Your methodology is brilliant not only for beginners but also for experts. (I’ve watched a little of your advanced Word videos.) Thank you again for taking the time to share your expertise for free; not everyone has the extra time resources to enroll in a classroom-type setting. Once again, thank you. 💪🏻

    I am 65 and still working as an office Manager. Thank you for producing these instructional videos on Microsoft Word and Excel. Your explanation is so clear, concise and easily learned that I have saved all your tutorials on Word and Excel in my bookmarks. I look forward to any additional tutorials you produce.
  • The description is awesome, clearly elaborated. Any layman can follow it with a lot of ease.
  • Thank you very much for your time and the tutorials. I am 69 years and just starting but I am impressed by the approach. I hope to learn a lot from you. Thanks and God bless you
  • I am expressing my gratitude for the time and effort you put in this course, you really make it so easy to understand with your tranquil attitude. Thanks again.
  • Being a student teacher who is preparing for my IT Skills for teachers' examination, this was very very helpful. I'm grateful.

    This is the best Microsoft Word course ever made, professional, well-produced, and right to the point. Great work and I hope that both the intermediate and advanced courses are uploaded in just one file, it makes it much easier to learn. Thank you very much for your great work.

    You are one of the best online teachers I have ever come across. Thanks very much, your lesson is very easy to understand.

    So happy to find this channel. I’m 62 and have returned to school for accounting/business and I have used Microsoft Works and Open Office to a minimal degree before but I haven’t used a computer in probably ten years at least. I haven’t had need to and I do everything on my phone. So this is great. It really helps cement what I’ve been learning. The reading for the class is extensive and I cannot do it all, so I always worry I’m missing something important. However, most of everything we need to know is best learned by actually doing it, so these videos really help. I could follow along on my own laptop if I felt I needed to but being familiarized with it thru the exercises we’ve had to do, I don’t need to do that. I’m just watching to kind of get what I’ve learned implanted and as you mention certain features or other videos you have that I need more understanding of or have an interest in expounding on, I jot them down to explore later. Now I’m going to go watch the one you just mentioned at the close in video. I have my first quiz to take today and exam tomorrow and I’m so nervous about it! So this extra help is a godsend! Thank you!

    Thank you so much for this excellent teaching video! I especially appreciate the practice document to download if needed. I was wondering what I was going to use to practice, and you solved that issue for me.
  • @ShahidaQaiser
    Awesome. Great help. I am a user of MS word for last 10 years but not actually aware of all its tools. Thanks to the Guide . I feel happy today to learn so much and simultaneously i am practicing on a document opened on Desktop as well. Now going to listen to Microsoft excel video

    I really needed this! I’ve been so afraid of Word. You taught this old dog a new trick! Thank you!
  • @sume6103
    This is excellent! I need to polish some of my Word skills as I am in the market for a new job. I have used PowerPoint and Excel more frequently in my previous roles so this is super helpful. I will look for PowerPoint tutorial as well! I absolutely love that the instructor is going at a reasonable pace and I don't have to pause and rewind! Thank you so much! You are awesome!!
