Susan has assisted with Excel training for Walter de Gruyter's Boston office on several occasions, both in group and individual formats and has helped immensely. We will continue to come to Susan with any Excel training needs.
Susan was very helpful and patient and I learned a lot!
Susan did a fabulous job leading a series of basic and intermediate group lessons for 6 people in our company. She really took time to learn about how we use Excel in our day-to-day business and our baseline knowledge of the software. From there, Susan developed thoughtful lesson plans for each session that included clear step-by-step instructions, practical exercises, and reference material that we could use during and after the trainings. She took time after each lesson to answer individual questions and provide follow-up instruction when needed. Each lesson was recorded, so our group could review any topics that we struggled with or use as refresher before the next session. Group lessons can sometimes be a challenge because the instructor has to manage different learning styles, personalities, experience levels, and business needs. Susan did a masterful job of handling all of these for our group and delivering thorough and engaging trainings that made an instant impact. She is knowledgeable, organized, patient, and congenial. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
