About Robert

Bio

I've been teaching privately for over 25 years now. My specialties are Microsoft Excel, Accounting (often using Excel) and Acoustic Guitar. I also sometimes assist users with learning computer skills.

Teaching is not everyone's cup of tea, but it's something that I really enjoy. It's very rewarding to equip someone else with the knowledge and the skills needed to move forward in the field that he or she has chosen to pursue.

I've been teaching privately for over 25 years now. My specialties are Microsoft Excel, Accounting (often using Excel) and Acoustic Guitar. I also sometimes assist users with learning computer skills.

Teaching is not everyone's cup of tea, but it's something that I really enjoy. It's very rewarding to equip someone else with the knowledge and the skills needed to move forward in the field that he or she has chosen to pursue.

I've been working as an accountant since 1996. Accounting caught my fancy back when I was in high school - I found the its structural nature to be very appealing. Accounting also lends itself to utilizing the extremely powerful tool of the computer (in its various forms). I thrive in Excel - the best spreadsheet software out there, and one that is widely used in the accounting world.

I started playing the guitar in 1992, and have studied under several different teachers and at two different music colleges since then. I have been actively involved in church music (praise and worship) and in playing acoustic fingerstyle guitar. (Typically without vocals, but definitely not without exception.)

The aim of any skilled teacher (myself included) should be to make himself redundant. It's therefore my aim to equip you with the skills you need to learn new material without my assistance. While this is not a quick and easy project, it is nonetheless my goal. I look forward to working with you!

Financial Accounting

My first job out of high school was doing bookkeeping for a small retail store. Since then I've held several other jobs and I currently work as the accountant for a non-profit in North Carolina. I have a Master's degree in accounting and am working toward my CPA.
Microsoft Excel,

Microsoft Excel

Excel is quite possibly the best tool for anyone to work with numbers, but learning how to do so can be a challenge! Excel has over 500 functions one can use -- where to start?? I'm an Excel junkie! I've been working with spreadsheets for over 30 years now and I still don't feel that I know everything there is to know! Let me help you figure out how best to approach the project that you're working on now, plus let me enable you to tackle other projects in the future. I want to empower you to find your own way around this fantastic tool that we'll be learning about together.
Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word

It's fair to say that the majority of those who use a computer have used Microsoft Word. While it definitely has room for improvement, it's pretty much the standard by which all competitors are measured. I've been using Word for 20+ years and there are many tricks I'd like to show you.

Computer

I've been using computers extensively since back when color monitors were unheard of. Your computer can be a fantastic tool, both for work and for pleasure. I'd like to help you get more competent on yours. Let me know what you're struggling with and let me help you out.

Music

General Music,

General Music

I started learning the piano at a young age, but did not pursue the instrument very actively. (I wish I had!) I picked up the guitar at around age 14 and continue to play it to this day. I started teaching music about 30 years ago and have taught ever since. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in music from the California State University of Chico and furthered my studies (Master's degree completed) at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. I live and teach in North Carolina.
Guitar,

Guitar

I've been playing (and teaching) for close on 30 years. While I love to to play, I also find teaching to be very satisfying. I played the electric guitar for several years, but the instrument that I prefer is the acoustic guitar, particularly the steel string acoustic. It can be rewarding to make music by yourself; also rewarding to play with others. Similar skills are involved. It's never to early (or too late!) to start. Let me help you get a grip on how to think and how to play the guitar. I've had successful students young and old, so don't let your age be a deciding factor. Curiosity and determination are the deciding factors. Bring those and we'll get you headed in the right direction! I have my B.A. in Music from California State University and an M.S. degree from the University of North Carolina. I live and teach in North Carolina.
Music Theory

Music Theory

Music theory has always delighted me. It's comparable to looking under the hood of a car and actually understanding what happens there! I have a B.A. degree in music and I've taught music privately since 1995. I'd love to help you understand it more and put it to good use!

Knowledgeable and Understanding

Robert is an excellent tutor who is willing to meet the student where they are and is excellent at presenting material in a way that is easy to understand. Robert and I worked on an excel assignment together and he helped me fill in the gaps when I didn’t know how to proceed or what formula/function to use. I found his insights highly valuable and would definitely reach out to him again for a future project.

Robert was exceptional! My som took an intensive 200 level online summer class. It was basically a student self-taught class. 16 weeks compacted into 4. Without Robert’s tutoring I don’t think he would have passed the course. Robert accommodated my sons tutoring needs, worked with him on learning the concepts, taught him strategies, helped him with real world situations, and helped him prep for exams. He finished the class with a B! I am so glad we found Robert and I would highly recommend him!
