About your tutor

Hi there! I’m Pooja, and I work in a tech company where Excel is a huge part of my daily life — from building dashboards and tracking invoices to organizing project data and generating reports. Along the way, I realized how powerful Excel can be once you understand how to use it properly — and that’s what made me want to teach. I love simplifying complicated tools and helping people feel more confident. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to do more with your spreadsheets, I’m here to guide you with patience, clarity, and real-world examples. My goal is to make Excel feel less intimidating and more empowering — so you can use it with ease in school, work, or life.

Programming class overview

I’ve always believed that learning should feel empowering, not intimidating — especially when it comes to tools like Excel that many people find overwhelming at first. I know that feeling well, because I’ve been there myself. I didn’t learn Excel in a classroom — I learned it on the job, solving real business problems, building reports from scratch, and figuring things out through trial and error. And that’s exactly why I love teaching it now — because I know what it’s like to start from zero and slowly realize how powerful Excel can be once you understand the logic behind it. I started teaching Excel because I realized that many of my colleagues, friends, and even managers were struggling with it — not because it was too hard, but because no one ever explained it to them in a clear, simple way. That’s what I love doing. I enjoy breaking things down, using real-world examples, and seeing that moment when someone says, “Oh! That actually makes sense now.” I believe that everyone can learn Excel — they just need someone to guide them without judgment, at their pace, with patience. Whether you’re a student trying to complete an assignment, a professional managing weekly reports, or someone exploring data analysis for the first time, I tailor my sessions to your level and your goals. I cover everything from the basics — formatting, formulas, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP — to more intermediate topics like Pivot Tables, dashboards, and beginner-friendly automation using macros.
