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.

Computer Science concept taught by Pooja
Pooja mentored Tessa on using pivot tables and visualizations in Excel to analyze different datasets. They worked with AI-generated sentiment data and data related to focus group participation and sustainable livelihood projects. Pooja guided Tessa through data formatting, pivot table creation, and chart generation, emphasizing asking insightful questions to drive analysis and choosing appropriate visualization methods. They plan to continue exploring data and visualizations in future sessions.

Concatenation for Timeline Analysis
Data Validation
Pivot Table Data Arrangement
Pivot Table Slicers
Exploratory Data Analysis
Pooja guided Tessa through the process of creating and manipulating pivot tables in Excel using sample datasets. Tessa practiced creating pivot tables, filtering data, and changing value field settings. Pooja assigned Tessa practice questions using the mental health dataset and scheduled a follow-up session to work with Tessa's data.

Pivot Tables
Pooja assisted Tessa with cleaning and preparing an Excel dataset for analysis. They worked on standardizing village names, implementing data validation, and addressing potential issues with pivot tables due to duplicated data. Pooja will send Tessa a revised data format and a plan for future sessions focusing on exploratory data analysis and visualization; someone will contact Tessa to schedule and pay for the next session.

Data Cleaning Importance
Find and Replace
Data Validation Lists
Pooja is teaching Tessa Excel skills to clean and visualize data from a project database. They worked on identifying and correcting inconsistencies in the 'village' and 'implementation period' columns using functions like TRIM, LEFT, and VALUE, and creating helper columns. Tessa was assigned homework to clean other columns and implement data validation with drop-down lists, and Pooja will follow up with instructions on removing a specific error in the next session.
