Practical Excel from scratch: Learn how to use it for work

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 20 € /h

Do you really want to learn Excel and be able to use it in your work, studies, or personal projects?

I help you learn Excel in a practical, simple way, adapted to your level, from zero to an intermediate/advanced level.

In the classes we will work with exercises and real situations so that you not only learn what each function does, but also when and why to use it.

We can work on, among other things:
• Formulas and functions
• XLOOKUP and other search functions
• Tables and filters
• Pivot tables
• Charts and reports
• Data cleaning and organization
• Power Query
• Dashboards and indicators
• Automation of repetitive tasks

We can also work directly on a file you need to resolve, explaining step by step how to do it so you can repeat it yourself.

The classes are especially geared towards students, workers, freelancers and people who want to improve their Excel skills for the workplace.

My goal is for you to finish each class knowing how to do something you didn't know how to do before and, above all, that you can apply it on your own.

Extra information

No prior knowledge is required. We'll work with practical exercises, and if you'd like, we can also use your own Excel files to solve specific problems and learn how to do it on your own. All you need is a computer with Excel.

Are you finding accounting difficult to understand or do you need help preparing for an exam?

I teach accounting in a practical way, adapted to your level, starting from the basics and progressing to more complete exercises.

We will work through step-by-step exercises so that you understand not only what entry you have to make, but why it is done and how it affects the annual accounts.

We can work on, among other things:
• Basic accounting concepts
• General Accounting Plan
• Accounting entries

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life, to know how to identify digital traps, and to use Word, Excel, etc. without difficulty.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

Would you like to be better at using your computer and feel more confident using Word, Excel, and PowerPoint?

Do you struggle to create a well-presented document, organize information in Excel, or prepare a presentation? Have you heard about Artificial Intelligence, but aren't quite sure how to use it in your daily life?

This class is designed especially for adults who want to learn or improve their Microsoft Office skills, without needing any prior experience.

The idea is simple: learn by doing, with clear explanations, practical exercises and examples that you can actually apply in your work, studies or personal life.

We will work with:

-Word: creating and editing documents, formatting, tables, images, professional documents, letters, resumes and other common tasks.

-Excel: data organization, tables, formulas, basic functions, filters, graphs and tools that will help you work faster and more efficiently.

-PowerPoint: creating attractive presentations, organizing content, images, design and resources to better communicate your ideas.

-Artificial Intelligence: we will learn to use AI tools in a simple and practical way to write, summarize, organize information, generate ideas, improve documents and save time on certain tasks.

It's not about memorizing menus or learning complicated computer skills. We'll go step by step, starting with what you need and adapting to your level.

The classes are individual and personalized, so we can focus especially on what interests you most: improving your professional skills, preparing for an interview or a resume, organizing your documents, learning Excel from scratch, making presentations, using AI, or simply gaining autonomy and confidence in front of the computer.

And something I consider especially important: no question is too basic. If you've been thinking for a while, "I should know how to do this, but I don't know how," this could be a good time to learn.

Because learning about computers is not just about knowing how to use a program.

It's about gaining autonomy, saving time, and feeling that technology works in your favor, not the other way around.

Does math seem abstract to you? Do physics formulas confuse you? Does your code not do what you want it to?

Derivatives, equations, vectors, algorithms... Behind these intimidating concepts lie simple, visual ideas. My goal: to help you understand them, not just apply them.

These subjects rely on tools: equations, functions, forces, data structures, that may seem difficult at first glance but make perfect sense once you visualize them concretely. That’s the level I’ll help you reach, using diagrams, analogies, and interactive animations.

I offer tutoring in Math, Physics, and Computer Science, from middle school through college, to help you:
- overcome roadblocks and regain confidence in these subjects,
- prepare for exams (middle school exams, high school graduation exams, midterms, entrance exams),
- make progress on your projects (homework, lab reports, coding, digital projects, etc.).

Each lesson is tailored to your needs: we’ll go over difficult concepts, work through exercises together, and I’ll teach you strategies to become self-sufficient.

Message me to schedule your first lesson: let’s make the abstract clear!
