About me

I worked in offices for many years as the person people came to when a formula would not work. I loved that, and I noticed how often the problem was small: a missing bracket, a date that was really text, a column nobody had named. Almost nobody had been taught the basics. They had been handed a sheet and told to get on with it.

So I teach the basics, slowly and without jargon. Every Sunday I send one challenge with three hints, and the following week I work the answer through in full. The templates, the cheat sheet and the workbooks are the ones I use with my own students, and the two video courses are for anyone who wants to feel at home in a spreadsheet.
