Instructor Details

Steve McDonald

Learning is easier with the right tools and instruction. In every one of my courses I take you step-by-step through the tools and knowledge you need to accomplish your goals. 

My talent is taking complex subjects (like Excel, Access and Photoshop) and making them simple to learn. I wasn't always good at technology. There was a time when I didn't even know how to correctly turn a computer on and off. But over the past 20 years I've dedicated myself to mastering technology. Now I'm proud to call myself a self-taught tech geek. 

I'm a geek who still speaks the language of normal human beings. I don't use a lot of jargon and fancy words that the average person doesn't understand.

I understand how frustrating it can be when the instructor goes too fast or leaves out critical steps in the learning process. That's why I make sure to clearly demonstrate each step for you visually, so you can follow along starting from the very beginning and going along until you've reached mastery.

I am here to guide you on your way to success. You can contact me at any step of the way for assistance. Let me know when you're struggling with a concept and I'll get right back to you to keep you moving in the right direction.

I'm always happy to help.  I believe in you, and I'm here to support you in your learning process.

I really like the step-by step explanations of all the tabs and ribbons in Excel. It is great for beginners. I also like that the instructor showed how to use Ctrl +Tab to navigate back and forth through the worksheets in the Excel practice file.

By Lenin Mzwakhe Ndlovu on 7/24/2026

The Excel course was very informative and practical. It improved my understanding of spreadsheets, formulas, data organization, and reporting. The lessons were easy to follow, and I gained skills that I can apply immediately in my daily work. I now feel more confident using Excel to improve accuracy, save time, and analyze data effectively. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to strengthen their Excel skills for personal or professional development.

Taking this course was a valuable experience for me. It challenged me to think differently and helped me develop both my practical skills and theoretical understanding. The content was well structured, and I appreciated how the lessons built on each other

The instructor broke the course into perfectly-sized sections. There is never too much information in one lesson, but I still feel like I'm accomplishing something every time I finish a lesson.
