Do you want to learn?

I seek those who want to do it themselves. Generally I can get you to a point where you're comfortable with lingo, can look up help, ask questions in forums, and understand VBA that’s posted in a relatively short time. The more you study on your own, the faster you'll learn. As you're ready, I'll give you links to resources that will help you soar.

Many get on the road with less than 10 hours of my time. Each session lasts an hour or two, however long you can keep absorbing. I make notes in NotePad on your computer as we cover things, and give links to learn what you need to know or use. We connect when you're ready again.

Learn with your data and files, as your project also gets done. Ask for help when you need me, and I'll be there ~

Hi, I am crystal.

What can I teach you?

Anything I know (smile). Folks usually contact me to get better with Access, which can involve a myriad of other skills, depending on what you want your application to do.

Tutoring and Team-Development

My favorite thing to do is empower developers, and help those who need to develop get there! ... whilst building an awesome application.

Are you looking for someone to open your database, spreadsheet and, whatever files you have ... and work along with you?

You and I become a team -- you with business knowledge and me with automation skills. Most of my current training is one-on-one while your application is being built, or your video is being done, or your book being made ready for print, or ....

I help with whatever I can, and if you step out of my expertise, and I can't learn what you need to know, so I can teach you, I'll direct you to another expert if I can.

I share lots of tools and code, produce videos, write articles, answer questions on forums, present at conferences and to user groups. Great if you're here because you've seen some of my work and you like the way I teach. It's my goal for you to roll up your sleeves and take the reins. I'll have your back ~

Group Training

I teach to groups remotely as well, upon occasion; if there is a way for the participants to interact during the training. Inspired delivery needs good communication, positive feedback, and time to prepare. With groups, there is an outline, and sometimes step-by-step curricula too. I've spent lots of days teaching in classrooms, where I had opportunity to be face-to-face and get infused with ideas about what could be done with new knowledge. Ideas from others was, and still is, important. Applying new knowledge to tasks at hand brings questions; I want to hear them, and answer them ... or at least give direction. Although training is remote, it can still be personal.

Lunch -n- Learn

Do you want an interesting presentation for a lunch-n-learn at your company? Time afterward for Q&A, questions and answers, for those curious minds.

Community Presentations

Are you part of a user group, organization, or club where folks are gathering to freely share knowledge? Do you have access to a conference room with ability to receive a remote presentation? There are a number of topics I can share about.

Development Experience

Here are some of the applications I have built, and helped others to build.
