I would highly recommend Scott. He assisted me with Excel & PowerPoint instruction/ assistance. I found him to be well-informed, patient, & able to meet the needs I presented to him when building charts/graphs/PowerPoint presentations I needed for my job. Scott was flexible in scheduling our time & was willing to work around my work schedule. He was punctual and professional.

(This review is by my wife.)
Background: We brought Monica in to tutor Spanish to my husband and children in preparation for a trip to visit family in South America. I was raised in a Spanish-speaking home in the US by my Bolivian-born parents. I am bilingual, but did not formally study Spanish. My husband, an engineer, had never studied languages in school and previous attempts to learn Spanish were frustrating and unsuccessful. My 3 children, ages 12, 9, and 6, are bilingual, but at decreasing fluency as the family grew, due to the increasing predominance of English in their daily lives due to school, friends, etc.
Tutoring with Monica: We agreed with Monica to establish 3 back-to-back lessons in our home once per week: 30 minutes for my 6 y.o. son, followed by 60 minutes for my 9 and 12 y.o. daughters (together), and then 60 minutes for my husband. I was impressed by how quickly Monica won over my children as she assessed them. She then began to bring in and develop weekly lessons and materials targeting their various ages and specific needs. Because my children have heard Spanish every day, but rarely wrote it or spoke it outside the home, their needs were unique from those starting from scratch, or in Spanish-language classes or environments. My family has had about 6 lessons, and I am pleased so far with Monica's preparation and approach to each of my family members. My children are listening, reading and writing more in Spanish, and--most importantly--Monica appears to have raised their confidence and has them feeling less reluctant to speak to me in Spanish. She is filling in the gaps that I did not know how to teach, and provides structure in the process. We definitely recommend Monica as a Spanish-language tutor.
