This is great channel. As someone whose employer has never thought it necessary to train us on Microsoft applications; you find yourself defaulting to the easier stuff you discover yourself. These tutorials have expanded my knowledge and productivity. As an over 55 year old I find these really a great place to expand my knowledge.

When it comes to clarity, practicality, applicability, functionality...and making the complex things easier to understand...no one can match Leila's tutorials. I'm impressed. Outstanding! I will be using these techniques on a presentation I'm working on for next week.

At first I thought your videos were just “another run of the mill series”, but I was totally wrong! You’ve helped me in every step of a project I’m working on in Excel, so a BIG thanks for your time and efforts! Much appreciated 🙏

[DemetriPanici]

This is something we all can use in our powerpoints! Loved this!

[annaescoton]

I owe almost everything I know in MS Applications to you Leila. Can't thank you enough. :)

Thanks a lot, Leila. I spontaneously made use of your "How to integrate YouTube-Videos (starting from a particular Minute) " right after watching into my lesson for today. Great tip! Have a nice weekend.
