How did it all start?
I am a passionate teacher of MS EXCEL, Power Query and VBA. I graduated with honors in didactics of mathematics and physics. During my university studies, I never doubted, that I would become a professional educator. Unfortunately, when I started to teach at the local high school, I realized I couldn’t make a living with it.
After few months, I started to search for a work in the multinational companies. With a strong background in maths and science I started my career in the jobs focused on the data analysis. As a billing specialist, I designed VBA tools to provide complex invoice checks that ensured more than 95% accuracy of invoices issued to our customers worldwide. As a fraud and bypass analyst I was fighting the telecommunication frauds using VBA and SQL queries. As a pricing specialist, I took care of VBA tools responsible for correct pricing offers to our customers.
Even though I did like my work in the corporate world, I always felt, that something was missing. After eight years, I took a sabbatical for eight months. During this time, I was reinventing my life and I was thinking what to do next with my career. After this break, I realized I needed to return to the activity that I enjoy the most – teaching.
What happened next?
I worked as a freelancer for two years, and then, in 2021 I founded my own company Love2teach s.r.o. (yes, because I really love to teach) 🙂 Today I help companies and individuals to grow professionally in their daily work with MS Excel, Power Query and VBA.
How do I teach?
I like a relaxed working atmosphere, as we absorb and retain information better, in a stress-free environment. I use the „learning by doing“ method – from the first lesson your employees solve tasks as much as possible, consult their work problems, or we work on the predefined tasks that simulate real-life work problems.
