Mia Gwyn
Instructor

What Mia Gwyn loves about teaching is the students, but in her own words: “The best part of teaching is knowing that I’ve helped people; the highest compliment from my students is when they ask me “Can we request you as our instructor next time?” Or even more amazing when they say “I keep thinking, where would I be now if I had had teachers like you when I was growing up.” She takes a fun approach to teaching, focusing on making her students laugh to keep the morale up in the classroom. It just goes with her style of going above and beyond of what is expected from a teacher. During classes, she always provides more material and exercises than are commonly found in the books, applying real world value to her students rather than just theoretical knowledge. She draws on her years of experience with teaching in the New Horizons network to provide outstanding training. She is a true master of the Microsoft Office suite, teaching everything from Excel to OneNote, a rather underrated program that could be your next best friend.
