Why learn with me?

My name is Andrew Pach and I've partnered with Codestars to create this course. I am an experienced PowerPoint instructor with over 5000 client projects completed (on Fiverr alone I have 4600+), I also run a YouTube channel with around 100k subscribers. The numbers aren't important, but I want you to have a tangible, actionable way of "screening" me so you know you are dealing with a real-life experienced professional who worked and is working on actual projects in PPT, not just talking about them. I encourage you to watch any of the free preview lectures to check my style and see if I'm the right fit for you (spoiler alert - I will!).

Why Learn PowerPoint and Presentation Skills?

Most people know how to create basic slides, but few know how to turn those slides into clear, effective, and visually appealing presentations. Enhanced with beautiful animations of course (my favourite thing) :) This course solves that problem by giving you a clear system to build presentations that work — whether for business, education, or personal projects.

You’ll learn how to approach presentations logically, structure your message, design consistent slides, and present your ideas clearly and confidently. I suggest you read section names so you see the topics we cover together.
