Todd Kermit [of SpeechWise] is the
consummate professional educator and
trainer. I work as a humanities teacher
and work heavily with Microsoft Word
and Excel. Todd shared numerous
tricks and programming code he
created that will easily return at least
60 minutes to each workday for me.
Furthermore, he showed tremendous
patience and awareness in knowing
when to adjust how much information
to share. I recommend Todd’s work
without reservation.
