Instructor
Hi everyone, my name is Xavier. I'm really passionate about technology and I love to teach people new things. It's this passion that has led me to creating easy to follow video tutorials. I started out in 2016 with my YouTube channel and so far I have uploaded over 65 videos. I'm listing to everyone's feedback to improve the quality of my videos further.
YouTube is great for video, but it's not ideal for e-learning courses. That's why in 2017 I signed up for Udemy. My ambition is to bring some of my YouTube courses to Udemy for free and to create new series specifically for Udemy.
This is the beginning of a journey, so tag along!
