Hey there! I’m Chester Sky — a creator, problem-solver, and full-time enthusiast of turning “I have no idea what I’m doing” into “Wow, I actually get this.”
I’ve never been naturally gifted. I’ve been the stuck beginner, the frustrated learner, the late-night Googler. That’s why I teach the way I wish I’d been taught—no fluff, no ego, just real, practical learning that clicks.
My mission? To make complex ideas feel simple, useful, and even (dare I say?) fun. Whether you’re here to switch careers, upskill, or finally tackle that topic you’ve been avoiding—I’ve got your back. I build every course with heart, humor, and the belief that you can do this.
So let’s dive in. Your next skill (and a more confident you) is just a few lessons away.
