Kevin Stratvert
Kevin Stratvert teaches technology and productivity in step-by-step tutorials — AI tools, Microsoft 365, Excel, Google Workspace, and the apps people actually use at work. His official site describes him as a former Microsoft Product Manager and Windows MVP; before teaching full-time he worked at Microsoft for 14 years as a Senior Program Manager, per his instructor bio. SGV distills 398 of his tutorials here.
kevinstratvert.comKevin Stratvert makes how-to videos: one tool, one task, walked through on screen until the viewer can do it too. His official site, kevinstratvert.com, describes the offer plainly — high-quality how-to videos and articles that help you get up to speed with office productivity software, from a former Microsoft Product Manager and Windows MVP. His instructor bio adds the detail: before he started teaching, he worked at Microsoft for 14 years as a Senior Program Manager, where he led the Office app team that made it easy for millions of users to access Microsoft Excel.
The library reflects where office software has moved. The long Microsoft core is all here — Excel formulas, PivotTables, mail merge, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and Copilot in its many forms — alongside Google Workspace, QuickBooks, and a fast-growing AI shelf: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot agents, n8n and Zapier automations, AI video and presentation tools, and beginner builds like a first AI agent in Python. The format never really changes, and that is the point: current tool, real screen, steps in order, caveats named — including when a premium tool is overkill for the job.
His teaching also has a second, quieter layer: the fictional Kevin Cookie Company, the demo business he runs through tutorial after tutorial so viewers see the same small company get its inbox, invoices, automations, and AI workflows built in public. His own course school, linked below, goes deeper than the free tutorials for viewers who want the structured version.
