Michael A. Celender

Michael Celender was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. His academic background consists of accounting and financial management as well as marketing studies. He majored in accounting and financial management at the University of Johannesburg, completing his degree with top grades. During his own studies and while teaching others at various higher institutions, he saw first-hand how poorly taught the subject of accounting is. After training in Study Technology ©, a new and innovative educational system, he learned how to write books with student comprehension as the primary outcome. He is quick to applaud Study Technology as the best educational system in the world, dealing with the core reasons people of all ages struggle to excel in their studies and providing solutions to overcome these.

- Over 600 hours of personally tutoring college students.

- Drafting accounting materials for a number of courses, including training materials on South African government accounting, two online accounting courses published by a major media corporation (Johnnic Communications) and the development of six accounting courses for the Hubbard College of Administration for Africa.

- Lecturing accounting and financial management at college level.

In 2009 he founded www.accounting-basics-for-students.com. Years later this website continues to provide free accounting education to thousands of visitors from around the world each and every day.
