Had an electrician wire my ceiling fan and when I slide the first switch the light and the fan work together but when I slide the second switch which should work just the fan, nothing happens. I tried getting hiim to come back and he always has excuses what can I do to correct this situation, how should it be wired so I can correct it myself.

You will need to have an additional wire for separate light and fan, and may be there.
If not, you can get a receiver/transmitter to allow separate control without the extra wire.

He wired it wrong. If you paid him already, make him come back and correct it.
