Personalized Computer Assistance & Instruction in Your Home or Office

Computer Tutoring is one-on-one personalized computer assistance and instruction that takes place in your home or office—at your convenience. You will learn on your computer, using your software, and working on the content of your projects—at your speed.
Everyone learns differently and at different speeds. As your Computer Tutor, I will customize your tutoring sessions to fit your learning style and speed. You decide the curriculum: For the novice it could be learning to write emails, do searches on the internet, and learn basics on the word-processor. For the experienced, it could be learning how to more effectively use your applications, or learn a brand new software application for a specific project.
Working with me you will learn more effectively and efficiently because you will spend less time repeating unnecessary actions, fixing problems, or wondering why it worked before and it doesn't work now.

Why I Tutor: In every job I had working with a computer, I always found myself teaching my colleagues on the computer. I've also taught several family members. The computer has positively changed my life: it allows me to organize myself and my thoughts, it helps me present myself more clearly and professionally, and it gives me a creative outlet.
I enjoy teaching and sharing "tricks & tools" I've acquired on the computer. After my son was born, I decided to start my own Computer Tutoring business so that I could balance my home and business life with more flexibility. I truly enjoy working with a diverse cliental with a variety of experiences.
Other Computer Experience: I've been a a member of the Golden Gate Computer Society (GGCS: www.ggcs.org ) for seven years. This is an organization made of novice, intermediate and experience computer users. Members can attend free Special Interest Group (SIGs) classes throughout the week. In addition to writing software and computer book reviews for GGCS I also co-led the Small Office Home Office (SOHO) SIG for two years.
