COMPUTER TUITION

Learn just what you need - not a lot of stuff that you'll never need!

"I have installed Google Chrome as per your suggestion and am finding it super fast. Thanks for the tip and thanks for the excellent support you provided this afternoon. All the best with the business. I will spread the word to all my friends re your service."

- Peter, Lighthouse Beach

Computer software is becoming more and more powerful - and more and more complicated.

If you only use a few of each of your programs' hundreds of functions, you still need to know how to use them without clicking on the 'Help' button every five minutes.

In this scenario, computer training courses probably aren't for you. Spending hours or even days learning lots of stuff that you'll never need is a waste of your time and money.
(If you require comprehensive training, see Computer Courses)

The DIY approach might look appealing, but there are hidden hazards. Instruction manuals tend to read like you already know the program backwards, and using the 'Help' button can send you clicking so far from the original topic that you need a GPS to get back!

A more efficient - and cheaper - alternative is to let us show you how to use your software to do just what you need.

We come to your office or home, and teach you quickly and calmly using your own computer. And we translate all that confusing computer jargon into plain English.

You'll be pleasantly surprised how much ground we can cover in a just an hour or two.

The cost ranges from $40 to $85/hour*, and you can invite an additional colleague, relative or friend to sit in for no extra charge!

Whether you’re a computer beginner or you're ready to expand your knowledge in a particular direction, this is a cost-effective and fun way to fast-track your software learning.
