About me...
I have been using computers professionally, and for my own interests, since the 1980s
Since the beginnings of the World Wide Web, the Internet, Email, online shopping and banking, and so many other uses for personal computing, it is increasingly becoming a necessary part of people's lives, yet an estimated eight million or so older adults are yet to "have a go" at this technology. I feel that age should not be a barrier to learning, and I am keen to enable those who feel perhaps nervous or unsure. You won't learn by me simply telling you how to do stuff: you will find it far more rewarding, and enjoyable, through "learning by doing."
Here's a nice quote (by someone!) :
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."
Tuition is offered in your own home, on your own computer on a one to one basis. It has been shown that this is by far the most effective way of learning. I know through personal experience, and by talking to others, that computer classes offer a lot but deliver little. There are simply too many people, often more than one per computer, with teaching delivered by a single tutor. I tailor tuition to your needs, on your computer, and at your speed.
