Introduction

I live in Coeur d' Alene, Id BUT I do remote tutoring all over the country . You will get individualized assistance for computer on any thing you want to learn. I am very good and teaching beginners about computers. With my background in teaching and computers I am very good at what I do. I tutor in person in Coeur d Alene, Idaho area, otherwise I can remote into your computer to work with you. I can see your screen talk to you and move the mouse, it is also a great way to get tutoring. When needed I travel to the clients home to do the job. I specialize in working with seniors, since I am a retired computer teacher I can relate to them. My prices reasonable because I know people are on fixed budgets. I am A+ certified so if you are having computer or printer problems I can fix them. If you technology is acting up or your network needs help I work on theses issues too.

I am thrilled that I chose Julie to work with to tutor me in Excel and other Microsoft programs!! I am a complete beginner and she is so patient and full of knowledge. I work on a Mac and she is on a PC yet she knows all of the tricks and shortcuts, and she is able to "take over" my computer while she teaches me from her home, so it works out perfectly. I look forward to every lesson with her. She is punctual and prepared and has things ready for our hour sessions. I will be taking all of this knowledge with me when I find a new job so finding her was of the utmost importance. I can't say enough good things about her. Highly recommend her!!!!

I found Julie after having a couple of bad experiences with instructors. Julie listens to answer my questions and needs, progresses at my pace, and goes back over things to make sure I got it and can perform it without her. I have had multiple visits now because she is such a good and knowledgeable teacher and charges a very reasonable hourly rate. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone needing computer training.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I talk or meet with the client to go over their needs or wants and we come up with a plan that will take care of this. I explain what my background is and how I can help them with their technology issues. IF it is building a website, we go over everything they want set up on the website
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in math/computer science Taught High School for 25 yrs Worked part time doing tech work for 15 yrs A+ certified for Microsoft
