Introduction
NOTE 11-24-23: PLEASE LOOK AT BLACK FRIDAY SALE IN PHOTO BELOW My goal is to help you to meet your business, personal, or non-profit needs, via a context of technology. - Always a FREE consultation. - We help you articulate your goals, based on your needs. - A commitment to your your needs being met. Technology Consulting: - Technology consulting is an effort of helping people and businesses, not of choosing or making technologies. This comes out of the goal to help. I have fifteen years experience in software support and development, and a couple years experience teaching, in computer software and programming, as well as in ESL and school subjects. My technology experience includes Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript; MS Excel, VB, Data Analysis; setting up Wiki systems, managing technology for non-profit groups. Computer Programming and other lessons: I have taught at a Full-Stack development coding school, as well as in other non-profit computer applications and computer literacy educational projects. I seek to work with my students' learning style and background, in order to provide an effective tutoring experience. I enjoy teaching, and I am glad to help you learn, even if this means fielding calls when you need assistance.

He is very patient in trying to accommodate people like me, who progress very slowly. He always tries to make sure, that his customer (me) understands and can follow his instructions. He offers an extra benefit by recording the individual lessons , so that the customer can watch it and go offer it again. Overall I had and still have a very positive and satisfying experience with my Needs-First and can highly recommend him as your future computer teacher.

I had a basic familiarity with Excel but Peter helped me tremendously to go to the next step-- anonymizing the data identity, learning basics for PIVOT tables, sophisticated summing of columns and rows, etc. Was very happy.

My experience was excellent!! Needs-First Tech prepped me for a job skills assessment test that was critical to obtaining the job. I would have never passed the test without Peter's teaching and knowledge about Excel and especially Pivot tables.

I am a tennis teacher by trade. I was looking for a teacher who could teach me basic computer skills to start. Peter is very informative and patient. Peter also has taken the time to lay out a plan to help me set and achieve future goals. I find Peter not only informative but enjoyable to work. I look forward to continued lessons with Peter.
