We recently hired Dawn to provide computer training for some of our staff. The sessions were thoughtfully tailored to meet the needs of varying skill levels, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and supported. Dawn was patient, engaging, and skilled at breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps. Our staff walked away with newfound confidence in their ability to navigate essential computer tasks, making them more efficient and comfortable with technology. If you're looking for someone to help your team or loved ones gain practical, everyday computer skills, I highly recommend this service. It’s been a fantastic investment for our team!

Dawn knows computers. I was having difficulties with using my Mac and Microsoft Word. She was able to explain and teach me how to get around some of the difficulties. She is knowledgeable, patient and friendly, without getting caught up in "techy" language, which just confuses me. I plan to periodically check in with her for problems as they come up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am currently only offering Remote Sessions via Zoom Meeting with screen sharing. You can be sitting at your kitchen table, in your favorite recliner or even on your porch enjoying the weather - and I can still be helping you with your computer needs. How does that sound? Contact me for rates.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I adjust my training to the knowledge level and speed that my client is most comfortable with. It's all about them. I will have handouts and documents for them to keep, and if requested, I will assign homework to be sure they are grasping everything I am teaching them. I do not teach from a book. I do not force my clients to learn things they do not need.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching computers for over 20 years. I have a proven track record with Thumbtack.
