The best tutor imaginable

Milda B. is the finest tutor I could ever envision. She is extremely bright, incredibly well versed in all aspects of computers and infinitely patient. I had the pleasure of working with Milda for several months. It was a fantastic experience in every way. She was punctual and prepared for every appointment. She helped walk me through the basics of computer usage and helped me begin to feel comfortable with the MacBook Pro. As our lessons progressed, she would show me how to navigate the different functions on the dock. We covered Word, Powerpoint and Excel. Milda was incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in every area. She would patiently answer all my questions and made me feel empowered at the end of each lesson. Best of all, although I was a complete neophyte on laptops and their usage, I was never once meant to feel like I was asking a dumb question. If I made multiple errors, Milda would build my confidence through simple repetition and encouragement. I cannot recommend Milda highly enough. No matter what your skill level, I believe anyone who works with her will get better and smarter in the process. My only regret on leaving Miami is not being able to continue my lessons with her!!
