Helpful, patient problem solver

Working with Neal has been great. He offers knowledgeable support for a variety of tech issues. He's easy to talk to, easy to schedule with, and I've learned a lot as well. Highly recommend.

Aileen, 5 lessons with Neal

Really knows this stuff

Neal is extremely knowledgeable and asks what specifically can he help with vs telling you things you have no need to know. I would definitely use Neal again. He is personable band professional.

Great AI tutor

I strongly recommend Neal to any AI newbie out there who is dipping their toes into this scary and exciting world. I tried to dive in via online classes, videos and articles, but was quickly overwhelmed. Neal cut through the noise and provided key resources tailored to fit my interests and goals. Neal’s long history in tech and computers, combined with a passion for the topic, makes him a natural fit for the AI world. So don't stress. Have a nice, relaxed conversation with Neal to kick start your journey. (As an aside, I promise I did NOT use AI to write this review)

PC and Windows expert, also iPhone integration

I have a work PC and an iPhone. My contacts and calendars were a mess and nothing was syncing right. Neal helped me get it all straight and helped me diagnose several hardware problems on my PC as well. You can tell he's been at this a long time, very knowledgeable and experienced.

Excellent and empathetic tutor I ever had .

Neal is an excellent and knows his things. He gave me exactly what I was looking for to prepare for my interview. He is a tutor because of his passion to help people rather than making money. During our session, I saw him putting in my shoes and giving me everything I needed. He communicated with me every time I reach out to him to solve the issues I was having and listened to all my questions and gave the answers to them. Can’t wait to reach out to him whenever I need help.

Franck, 1 lesson with Neal

Conscious guidelines

Genuine helping attitude. Conscience teaching quality. Friendliness. All these three qualities I have found in him in the first meeting. He took time to understand my needs and provide me customized solutions for me, at the same time he was conscious about my budget.

Manoj, 3 lessons with Neal

Caring, Compassionate and Very Competent

I was having trouble using Apple Mail and my 9 (yes 9) email accounts. I decided to switch to MS Outlook for a more organized approach to my email, calendar, storage, filing, and tasks. After 4 sessions with Neal, I have all of my emails and calendars organized on all 4 of my devices. It is such a relief to have everything in one place and not feel like I am missing an important email. We still have some work to do to get me organized with my pictures and filing but we are almost there. Thank you very much Neal!! I highly recommend. -Ed Le Cara, PhD
