Excellent and smart tutor

Lindsey is super-knowledgeable about Wordpress, CSS, and a host of other handy skills for budding developers to learn. She knows her stuff and is plugged in to the industry. We've had a couple sessions and already I'm further along with my site than I'd gotten in a few months before. Highly recommend!

Excellent

Great knowledge and experience, and able to teach it. We worked with a template and Elementor. Lindsey also makes it fun to master the necessary skills. She also has great artistic capabilities. I can't wait until our next lesson!

Claire, 3 lessons with Lindsey

Absolutely Fantastic

Lindsey was absolutely fantastic. I was not at all confident in the beginning about finishing what I needed to get done, but in the span of one short hour she completely turned the tone around. I am clear about how to do a few key things I need to move forward, and I look forward to meeting again. Highly recommended.

Kevin, 3 lessons with Lindsey

Lindsey is awesome!

She has so much experience and it comes through very clearly as she demonstrates her technical expertise in the virtual setting. I highly recommend Lindsey for a Wordpress and Elementor teacher.

Chuck, 1 lesson with Lindsey

really knowledgeable and easy to work with

Lindsay is teaching me about the inner workings of Wordpress & website building. She is very knowledge and easy to talk with and ask questions. I really like the fact that when she has me do something, she takes a moment to let the information sink in instead of talking too quickly or overloading me with information. I'm really looking forward to our next session!

Aaron, 1 lesson with Lindsey

Very patient! Great feedback & expertise 😊👍

Lindsey was amazing! She listened to my issues with my UX portfolio and empathized with me. She understood what my barriers, needs, wishes, and wants are. I highly recommend her—even after my first session! Thank you so much, Lindsey! 😊

Excellent Tutor - Lindsey

Lindsey was patient and showed me the keystrokes I needed in WordPress. I would definitely recommend her. She also knows about setting up a FaceBook business page and that will be what we discuss next time.

Skye, 1 lesson with Lindsey

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Lindsey has been extremely helpful in guiding me through all possibilities for building my website. She's very patient and I'd highly recommend her for any question you have about Wordpress and building with Elementor.

Melissa, 5 lessons with Lindsey

knowledgeable & thoughtful tutor

Lindsey was very patient and kind to offer some insight/help before I paid her for a tutoring session via private message. I explained my situation with school work and she was able to take a look at my issues before our session. Which seems rare and very thoughtful, because an hour can go by in a blink of an eye. So having discussed my issues & her taking a look at my coding beforehand was above and beyond. Our session focused mainly on help with Bootstrap CSS and my website being responsive. Her professional help was appreciated! I recommend Lindsey :)

Help with photoshop and drawing

Lindsey has been absolutely wonderful for me. I am a complete beginner, both to sketching and to photoshop. She has helped me develop a sketching habit, and she is incredibly patient with me as I fumble my way around photoshop.
