Hello, I'm Keshia (or Ms. Keshia as some of my students like to call me). I've worked in technology for most of my career in Corporate America and I have been writing code professionally since 1999. I love helping others enhance their design and technology skills. One of my favorite roles was working at New Horizons as a Certified Business School Teacher where I taught beginner through advanced soft skills and technical level courses including SQL, Crystal Reports, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Word, Interpersonal Communication, and various other subjects.

Keshia is a true professional AND a great teacher! Highly recommend!

Keshia was so efficient with my time. We stayed on schedule, she fixed all the bugs that I had tried and tried without success to do one my own. In the end she saved me many hours and huge frustration. She knows her way around. showed me some shortcuts and exceeded all my expectation. Gonna keep her on speed dial!

Amazing

So far I’m extremely pleased with Keshia. She is intelligent, focused yet adaptable, articulate, driven and supportive, among many other qualities I need in a tutor. She offers experience and resources to ensure the success of a 21st century entity. She gets me and what my goals are as a human, mother, thinker. I’m looking forward to us continuing together to bring my dreams to fruition.

Keshia is very knowledgeable about the Wix program

Keshia is very knowledgeable and skilled in the Wix program. Her understanding of my questions and patience with me as I attempted to explain some very complicated requests makes her a top notch tutor. I have scheduled another appointment with her to further my Wix skills. I highly recommend her as a tutor

Super-professional and helpful

Keshia walked me through the basics of Canva in a very productive intensive tutorial -- exactly what I was looking for. She showed me how to optimize between Canva and Powerpoint, to get the best out of each package. And, walked me through some really cool features of Canva that I didn't know existed. Thank you!

Helpful and Caring Tutor

I needed assistance with Google Search Console and some tips on how to improve SEO for my clients. Keshia was able to provide the solutions and additional information for all my questions, and was one of the nicest tutors I have ever worked with. I will definitely be going to her for all my SEO questions in the future

The Perfect Teacher

And what is the perfect teacher? It's one that makes you more perceptive, more confident & more capable. When my website designer instructs me on my site, she makes me feel like I'm a stupid, annoying pest. If I ask for clarification, she never understands my question & never answers it. I was at the point of just taking the site down because I couldn't figure out how to use it. My husband insisted that I find a tutor & I chose Keshia because she looked so bright & cheerful. After working with her once, I felt like I could actually learn enough to continue. After our second lesson, I felt way more comfortable with my site, & much smarter, so I started poking around on my own, discovering new things. Woo-hoo! Keshia has transformed me from a fearful, slow, techno-challenged old lady to a brave, vibrant, bad-ass geek! That's what a perfect teacher does.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor on WordPress

Keisha taught me the basics of WordPress and she was very patient and knowledgeable. I was able to clearly understand what she was teaching. I am an visual and hands on learner and she did just that. I got a lot out of just 1 hour. I have already scheduled more sessions with her.
