I believe that technology should be simple, empowering, and accessible for everyone, no matter their age or background. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked with individuals and groups of all sizes to help them gain confidence with their computers, digital tools, and online skills. I have successfully taught seniors taking their very first steps with email and the internet, business professionals mastering Office and Outlook, and entrepreneurs learning how to build their own websites on WordPress without breaking the bank. Whether it’s Windows or Mac, Microsoft Office or WordPress, I make sure every student feels supported and leaves with clear, usable skills.
My background includes professional IT work, network engineering, and cybersecurity, but my greatest passion is teaching. I specialize in developing customized learning programs based on each student’s exact goals. Together, we identify your challenges, and I create a plan designed just for you. Every question is answered thoroughly, and I provide homework and hands-on practice so the material sticks. I also prepare cheat sheets and step-by-step guides so you always have backup notes to reference after our lessons. Students consistently tell me that these resources give them extra confidence and help them retain what they’ve learned long-term.
My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and practical. I break complex concepts into simple, clear steps and move at the pace that works best for you. I’ve worked one-on-one, in classrooms, and with larger groups, and in each setting my focus has been the same: to create a safe, supportive environment where learning feels rewarding and progress is measurable.
