Hello - I'm a computer instructor and programmer with over 20 years of experience in many areas of computer technology. I have also worked in recruiting and interviewing for technical positions at the companies I have worked at. As a tutor, my main concern is helping people learn technology in a friendly and supportive (non-intimidating) manner. I can help with interview preparation, career coaching and counseling, basic computer skills, advanced use of Access and Excel with VBA programming, no-code and low-code software tools, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate text, audio, images, and video. I can also help if you are looking for new career/job opportunities with career coaching, resume writing, LinkedIn profile updates, and mock/practice job interviews.

I offer a friendly and supportive instructional style combined with technical expertise. I have empathy for students, as I can remember when I was first learning many of these technologies.

I look forward to the opportunity to help you, and can create sessions specifically around your needs.

Thank you! Lloyd

Recommended Tutor

Lloyd helped me cover all my bases to prepare for a technical interview. He helped me develop great responses to common and stress interview questions that focused on my strengths and experience. I hadn’t interviewed in 15+ years and was very nervous about the prospect of interviewing. Thanks to practice sessions with Lloyd, I am now excited about the prospect of interviewing for a software position! I recommend him.

The Perfect Tutor for Career Prep!

I was immediately impressed with Lloyd's preparation for my session, which involved preparing for an interview in music publishing. He was incredibly great at asking questions in a mock interview style and provided valuable feedback on how I could improve my responses. I am now employed! Interviewing was one of the scariest parts of this process, and I thank Lloyd so much for the much needed help. Would highly recommend!
