Group Courses

Everyone learns differently, that's why I've made all my courses a perfect mix of presentation, videos, live demos, and hands-on learning.
I purposely keep my class-sizes small (no more than 5 or 6 students per course), so I can provide one-on-one guidance. Whether you prefer a classroom setting or in-home instruction, you'll learn the key basics to get yourself up and running.

Are you a program director looking to bring new and exciting activities to your organization?
Providing your community with computer courses might be the perfect way to spark interest and social engagement.
