Computer Tutor
A private computer tutor is an efficient use of your time and resources. Whether for work, personal or student-learning needs, a private tutor can determine your goals, help you decide which software can best perform those tasks, and quickly get you up to speed on the essential new skills and techniques required. Generic online or free learning programs may not be up-to-date or have the ability to answer your specific questions, and are often a waste of time. GEEK-AID® experts can help you with the following:
- Improve specific skill gaps with software and programs
- Improve workflow speed and efficiency
- Expand functions and capabilities
- Improve communication and document sharing with clients and customers
- Improve document storage and retrieval
- Increase computer professionalism

- Teach troubleshooting and simple fixes for common problems
- Suggest appropriate technology solutions and options

- Introduction to Excel for beginners
