iOS, iPadOS and Mac Tutoring

It often seems as though computers have a mind of their own and that they've decided that a fun day consists of practical jokes played on us. It may be that Microsoft Word is reformatting text or perhaps you are getting mysterious error messages when trying to send email or print a file? Going crazy trying to find a file you were working on just this morning? Overwhelmed with your new digital camera and wondering how to deal with a photo library growing by leaps and bounds? There's no reason to despair! Spend an hour or two in a focused tutorial with me and save yourself countless hours of frustration, wasted time and dead ends. Your Mac is a great tool for organizing and sharing images but you may need some help getting there. Let me help you work smarter and make the most of your Mac investment.

You'll accomplish your regular tasks more efficiently, learn to do things you never thought were possible, and in general be more productive using your Mac.

What can I do for you?

If you're planning on purchasing a new iPad, Mac or iPhone pre-purchase consulting with me can be helpful to choose the hardware and software that will best meet your needs. I can help you set up your new Mac or iPhone, and peripheral devices (printer, scanner, hard drive, digital camera, etc.), build a network for your home or office, and get you online via cable, dial-up, or wireless. I cover basic introduction, customizing and optimizing your system, organizing your files, installing and learning applications, and troubleshooting - along the way I’ll share plenty of tips, techniques and shortcuts to make using your Mac more productive and enjoyable.

I can create personalized cheat sheets that explain any procedure in a way you understand, and to which you can refer after our session.
