Introduction: I live in Coeur d' Alene, Id BUT I do remote tutoring all over the country . You will get individualized assistance for computer on any thing you want to learn. I am very good and teaching beginners about computers. With my background in teaching and computers I am very good at what I do. I tutor in person in Coeur d Alene, Idaho area, otherwise I can remote into your computer to work with you. I can see your screen talk to you and move the mouse, it is also a great way to get tutoring. When needed I travel to the clients home to do the job. I specialize in working with seniors, since I am a retired computer teacher I can relate to them. My prices reasonable because I know people are on fixed budgets. I am A+ certified so if you are having computer or printer problems I can fix them. If you technology is acting up or your network needs help I work on theses issues too.

I am thrilled that I chose Julie to work with to tutor me in Excel and other Microsoft programs!! I am a complete beginner and she is so patient and full of knowledge. I work on a Mac and she is on a PC yet she knows all of the tricks and shortcuts, and she is able to "take over" my computer while she teaches me from her home, so it works out perfectly. I look forward to every lesson with her. She is punctual and prepared and has things ready for our hour sessions. I will be taking all of this knowledge with me when I find a new job so finding her was of the utmost importance. I can't say enough good things about her. Highly recommend her!!!!

I really just needed some initial advice concerning an issue with my pretty old Chromebook. I sent a message to her one evening and she called me by noon the next day. She was very nice and helpful while we discussed the issue. We both eventually agreed that I should just upgrade to a new Chromebook and that's what I am going to do. Thank you.

Julie was very patient working me through my complex computer issues remotely. She responded quickly to my online request for help, and said if she couldn't solve the problem today, she'd be able to work on it in person tomorrow. Very impressed. I will contact her first next time!

Julie was a huge blessing, an answer to my frustrations! She’s very comfortable to work with, enthusiastic about resolving my problems; in addition she tried teaching me a little more about computers (I’m computer-challenged!) Love her quick response & considerate wages. Choose her, you won’t be disappointed!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is very fair, I take into account that many people are on fixed incomes so my prices reflect that. I vary my prices between a job rate and hourly rate according to the project.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I talk or meet with the client to go over their needs or wants and we come up with a plan that will take care of this. I explain what my background is and how I can help them with their technology issues. IF it is building a website, we go over everything they want set up on the website
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in math/computer science Taught High School for 25 yrs Worked part time doing tech work for 15 yrs A+ certified for Microsoft
