Mike is incredibly patient, affable and quite seriously knowledgeable, as a "one on one" tutor. As a former, now retired, public school educator, he has real skill in breaking down larger, general, computer skill concepts into smaller steps. I would not hesitate to hire Mike for another educational session, in the future.

I did not know how to download wedding pictures from other sites and databases, nor how to organize them. Mike was able to teach me how to do it easily - I got it done so much faster than I could have without his help. He also gave me additional tips, and helped with syncing my devices.

Mike Wish has an unusual combination of strong abilities that make him a superb resource. First, because of his intelligence and experience he really knows Apple technologies and Mac devices. Second, his resourcefulness and capacity to relate to clients and their questions make him a truly skilled teacher. And third, his sense of design and knowledge of the demands of internet communication make him a fine webpage designer.

Tutored me in creating and executing an email campaign on Mail Chimp that was giving me an extraordinary headache. In about 1 1/4 hours he taught me everything I need to know leaving me with a template and skills for future e-news letters using Mail Chimp. For a novice user as myself I was gratified that he was patient, easy-going, easy to understand and didn't mind repeating information. It was important to me that we do this work face-to-face and not via email or by screen sharing. That would've been too complicated for me to follow. Therefore he actually came to my office and sat with me while I executed the campaign. I know his instruction was accurate and useful because I actually went back and made multiple changes prior to The final scheduling for sending the e-news letter. His fees are very fair and in-line with other tech-support I have retained in the past. I recommend Mike Wish to all those who are seeking tech-support for an array of marketing programs.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Support Customers I provide customers the convenience of having their Mac, iPad or iPhone difficulties resolved from the comfort of their home. Although, I do not provide physical repairs, most of the inquiries I receive are related to issues that can be resolved in a 1 hour visit. Training Customers I will help you to build a road map, specified by you, of where you want to go with your devices and how we're going to get there. I will teach you how to use your resources to answer questions on your own and I will show you, step-by-step, how to conquer this technology!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a former Apple Store Genius Bar technician so I have several relevant certifications from the time working with Apple directly. I am also an Apple Certified Support Professional which is an industry-grade certification training program and exam offered by Apple. I have spent a decade working with Apple products in a professional capacity and I can teach you how to get more out of your devices than you are now.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I love everything Apple makes. I wanted to know everything about how they work. As a result, I became a resource for my friends and family to understand more about how to use them. I do this to witness the excitement someone feels when they learn something new and put it to use right away.
