About
Hi, I'm Dawn and I’m available to work with you this week! I offer remote lessons nationwide and in-person lessons in MA & RI only. With over 25 years of experience teaching computers, I specialize in making technology accessible and understandable for adults — without the tech jargon, frustration, or fast-talking. YouTube videos can be helpful… until they go too fast, skip important steps, or don’t apply to your device. That’s where I come in — with friendly, one-on-one support tailored to your pace, goals, and comfort level. I can help you with: • General computer help (Windows & Mac) • Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint • Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail • Personal email setup and management • Online safety and shopping tips • Zoom, video calls, photo sharing, file organization • Printer & scanner setup and troubleshooting • Custom group classes for businesses, community centers, and senior programs • And so much more! I offer remote sessions via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet, ensuring convenience and flexibility. I’m committed to helping you gain confidence using technology — whether you’re brand new or just need a refresher. My rate is $55/hour, and I offer both remote and in-person sessions. (For in-person visits, a small travel fee may apply based on distance.) Feel free to message me with any questions. Let’s make technology work for you! — Dawn Sacco Personal Computer Consultant Teach An Old Dog New Tricks – Computer Training Rhode Island

Dawn was very helpful in working with me on an issue I was having with Zoom. She was very thorough about exploring all the possible options for the problem, how to fix it, and to come up with a good solution. She was pleasant, responsive, and I'd definitely follow up with her again if I need help!

This was an excellent service with a "no anxiety experience". Wish I found her much earlier. I even looked forward to the training time together and signed up for additional help on top of what I originally signed up for. I plan on more classes in the future to stay on top of the forever changing digital world. Dawn is a true gem...

I want to express my sincere appreciation for Dawn Sacco. And her instruction in Excel and Windows 365. Her class has been an exceptionally positive learning experience,and I,m very grateful for the skills I,ve gained What stands out most is her incredible patience and extensive knowledge. The world of Excel and Windows 365 can be complex, but Dawn has a remarkable ability to explain difficult concepts in a clear, understandable way. She take the time to ensure every student grasps the material, patiently answering questions and providing guidance without ever making me feel rushed.This combination of deep expertise and a genuinely patient teaching style has made all the difference. I feel mush more confident and capable in my work now, and that is a direct result of her excellent instruction. I highly recommend DAWN SACCO
