Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
Unlock the full potential of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel in this private class, which can be tailored for students of all levels. Whether a learner is a beginner seeking to grasp the basics or an advanced user aiming to refine their skills, these one-on-one, private tutoring sessions are designed to meet your learner's specific goals. I can focus on one of these programs or cover all of the programs.

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Sessions can be personalized to accommodate your learner's skill level and I can focus on particular features, tools, or projects they're interested in.

𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Learners can follow along as I share my screen, providing step-by-step demonstrations of the applications. 

𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Students are encouraged to have Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel installed on their computers. However, if unavailable, Google Docs, Google Slides, or Google Sheets can be used as free alternatives.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: Learners can apply their new skills to real-world tasks such as creating budgets, schedules, to-do lists, letters, papers, and presentations. I can suggest a project, assist with homework, or tailor a lesson based on your learner's goals/interests.

P̲r̲e̲r̲e̲q̲u̲i̲s̲i̲t̲e̲s̲:
No prior experience with Microsoft Office is required, but a basic understanding of desktop or laptop operations, such as using a mouse and keyboard, is recommended. If you're using an Apple computer, I can adjust accordingly.

𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱: (but please reach out, as I am able to cover many more)

𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:
Occasionally, learners may need additional help in completing a task. I am able to give students the ability to share their screen so that I can see exactly what they are looking at. Usually, this works very well, and I am able to talk them through the task. (If the learner is using Microsoft Office on a separate device than Zoom, they can show me the screen via their camera, if it can be moved.) If the learner is still not able to complete the task, I am able to explain how to grant me remote access so that I can complete the task for them and then have them try it again. 

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Have questions or need a different schedule? Feel free to reach out! At the end of each class, I will provide a short description of what we covered during class.
