**IMPORTANT NOTE** This private class was made at the request of a parent so they could submit the full payment to their school for reimbursement. I also have this class as an ongoing class for parents who prefer the weekly subscription and flexibility on how many weeks they want to do. If you are interested in either of these courses please use the "request more times" option or send me a message through my profile.

As this is a PRIVATE class, the lessons can be modified as needed based on the students' needs and the requests of the parents. The outline below is a general format for how a computer class would go the first quarter of the school year.
