I’ve been a Computer Tutor for 10 years. I specialize in teaching beginning and intermediate computer users, as well as Microsoft Office. I tutor remotely using a secure program. I’ve taught people all across the U.S. and can tutor all around the world. The cost is $15 for each 15 minutes, with only a 15-minute minimum.
I can also answer questions via email for a small donation or fee, which would depend upon how hard the question is. Your first question is free. This is a great way to learn a little or get problems solved during these tough economic times.
Before I became a Computer Tutor I worked in the technology department at BizBuyer.com. I also have a B.A. in journalism and worked as a Staff Reporter for the Los Angeles Business Journal for six years. A few years ago I combined my skills to write and publish the book “A Very Very Beginner’s Guide to Using Computers.” I’ve tutored adults of all ages, from their 20s to their 90s. In addition, I’ve taught beginning classes at Oasis, a school for seniors in West Los Angeles.

Testimonials:
“Kara is a godsend when it comes to teaching me how to be a competent computer user. She is very patient and listens carefully to questions and then gives clear, well-articulated answers. When something is particularly difficult she simply fixes the problem herself remotely, making her support fast, painless, and you are back to business in no time. I highly recommend Kara the Computer Tutor.”

“… She’s amazing! She was able to get on my computer remotely and see what I was doing (wrong). She solved all my problems quickly. I sent her an email that listed the issues in advance so she did her homework ahead of time and only charged me for the time on the phone so it was super productive, She taught me a ton and had a great sense of humor…”
- Cathy Cather
“It is a great source of comfort to have Kara in my life. She is not only a fine teacher, but an excellent problem solver as well.”

“I recently purchased a new computer. Not only is all the software different than on my old computer, but I also wanted to use a different web browser, homepage, email system, etc So I had a lot of new stuff that I didn’t know how to use. After two telephone sessions with Kara, I am up to speed. She helps set up files, download programs and make suggestions on shortcuts, etc. The “teach by telephone” method she uses is the best. Both the teacher and the student have access to the cursor, so she can show you how to do something or you can ask questions about what you’re doing… She is thorough, patient and well prepared. I highly recommend her service.”
