Los Angeles source for computer taining for Macintosh, PC, Adobe, Photoshop, InDesign & iWeb

In a word...a little.

My approach to training is to do as little as I can to get you as far along as possible. I get calls from people asking me if they will be proficient in this program or that after leaving my training. My answer is always the same...subdued laughter. There are no magic bullets in the computer learning biz.

Another way of putting it, A New Yorker is approached in the street near Carnegie Hall, and asked, "Pardon me sir, how do I get to Carnegie Hall?" He replies, "Practice, practice, practice."

So why then come to me if I can't get you from here to there? The truth is I can assist you on your journey, but only if you apply the advice found in the joke. I can help you with basic Mac techniques that will make you more efficient. I can get a newbie started in the most efficient way so your level of frustration is minimal (there will be moments of frustration). If you just bought an iPhone you don't have to struggle setting up the thing. I can come and show you the phone as well as iTunes, iCal and your address book so everything syncs easily. But you have to use the software to enjoy the computer.

I want to know

Ken's thoughts; the rest are details.

What about more "serious" programs? I can help there too. I can come to your place of work or home and show you how to use programs such as MS Word, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or even InDesign. I can show you how to get the best results from your printer. I can also help you with projects using the Apple iLife software. This website was constructed using iWeb, with content from Photoshop and Illustrator. You see, I also do production in these programs so I know them.

For some, coming to a facility works better than staying home. No problema. You can come to my home on an appointment basis and use my computer and software.

I don't abandon clients. Once I get you comfortable with a program you must put the time into using it. To be honest, I lost a client after about a month of visits. She complained that she wasn't learning very much. It turned out that she only used the computer during our weekly sessions. WRONG!

But I digress...When a question arises, just call me and ask for help. You may want to see me again after a time to get some questions answered. This is a good formula and one that is cost-effective.
