YOUR PERSONALIZED COMPUTER TRAINING CENTER

ComputerTutor offers introductory, intermediate and advanced training in database, word processing, spreadsheet and integrated software.

One-on-One Training
Achieve a new level of efficiency with personalized, one-on-one computer training. This cost-effective alternative to standard classroom training has helped hundreds become more productive with personal computer (PC) applications. ComputerTutor allows you to learn at your own pace – in a private, comfortable atmosphere. With hands-on practice time, you'll receive the practical instruction necessary to build self-confidence and proficiency. Unlike a classroom setting, our one-on-one training is customized to meet your individual needs.

Many times individuals are familiar with an application, but have difficulty in specific areas. At ComputerTutor, we can concentrate on specific areas of software and make the training more time and cost effective. You can also bring in actual projects and leave with the knowledge of how to most efficiently complete them.

If hectic work schedules prevent you from attending a class at the same time each week, ComputerTutor is the answer. We’ll work hard to meet your needs for scheduling – and even come to you when necessary. And you’ll have the advantage of support even after the class is completed.

Have you purchased a new laptop and have questions about using it? No problem - Bring in your laptop and take advantage of our one-on-one training to gain the knowledge you need to use your new technology purchase!

Classroom Training
ComputerTutor's classroom training combines traditional group training with effective one-on-one, personalized attention. Each four-hour class consists of two hours of instructor-led training and two hours of hands-on practice - at which time an instructor will come around to each class member to offer one-on-one assistance.

By keeping class sizes to 8 people or less, our classroom training is more effective because you will receive personal attention. In classes that are 15 or more in size, you may get "lost in the shuffle" or have to "wait your turn" to receive personalized assistance from an instructor - oftentimes having to wait for a break or waiting around after the class is over.
