Eager To Learn To Use Your Computer More Efficiently?

Need a little help learning that new program or computer you just bought? Or perhaps just some guidance in getting to know the Windows  interface? We offer tutoring and training in-home, your office or at our Instructor's Residence. One or two hour sessions for one person. Learn in the comfort of your own home or office.

Whether you know absolutely nothing about personal computers or you are just looking to brush up on a few skills, individualized computer instruction can provide the help you need. For many years, people have learned to play instruments, sing, dance and act through one-on-one lessons.

This page describes the individualized personal computer Tutoring & Training programs offered by pcMedix.

One on One Tutoring

pcMedix can help make your computer frustrations disappear. With our One on One instruction, you will be able to concentrate more on getting the work done rather than asking yourself ... How do I ...?? or Can I ...??
One on One tutoring is available at your home or place of business or at Gord's residence for all local area residents.

No Prerequisite & No Required # of Classes

You! decide what you would like to learn and how many sessions that you will need. All your questions will be answered on the spot!

How are the lessons conducted?

One student, one instructor, one computer! Each lesson lasts for 60 minutes. A state-of-the-art IBM compatible personal computer is provided for "hands-on" instruction at Gord's residence. You decide how many lessons you want, how often you want them and what topics will be discussed. Certificates of achievement will be awarded to recognize progress.

How does this differ from classroom instruction?

We cover topics to the level of detail that you desire, spending as much time as necessary on areas that you find interesting or confusing. You learn at your own pace, not at that of the instructor or other students in a class. There is no "wasted" time covering subjects that are not in your particular area of interest. Also, you don't have to be afraid of asking a "stupid" question in front of other students.

What is being taught?

If you have a special area of interest, we can tailor lessons to cover your particular needs. In addition, you can choose from the following topics:

bulletHow to buy a Personal or Business Computer
bulletEveryday Uses for Personal Computers
bulletAccessing the Information Superhighway (Internet)
bulletCreating Your Own World Wide Web Page
bulletMicrosoft Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP (or 3.1)
bulletWord Processing (Microsoft Word/WordPerfect)
bulletSpreadsheet Applications (Microsoft Excel/Lotus)
bulletData Base Systems (Microsoft Access, dBase)
bulletProfessional Presentations (Microsoft PowerPoint)
bulletMicrosoft Office (all versions) (Standard and Professional)
bulletMicrosoft Works (all versions) (Word Processor/Spreadsheet/DB)

Where and when are the lessons conducted?

Sessions can be conducted in your home or place of business or at Gord's residence.
Evening and weekend appointments are also available to accommodate any schedule.

For training/tutoring conducted at your home or office, travel time will also be charged
-- see rates at page bottom ...

What hardware and software do I need to get started?

None! If you don't have a computer yet, you may take your training at Gord's residence. You will practice on a personal computer during your sessions, so there is no need to have your own computer before you enroll. In fact, you may wish to take a few lessons before buying your own hardware or software. This will give you a chance to discover just what a personal computer can do for you and which software is right for your needs.

Who should take our Training & Tutoring?

bulletBusiness owners, entrepreneurs, managers or anyone who needs to use personal computers and wants to understand them better.
bulletProfessionals who want to get better utilization from personal computers that they already use.

How long does it take to become proficient?


That depends on what topics you study, how extensive your computer knowledge is already, how quickly you learn and many other factors. The beauty of individualized instruction is that you make progress at the pace that's exactly right for you!
Most people show significant progress after two or three lessons. Without any prior experience, you can expect to be able to use software packages such as a word processor or spreadsheet with confidence after an average of five sessions.


How does the cost compare to classroom instruction?


Very

The cost per 60 minute lesson at your home or office is just $20.00!
There is no contract to sign nor minimum number of sessions required.

Packages ONLY $50 per hour - CALL US !
