Classes & Public Speaking

Having worked in electronic sales and management for seven years and a further two years on the road for an international photocopier company, I have a considerable amount of experience in explaining the complicated world of computers to novice users. All of the classes or tutoring that I provide rely heavily on the use of analogies to ensure that even the most novice users can understand the most complicated concepts.
