why coaching?
Do you feel like this?
As technology becomes more sophisticated, digital literacy has been declining among all generations. This can make you feel helpless and overwhelmed. From navigating software, understanding new platforms, to keeping up with security, this can feel like an insurmountable challenge for those who feel like “I’m just not that good with computers“. Personalised coaching can empower you and your family to build the mindset and the skills to take advantage of this exciting and powerful digital age.
Office Software
Learn how to finally do that trick in Excel or Word. Learn more about the Google suit of web apps. It’s up to you.
Using Online Tools
It’s impossible to be an expert on every online tool, but I can take you by the hand help you learn to use anything you need online.
Web Development
I have been making website since HTML was in it’s first iteration in the 1990’s. You don’t need code, but you will need to know how to manage your site, your domain name and manage the back end. I can help you!
Managing all those files
Never lose your photos or files again. I can give you a way of understanding how file navigation works, backups and cloud storage works.
Learn to code
Never programmed? I can get you started.
Buying Technology
Do you listen to the guy in the computer shop, or can you make the decision yourself what to buy? I can help you understand all the terminology and what they mean.
Assistance & Coaching for Secondary Students
Navigating Year 11 and 12 can be stressful and confusing.
If you have children negotiating their way through their senior years, or even if they are in the first year of tertiary education, I have an action plan that involves meeting up online once a week and coaching them in study habits and techniques. This program might be the catalyst to get them into their first choice.
The Autism Spectrum
My best programming students have commonly been on the spectrum. Digital Technology is a great avenue for students who struggle with other areas of the curriculum.
My experience working with students with autism, particularly in digital technology classes has been very successful. By creating a supportive and engaging environment, I’ve tailored my teaching approach to meet their unique needs, utilizing interactive tools and projects that resonate with their interests. This has not only boosted their confidence but also fostered meaningful participation and collaboration among peers. Witnessing their growth and enthusiasm for technology has been incredibly rewarding. Let me help you and family enjoy success academically.
