About us …, IT Tuition

We are former members of the University of Cambridge with over three decades of technical experience who are now freelance.

We can provide training at a variety of levels both for individuals and small businesses.

Our consultancy can help set up or maintain systems and procedures bound to work flows and processes used within existing organisations to help the individual – and the organisations – manage change; especially those that involve IT.

Whether you want to develop your technical skills for personal interest, or for professional reasons we can help you achieve your goals. Our areas of expertise include helping you make the most of the Web (using the tools already out there), supporting you in creating your own online resources and helping you to develop an effective workflow.

We have particular practical expertise in helping individuals or small groups of teachers overcome techno-fear and learn to enjoy working with technology.

We are also able to provide training for individuals or small businesses in developing more advanced skills including package integration (a document with a spreadsheet and charts embedded), database design (a spreadsheet is often used as a database), programming skills, IT networks and working with Geographical Information Systems and maps.

Please contact us with your requirements and we’ll be happy to work with you on developing your training programme

Please see our IT knowledgebase for more information on general IT information and guidelines.

We are also on Facebook (IT Tutoring Training Consultancy). See what’s been said on our Facebook feed and our twitter feed.
