About Mike, and Places He's Taught
Well...Mike's on the eastside 2018. Thirteen students total.
Some were a bit camera shy!
(One student enjoyed it so much, he brought his clown nose! Can your find him in the picture?)
Hello,
Glad you're here!
My name is Mike and I am an author and computer instructor who has trained thousands of seniors and adults in over 38 cities in Southeast Michigan over the last 12 years. I have taught at colleges, many senior centers, public libraries, adult and community education institutions, and independent senior living facilities.
My book: "Help! I Have a Computer and the 8-year Old Is Too Busy This Weekend!" was birthed as a result of seeing seniors (and adults) struggle to comprehend computer basics. (The book is for Windows 10 users.)
Oh, yes...I've heard the stories. Let me see...It goes something like this: "I sat down with my grandchild to learn a few computer related things, and they went so fast until I couldn't keep up!" Or how about this one: "I had my secretary do all the computer related work over the years and now I am retired and I need to learn this thing!" I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard those sayings!
I have responded to the needs of seniors and adults by authoring this book just for you! You no longer need to rely on someone from generation X and millennials' generation to help you with learning computer tasks! As you know they certainly know computers, but often they are not good teachers. This is where I come in! I consider myself your "tutor-in-a-book", meaning I have given thought to what seniors really need to operate their computers successfully. I think I got it: SIMPLE STEPS! My book has been tested and enjoyed by several hundreds of seniors over the years. Get a copy! Maybe get two for someone else you know.
