Beginner Computer Skills Coaching

@shobha1987

Hi, starting from zero is completely fine. Honestly it's easier to teach good habits from the start than to fix bad ones later. How I'd plan it (around 12-15 hours total, 1 to 1.5 hour sessions, 2-3 times a week): Weeks 1-2: computer basics, files & folders, then safe internet use: browsing, search, email, downloads, spotting fake sites and scam pop-ups. Weeks 2-4: Word (letters, formatting, tables, printing), Excel (entering data, simple formulas like SUM/AVERAGE, sorting, a small budget sheet), PowerPoint (a basic presentation start to finish). Last couple of sessions: simple maintenance: updates, antivirus, clearing space, what to do when something freezes or the internet stops working. Every session is on Zoom or Teams with screen share, and you do the clicking while I watch and guide. After each one you get a short notes sheet with screenshots plus a small practice exercise, and I'll record short clips of anything you want to revisit. If something doesn't click I'll just explain it another way, no rush at all. Timing is flexible, weekday evenings or weekends both work, whatever suits you. Quick question: is it a Windows laptop you'll be learning on, and do you already have Office installed or should we start with the free web version? Shobha
