Teaching and Tutoring

For the past eight years I have worked with people with the idea of either me guiding them in the right direction, or teaching them what I know. Between assisting professional programmers to learn new languages and assisting family members learn to use their computers, I am confident that I have the knowledge and patience to help anyone learn what they are interested in learning.
