Covering Abingdon, Didcot & surrounding area
practicalities
What area do I cover?
I live in Steventon, Oxfordshire and cover the nearby towns of Abingdon, Didcot and surrounding villages in South Oxfordshire and the Vale of the White Horse within 6 miles of Steventon.
​
How much does it cost?
£40 for a 1-hour session. This is the minimum time for a personal visit.
Additional time charged pro rata.
​
**One session FREE if you pay for 4 one-hour sessions up-front. So you get 5 lessons for £160 **
​​​
How do you book an appointment?
Just phone me, email me or use the contact form on my ‘Get in touch‘ page. I generally work during the day, Monday to Friday, but occasionally do evenings or weekends if necessary. Most of my clients like to book only a week or two in advance so I can usually find you a time quite soon.
​
How much time do you need?
This very much depends on your requirements and is best answered by examples:
-
Mrs K of Sutton Courtenay upgraded to a new phone to replace a rather old one. I set it up for her, transferring apps and photos from the old phone, and then gave her a tutorial on how to get the most out of it. This took 2 hours.
-
Mr K of Drayton started with very little computer knowledge and had a course of 5 lessons over a 3-week period to learn the basics of Windows, how to use email, internet browsing and searching, and the basics of Microsoft Word.
-
Mr S of East Hagbourne had one hour to learn how to take photos from his camera and use them in eBay adverts
-
Mrs T of Abingdon needed help with her printer, and a general health check and tidy-up of her rather old computer to improve its performance. It took 1½ hours.
-
Ms S of Steventon wanted to update her office skills for a forthcoming job interview and had an intensive week where she learned the fundamentals of Excel and Powerpoint. She had 5 hours of tuition, with lots of practice in between lessons
-
Mrs D of Harwell has ongoing visits once a month to gradually expand her knowledge and answer any questions that arise between lessons.
