My name is Joe Biberman
and I have successfully taught computer skills
to college students (ages 17 to 75) with disabilities for 17 years,  I can
make computing easy for you!  


To students and their parents: I have
academic software in many subjects that will help you gain more
understanding and improve your grades as well as links to free online
educational websites that I have personally tested. 
 
To Business People: Work smarter, not harder. When you
learn to do things in an easier way, your frustration will go down and your
productivity will go up.  I have trial versions of software specifically for
realtors, restaurants, motels, retail stores, dive shops, hair salons, builders,
boat and other rentals, daycare, insurance, etc. that you can try before you buy.
I also have interactive training software for Quickbooks, Microsoft Outlook,
PowerPoint, Excel,  Word, Front Page, Access, Adobe Photoshop,
Dreamweaver, web design, home networking, digital media. I show you how
to use the training software in a few minutes. Then, you learn at your own
pace the topics you choose in a simulated environment which will not change
anything on your computer.

To Seniors:  I can make using your computer easy and safe for you.
I am patient, can communicate well in a non-technical manner and have taught many
seniors with vision problems, hand control issues, memory problems etc.
