"I'd never heard of Joel before answering his ad online, and didn't know what to expect. I was impressed that he responded quickly to my call. He arrived when he said he would, and he was totally concentrated on my computer questions. He is clearly knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and most of all - for me - patient! He is generous with his knowledge of all computers, and encourages me to contact him whenever I can't understand a computer related issue. He was able to answer all my questions, and usually expanded on his answers, leaving me much more knowledge than I had before he gave his help. I feel that I have found an honest, principled expert who actually wants to 'fix the problem'. My husband and I count ourselves fortunate to have found Joel, and we intend to stay in touch with him for computer help. In our opinion, he's 'one-in-a-million'."

"Joel's extensive knowledge, natural ability to teach and unwavering patience have given me computer skills I thought I could never comprehend. Joel succeeded in reducing my frustration with learning and I was able to learn where all computer classes had failed. Whatever your needs concerning a computer Joel will personally, patiently and professionally guide you. He showed me logical progression of programs but was very flexible in answering scattered questions. I give the highest recommendation for Joel."

Do you or your employees need some friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and affordable
training and assistance with personal computers, mobile devices, cloud computing, or Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing (SEO/SEM) at your home or business?
Could you use guidance with Microsoft Windows (including Windows 8), Microsoft Office, Apple iMac, MacBook, Mac OS, the Internet, email, mobile devices such as Apple iPhones, iPads, Android phones, Android tablets, Apple iCloud, Google Drive, Apple and Android mobile apps, or other cloud-based and computer-related products, devices, programs, features, and services?
Do you want your website to appear dramatically higher in search results to attract far more visitors and customers?
I'm an experienced and talented computer professional with excellent communication skills and a very patient, gentle tutoring style.
My previous employers and positions include...
I help adults - as well as people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds - learn computers comfortably and confidently, at a pace that's right for them. Although I'm a computer professional with a Computer Science degree, I don't try to impress you or overwhelm you with computer terminology and technical jargon. I listen to your needs and speak to you in plain English, so that you can relax and realize your full potential. Whether your goals are modest or ambitious, my purpose is to help you understand and achieve anything you'd like to accomplish with your computer or mobile device.
We meet wherever you prefer - at your home, your place of business, my home, or any location that's convenient for you, including coffee shops, public libraries, and other spots with wireless Internet (I also bring my own Wi-Fi, so regardless of where we meet, we always have Internet access). I'm available weekdays and weekends, including evenings.

Some of the areas in which I can help...
(This paragraph applies only to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) for your website - if your needs do not require SEO/SEM, please skip to the next section.) If you'd like to learn how to significantly improve your website's position in search results, I can personally show you how to do so. Consider that I'm just one local individual with a very small marketing budget, yet by employing my own self-developed set of SEO/SEM techniques, my site dominates the top of search results, and - as a result - I have far more clients than anyone else in my field. I can show you how to do the same for your website and your business. If you're serious about growing your business, please feel welcome to contact me or visit my SEO/SEM website here.
My rate for everything other than SEO/SEM is $35 per hour for everything except SEO/SEM. My rate to personally teach you my proprietary SEO/SEM techniques is $125 per hour, with a mandatory non-disclosure agreement.
All visits are scheduled by appointment only and require a 2-hour minimum. I accept checks, cash, major credit cards, and PayPal.
I can provide exceptional local references, reviews, and recommendations attesting to the integrity of my character and the quality of my work. (I think my clients say it best - please visit my Testimonials page or view my LinkedIn and Yelp profiles for some examples (on Yelp, be sure to also read my 'filtered' reviews).
Please feel welcome to contact me at your convenience to discuss your individual needs, or to schedule an appointment.
Thank you for your interest. I look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Joel K.
