"Jane has really helped me to understand and use Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. She teaches you at your own pace, is extremely patient and ensures you understand everything before moving on to the next stage. Her revision and self-help assignments which follow each training session are invaluable too. I would certainly recommend Jane (and have already done so) to anyone needing help with computers and software/programmes generally."
Allan Westray

"As a teacher Jane Williams is excellent; patient, dedicated, clear and also she makes learning fun. She converted me from being a ‘computerphobe’ to being really rather an enthusiast, maintaining a clear sense of purpose and a welcome sense of humour throughout. She is an excellent teacher and a very likeable character. I thoroughly recommend her to others hoping to learn about computers and feeling that perhaps this is a rather daunting task ahead of them. Jane will resolve all problems, thoroughly and amusingly. Any pupil of hers is in an extremely fortunate position."
Emma Lloyd-Jones

"I contacted Jane Williams as I needed help with E-mail attachments. This she did with great speed and patience. Following this pleasant experience, I decided to learn more about computing, having struggled for many years on my own. I started a course of lessons with Jane and am very pleasantly surprised at the amount she has taught me, and the confidence that she has given me in such a short time. I feel that she has very gently pulled me into the twenty-first century. I can thoroughly recommend her patience and understanding of the individual's needs."
Gillian Neale Antiques

"Knowledge is of two kinds - we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it." Computers were not invented in 1775 when Samuel Johnson wrote those words. But like me, he would have found the talents of Jane Williams an immense help in his career, as I have in mine. Jane is cheerful, patient and deals with aplomb with any computer matters I set before her. She deals with both routine and confidential matters with integrity and as a teacher is first class.

Dear Jane, I do enjoy our lessons and feel it is good for me to have that spell of concentration. I found that with the class lessons that I started I got so embarrassed and then very flustered by it all, especially when we did the photo course. But now, thanks to you, I enjoy the digital photography very much and hope to experiment more. Very many thanks.

Dear Jane, Just a quick note to say thank you again for all your help in setting up our computer and printer, and in coaching two old codgers to get a bit more able to cope with modern electronic life! You were marvellously efficient and sensitive to our needs, and we are very grateful for your help. I am so glad I telephoned you in the first place. Goodness only knows if we will be able to cope now on our own, but so far so good. If we need further help I shall know where to come. Thank you again.
Yours sincerely, Nancy (& Bill), High Wycombe.

Hi Jane, The webiste looks good. All my new business cards, letterheads and car advertising are sporting the new logo that you made for me, and of course the web address. Thanks for all your help and professional advice - it's a pleasure to do business with you.

Dear Jane,
Just wanted to thank you so much for the tuition on Friday, I so enjoyed it and now feel less afraid of the computer and am now having a go at things! You certainly are extremely patient and very good at explaining things, and I really did appreciate that. I look forward to booking another session with you in the near future.
With all best wishes,
Maxime Pettengell

Jane, Thank you so much for your help this morning. I really enjoyed it and am very pleasantly surprised at the amount I learnt. I will, no doubt, need to learn more soon! Thanks again. I'll be in touch.

Yvonne’s message to her Sisters (28 August 2009 13:07):
Guess what, I’ve just had my first 1-to-1 computer lesson and it was great. So wish I’d done it earlier. Was really apprehensive and nervous as my skills were so basic, but the tutor was a very patient little lady.  My computer is going to be so much better and organized. I’ll actually have a full proof filing system once I’ve eventually transferred everything into their homes/folders.
Yvonne’s e-mail to Jane (28 August 2009 18:48):
Thanks so much for a very enjoyable first lesson. Just wanted to let you know what a fabulous tutor you are. Every single document is now living in its right home/folder. Once I had started I simply had to complete the task. I’m so chuffed. See you in a fortnight.
With Thanks, Yvonne

Hello Jane, I just want you to know how much I have enjoyed our sessions, and found you such a competent and relaxed tutor. Thank you very much for typing all those addresses for me. I am sure we shall meet up again so, until then, all the very best.
Warm regards,
Valmai

Many thanks for the lesson yesterday - the fog is beginning to clear - and I've done some follow-up - so with luck I'll have fewer nightmare scenorios!
Looking forward to the next lesson.
Best Wishes, Eve
