Tinkety Tonk Tutors

All of our tutors offer a free consultation, by email, telephone or in person, so if you are not sure we can help you, you can always find out for free.

Even though our tutors specialize in highly technical fields, for example embedded electronics, they are all capable of tutoring beginners in Word, Excel, and Windows 7.

All of our tutors have an office with a computer set aside for client use.  This computer will have the software you need installed on it.  When the visit has finished, this computer is wiped clean ready for the next client.  So if you want to take anything away from your visit, bring a memory stick!
