Basic Computer Literacy Tutoring FAQ
Understanding computers may come easily for some people, but for others, understanding the concepts behind these machines can be a struggle. How can information be stored securely? What is the difference between online and local? What can one do with spreadsheets? Increasingly, if you don't understand computers, you're going to be left out of consideration for jobs.
Fortunately, there is a solution for those of us who might be struggling with basic computer literacy. Varsity Tutors can help you find basic computer literacy tutoring, which can teach you these concepts, along with many others.
Some of the major concepts a basic computer literacy tutor can cover are the following:
How to use Windows
Mac OS X - differences and similarities with Windows
Removable Media - USB Drives and disc drives
Basic Internet Usage, including terminology and safety
Basic Microsoft and Google applications
Basic computer literacy tutoring can allow you to test your knowledge without having to worry about ruining your expensive computer. Instead of clicking a mouse button and hoping for the best, you can use your computer confidently with an understanding as to what happens when you take an action.
Many new computer users worry about viruses, for example. But with a professional basic computer literacy tutor, you can avoid the typical ways a computer contracts a virus. Are you aware that most viruses are contracted when the user clicks a suspicious link that shows up in an e-mail or downloads a program that a friend recommends? With the help of a professional tutor, you can navigate the Internet more safely and efficiently.
Do you have any idea what types of removable media will transfer data between a Mac and a PC without costly additional software? If you put some information on a portable hard drive using a PC and then give it to a friend using a Mac, they will have a difficult time getting the data. However, if you put that information on a USB drive in the same situation, your friend will be able to get the information much more easily.
Finding a professional tutor with the help of Varsity Tutors will allow you to learn all of that and more. All you will need to do is use a search engine and type "basic computer literacy tutoring near me".
