“Alex was incredibly helpful in setting up my new laptop computer. He showed me things I never would have known about the computer such as using Dropbox, the windows start menu, and how to organize my files so they make sense. He also suggested I buy a USB hub and a monitor, help me set them up, and now I can actually see the screen! He is very kind, patient, and seems to know everything about computers.”

"I've had several lessons and support sessions with Alex and have learned a great deal about using my computer and the internet. He helped me learn how to forward and attach files to emails as well as keep my system backed up regularly. He also showed me how to use Skype to call my sister halfway across the world and I saved a ton of money on my phone bill. He's very friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommended!"
