Top Ten Tutoring Questions

Plugging in...

Are you interested in knowing if your computing experiences are interesting, unique, or in the realm of the mundane? Read on as the Tutor lists the Top Ten questions asked about using technology:

Q 10. How is a person like me (layman) supposed to know THAT??
A 10. You aren't. It's not your field, otherwise you'd be a TUTOR too!

Q 9. What kind of computer (Phone, Printer, fill-in-the-blank) should I buy?
A 9. We'd be having a detailed discussion about wants, needs and budget.

Q 8. How will I remember all this?
A 8. You won't. Take notes, use the internet to research, call the TUTOR.

Q 7. What do YOU (the TUTOR) use?
A 7. Depends on the specific topic when the question was asked!

Q 6. Why do people create viruses?
A 6. For anonymous "jollies" because it's ILLEGAL if they're caught.

Q 5. How did you get started doing this?
A 5. NO grand plan or formal education. Visit efctutor.com for the details!

Q 4. There's a new laptop (fill-in-the-blank) out, should I buy it?
A 4. If it's not broken...

Q 3. HOW do you know so much and stay current regarding technology?
A 3. I read/research a lot; CLIENTS teach me the most with their questions.

Q 2. Where can I recycle my old computer (printer, camera, fill-in-the-blank)?
A 2. Your town or city; Staples, or check efctutor.com for more recycling options.

Q 1. How and why does this happen (question asked about ANY problem)?
A 1. More often than not, it is OPERATOR error. Sorry.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, and is it turned on?

Unplugged
