Ambassador

One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. Mara will be happy to arrange your first Basic Computer lesson.

About Mara

I'm a passionate and patient tutor who loves helping people feel more confident with technology. I love teaching seniors and beginners how to use computers in a simple, stress-free way. With me, learning is always friendly, clear, and adapted to your pace.

About the lesson

My goal is to make using a computer feel simple, useful, and even enjoyable. No stress, no jargon. I specialize in helping older adults and beginners gain confidence with technology through clear explanations, patient guidance, and real-life practice.

‍ My Teaching Method:
I take a calm, step-by-step approach. Every lesson is adapted to your pace, needs, and interests. I explain everything in plain English (or Spanish), using real examples and screen sharing to show you exactly what to do.

A Typical Lesson Includes:

- A quick review of what we covered last time

- Hands-on practice (like sending an email, using Zoom, or organizing files)

- Time for questions or repeating any tricky parts

- A simple task to practice between lessons (optional!)

- I often prepare visual guides or printouts so you can review things on your own.

Review

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Mara.

Excellent! Patience! I was not remembering well and became flustered by the time pressure. I need to define smaller goals for each session and prepare more broadly for them. Perhaps I will need someone with me to get me out of trouble when I mistakenly break connections with the tutor. Let’s try again, 8:30 next Monday and I will try to write you some memos regarding our agenda. Please thank Mara for her patience!

Perfect! Mara is very patient and very knowledgeable on the Mac platform that I happen to be using. I’m in no way techie when it comes to computers and I made some mistakes with my storage resources on my laptop and Mara is helping me to get past that and get back on track on a scale of one to 10 to judge her services.

Mara is amazing teacher! I am so happy I found her for my kids! At first my daughter was studying with her and later my son. My kids are very different, but Mara easily found the way to make them feel comfortable, free to speak with her, she managed to make them be really interested and excited in things they were learning, so they were waiting every next class! She is just the perfect tescher every parent wants to find for their kid!

Mara has been an incredible teacher for both of my children. She quickly understood their different personalities and learning styles, and adapted her lessons to each of them. They not only learn, they enjoy learning with her. It's rare to find a teacher who combines warmth, structure, and results like she does.
