TUTOR - Jenny Robson
I have a B.Sc. Physics from Birmingham University, England. I used to be a computer programmer on the old mainframes, and now I have turned my hand to writing books and web pages.
The website that you are looking at is my website - I wrote it. I have been tutoring math in the Cowichan Valley for the last 10 years and have had several requests to tutor people in the basics of using a computer.
I have also self-published a book
"How to raise day old chicks in your back yard" which was all written using MsWord 2000.
