Impressed with Kathy - she's the best computer tutor I've had in a long time coming to Selwyn. GK March 2020
2023
Our computer skills were near zero until we attended the modern Selwyn College 2023’s six Microsoft Courses progressively covering various aspects over more than 25 thoroughly enjoyable evening-classes using large computer screens, which step-by-step advanced our skills to quite a level of competency. Our delightful and entertaining Tutor Kathy Skellern gave truly ever-patient, over-the-shoulder explanations and guidance with her clearly-structured introductions and overviews, followed by detailed directions, coupled with her vast previous professional experience, never rushing us, kept us coming back for more and more classes. We are amazed that we could master such relatively high levels of usable competence in such a short time even on techniques that we would not have imagined possible. The low dollar cost of the classes gave extreme value for money.
