<h3>An Important Introduction to Computers</h3>

<p>Ever since computers and their digital tools have become accessible to the general public, computer science has continued to advance in leaps and bounds - sometimes, perhaps, a little too fast. Some people find it difficult to keep pace with all these new technologies and easily feel overwhelmed. Even the government is going digital, with more and more forms only accessible online - and yet, a great number of Britons have yet to master this powerful and often daunting tool. Many elderly people have never even used a keyboard before.</p>

<p>Every day there is a greater demand for IT courses. It’s important to learn some computer (and smartphone!) basics to remain independent and autonomous. Learning to use a computer is also more and more indispensable in finding a job - whether during the job hunt or for the actual work you will be required to do. Becoming a fluent computer user is more than just a bullet point on your CV. It will ensure that you can navigate the modern working world confidently - and it’s also a practical way of staying in touch with family. Whether it is writing emails, sending pictures via WhatsApp or Messenger, teleconferences via Skype or sharing good news on Facebook, knowing some IT basics will help you communicate with people wherever they are - in the office next door or halfway around the world.</p>

<p>Beginner IT courses will teach you how to turn on a computer and where to go from there: how to use a word processing programme, open files, open a tab on an Internet browser or even how to scan or print a document. The younger generation may consider many of these seem self-evident, but the elderly often need more time and patience before grasping the concepts. You should count at least ten lessons for a basic understanding of the main functions of a home computer or smartphone. Once IT basics have been mastered, such as calling up websites, using search engines such as Google and downloading apps, it is possible to move on to social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat… On the other hand, in daily life you will rarely be called upon to know the inner workings of your operating system, whether Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 10, Linux, Os X, Unix or others…</p>

<p>Beginner IT lessons will generally focus on Windows or Linux and give you a general overview of how they work. More interesting are certain specific programmes such as Word Excel, OpenOffice / NeoOffice, Outlook, PowerPoint, Paint etc. These are universal tools in most professions and are often useful in daily life as well (for personal accounting, slideshows for a bachelor party or even that cover letter for your job application…)</p>

<h3>Perfecting Your IT Skills for Professional Projects</h3>

<p>Some professions require that you know more than just the basics to be able to function efficiently. Without being one of the IT crowd, you might need to know how to use very specific software programmes to do your job. For example, as a graphic artist you will need to understand how various pixel or vector graphic programmes work such as Photoshop Illustrator, CoralDraw, Gimp, Inkscape or Affinity.</p>

<p>It is fairly easy to learn IT through intensive courses or yearlong IT classes. Computer teachers will help you learn to manipulate programmes according to your wishes. Some let students bring in a professional project in order to ensure that classes address their specific needs. You can find IT courses in computer schools, associations or with independent teachers. Whether in short, intensive bursts or more leisurely weekly courses - there is something for everyone.</p>

<p>Graphic artists are not the only ones to need specific IT knowledge to navigate their workplace. Nowadays, the whole audio-visual branch uses computers, for editing, for example. These professionals of sound and images will need to master PremierePro or Final Cut.</p>

<p>Working in these branches means being ready to embrace new versions and updates - not only does software evolve, but your own workflow and preferences will as well. Whether you are just starting or have already been working in that area for years, you will need to update your knowledge regularly. Learning to use and being aware of the updated functions of the programmes you use, such as Lightroom, is just as important as exploring new software. There is often little sense in learning a thousand different programmes at the same time - take the time to truly master one or two!</p>

<p>Whether you are using Microsoft or Apple, these programmes can be adapted to your own personal IT profile.</p>

<h3>Choosing the Ideal IT Profession for You</h3>

<p>In the last few decades, a number of different professions have emerged in the IT sector. Software developer, programmer, IT engineer, systems administrator, web designer… the IT branch is booming like never before. And it’s not just IT firms that are hiring - many different kinds of companies need in-house IT experts to help run their day-to-day operations. And yet there still aren’t enough qualified computer experts to go around!</p>

<p>IT courses offering job qualifications are proliferating. You can study software development, search algorithms, IT services, internet security or digital encryption… And there are a number of private IT lessons or group IT classes available to get you up to speed and give you that edge on your university or programming school application - or private tutors to help you get your diploma once you’re in.</p>

<p>It’s hard to choose a profession in the digital world - but don’t worry, there are a lot of opportunities for additional training, and many a job in IT has proven a good stepping-stone for branching out into something else. But how to choose?</p>

<p>One possibility is to do an internship at an IT company (software development, IT project management, algorithmic computer engineering, micro-processing, computer research…) to see what resonates best with you. There are also a number of university courses that offer diplomas with industry experience.</p>

<p>Of course, you can also choose to become self-employed or, eventually, found your own IT firm. IT systems, computer science, information technology, datacentres, sysadmin, software development, computer engineering - whether it’s a bachelor’s degree, master’s or other diploma, your choices are manifold.</p>

<h3>Advantages of Private IT Lessons with a Tutor</h3>

<p>If you choose to take A-levels in programming or software development or continue on to university or a specialised school, you will certainly need to study hard. Some students feel overwhelmed by the pace of school IT courses. Others get hung up on one aspect and have trouble moving on to the next thing if they haven’t understood it yet. Private IT classes might be just the right solution. Most private IT tutors have been there, too - they understand the pressure and know what you will need to succeed in your IT course. Learning about computers with a tutor allows you to have IT lessons adapted to your own needs rather than following a strict curriculum. You can work on your weaknesses longer and spend less time reviewing your strengths. Whether you want to become a games developer, design hardware architecture, learn various programming languages or computer science with applied mathematics - you will be choosing your subjects yourself with the help of your private tutor.</p>

<p>Private IT courses are also perfect for anyone having trouble grasping concepts and needing learning assistance. Or simply for beginner computer users. How to use an Internet browser, typing lessons or introductions to administrative software - beginner IT courses with a private tutor lets you learn on your home computer - a substantial advantage as you will be learning on the machine you will be using daily, without having to adjust to a different operating system or keyboard setup - like learning to drive on a VW bug and then driving a Porsche 911 to work.</p>

<p>Familiarising yourself with all the features on your computer or even just a specific programme needs time. How much time will depend on the student. In group classes, some students will progress faster than others, meaning that some will feel lost, left behind, and dispirited. A good private tutor will, of course, discuss the number of hours they feel they will need to teach you a specific subject, such as php, javascript, antivirus programmes, programming languages, layout, database input and administration… You can learn all about computers at home and become an expert in new technologies!</p>

<p>Your tutor will be your guide. In addition to teaching you basic skills or helping you review your IT coursework, they might have contacts in the industry that will help you get into the computer science programme of your choice, find the perfect industry internship or even get your foot into the door at a renowned IT firm.</p>

<h3>Finding the Perfect IT Tutor</h3>

<p>To be a good home tutor, an IT teacher needs to not only know a lot about computers and programming but also master good teaching methods. They will know how to motivate you, adapt to your learning style (repetition, visual aids, mnemonics?) and understand your difficulties. Finding the right tutor for you will mean learning faster - though it is often not so much a question of whether the tutor is experienced in IT matters as of whether you can understand each other. Some prefer a sports-coach style personal teacher while others need someone to gently coax them along. Some personalities get along better than others.</p>

<p>The good news is, you are the one choosing your IT tutor. Unlike group IT classes or university seminars where the teacher is assigned, you will be choosing and meeting with your potential tutors and deciding whether or not to stay with them.</p>

<h3>Before you embark on your quest, here are some steps to take to help you choose the right IT tutor for you:</h3>

<p>Make a list of the programmes or skills you want to work on (telecommunications, systems maintenance, industrial programming…)</p>

<p>Decide on a few main points that are important to you in a teacher (humour, ability to convert textbook chapters into visual charts, good at finding the reasons for mental blocks…)</p>

<p>Decide what you do not want in a teacher (overuse of technical terms for beginner lessons, too much or too little repetition…)</p>

<p>Then go and scour the personal ads on the web or see if there are notices on corkboards in your local shops. See if students at the university are offering to tutor beginners in their subjects. Or simply enter “IT” and your city into the search boxes of the Superprof website, where many of our tutors offering IT courses UK also offer their first lesson for free. But even if they don’t - most tutors have a pay-by-class system (though some offer discounts if you book ten or more in advance), meaning that if you aren’t connecting after a few home IT lessons, you can cancel your next appointment and start searching for a new tutor without losing money. On Superprof, each tutor has a personal page where you can see their skills and experience, where they studied, and read reviews by students to see if they are the one for you.</p>
