"I'm Perry! With a solid educational foundation and over 20 years of professional experience, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and a passion for teaching to my tutoring approach. I hold an Associate of Arts degree, a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications Recording Industry Production and Technology, and a Master of Science in Telecommunications Systems Management (IT). Throughout my career, I’ve held diverse roles in IT—from help desk support to network analyst, systems administrator, and IT Operations Manager—all within highly regulated industries like medical, financial, and banking.

My teaching journey spans both formal and informal settings, offering me a well-rounded perspective on how to adapt to different learners' needs. In a classroom setting, I’ve guided students through general computer studies, with a particular focus on the Microsoft Office suite. In the workplace, I’ve mentored colleagues on computer basics, systems and network administration, career development, and leadership principles. I take pride in fostering growth, whether it’s empowering a coworker to tackle new technical challenges or helping someone develop their leadership skills.

One of my most fulfilling experiences has been volunteering at a local organization, where I teach word processing and general computer skills. This work has taught me the power of patience and the importance of meeting learners where they are. Over the years, I’ve worked with adult students ranging in age from 18 to 80, in one-on-one settings, classrooms, and volunteer environments. My tutoring philosophy is rooted in creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere that builds confidence and equips learners with practical, real-world skills." less...
