Trainer Profile:
Kristine Grass has been using computers since 1981 in a variety
of office settings including the legal industry and post-secondary
institutions. She has been helping students catch on to and catch
up with computers since 1993. She brings 12 years of teaching experience
from another field where she developed her unique facilitator technique.
She has taught group classes at Community Education, School District
No. 62 (at Royal Roads campus), Shoreline Community School in Victoria,
and Edward Milne School in Sooke. She has also instructed at various
large and small offices and at private homes in the Greater Victoria
area and up-island as far as Duncan.
Mrs. Grass’ company, KG Computer Training Inc., was incorporated
in 1997. She and her staff teach groups in classroom-type computer
lab settings, as well as individuals in office environments, or
at home. They offer customized lessons to meet specific needs for
practical, real world results. Their trainers possess a wealth of
professional experience, post-secondary qualifications and certifications
and have a wide array of software knowledge.
The KG Computer Training motto is that using a computer is easier
than it looks. Trainers use easily understood language and employ
step-by-step teaching formats. Teaching techniques involve collaboration
and facilitation with the student(s) based upon individual learning
styles. New topics are not covered until concepts are completely
understood. Advanced students are challenged with extra exercises
and more advanced topics. Students achieve confidence early on and
grow to explore and enjoy every aspect of modern computer use.
"I found every aspect of this course valuable but feel I especially
gained confidence in using the computer. I was afraid to touch it
at home!"
-- M. Eriksen
"I learned how to do things the proper way…Kristine
came to my home and assisted me on my own PC!" -- M. Hitchin
“Kristine answered all my specific questions, more so than
in a generalized class.” -- F. Weekes
"Very informative - enjoyed the class! I had no knowledge
of Windows, etc., and feel very good about my knowledge now."
-- M. Tubb
