Tutorials

Learn how to build your own WordPress Website or Blog (or both!)

It's a great feeling...
“From the very beginning Valli at Tinker Thinker was a huge resource to us as we began to put together our website.  I loved how she  took the time to really cover, in-depth, the information and resources that mattered to us but was also able to breeze past the stuff I already knew or that didn’t apply to our website so we weren’t wasting time on techniques that wouldn’t benefit our organization. It’s a great feeling to have built our first website from the ground up, have the confidence to publish our own content, and know that it was done right!”

Wordpress is one of the most dynamic platforms for building a website. It simply has the best search engine optimization tools available built right into the software.  Once you know how to use WordPress, you will be able to build a professional and polished website, to blog, sell products or anything you want to do on the Internet.

Tutoring takes place over Skype.  Every tutorial is geared to the person I’m teaching.  Lessons are one-on-one and are built around the things YOU want to accomplish.  How much you learn is entirely up to you.

I provide one-on-one tutorials.  You buy 12-hour blocks of time to use over the course of 2 months.

Why two months?

I like to work with my students in this format to ensure we have plenty of one-on-one time for lessons.  But you MUST practice your new skills outside the “classroom” to test your retention and ensure that you feel comfortable with your new skills.  The practice time allows you to determine what you know and what questions you still have for our next session.

At the end of our two months you can assess whether you feel you are able to fly solo or want to purchase an additional block of time.
