1-2-1 Online Tuition
HOME | 1-2-1 ONLINE TUITION
Are you a beginner when it comes to rEsearching your family tree?
Do you want to do a ‘do-over’?
If you’re not sure where to begin I now offer 1-2-1 online tuition to help you get started or to help you start over again and do it better! I will recommend books and useful websites to help you get started.
These workshops make great birthday and retirement gifts (gift cards can be purchased from my shop).
Duration: 1 – 1.5 hours (varies depending on how many questions you ask!)
Cost: £30 per workshop or buy all 4 for £110.
Delivery: I use Microsoft Teams. You do not need to download any software, just follow the link in the e-mail I send you. I will arrange a free practise session beforehand (lasting 15 – 30 minutes). This will give you a chance to get used to the software. It will give me a chance to find out what you want to learn and to find out a bit about your family tree. I may be able to use examples of documents from your family in your workshops.
