For more on Dr. Lunsford be sure to check out his bio.
Dr. Lunsford enjoys training high school level computer technology.
Doctor Lunsford has helped many students learn how to use their computers. He has owned and used both Personal Computers and MacBooks since 1981 so he is able to show many tricks he learned along the way to his students. He uses Microsoft products to run classes, create spreadsheets for businesses, and develop PowerPoint presentations for class. No one is able to do everything on the computer but this is where Doctor Lunsford’s knowledge of how to find information comes in handy. If you have something special that you wish your computer could do, just ask and he will work with you to find the solution. If you have had people be impatient with you in your learning process, you will be pleased that he will patiently walk you through all that you need to know.
An excellent experience. Knowledgeable, helpful, interested, courteous, and professional. Got the job done!

I was extremely stressed about my Stats project using Excel. Dr. Lunsford was so patient and helpful. I will be using his services throughout the duration of my Ph.D. coursework from now on! Thank you so much.

Dustie Lynch enjoys training others in both the basics and advanced components of computer technology. She can teach eager learners how to make Microsoft Excel SING, including display manipulation, formatting methods, formulas, macros and more. In Microsoft Word she’s proficient in tables, mail merge, and reference design. And for most Microsoft products she has lots of tips and tricks to speed things up (and make them more fun).
Some of Dustie’s qualifications in relation to computers include the fact that she started creating spreadsheets as an accountant at the very beginning of stand-alone computers, on an Apple II with VisiCalc, and was self-taught to the extent that she tutored other students during her quest for an MBA in Organizational Management from the University of Colorado. Dustie was the main instructor for her own computer training company for 12 years.
