Computer Tutoring in Bali: Every File Has a Place

• 01

  Seeing the Path of a File

  Every file has an address, and reading it answers most questions about where something went. Learners are shown where that address appears in the window and in the save dialogue, then asked to read it aloud.

• 02

  Telling a Copy From the Original

  A file opened from an email is a copy; edits to it never touch the one in your folder. This single confusion produces most of the two-versions problems that arrive here.

• 03

  Saving With Names That Sort

  A date written year first means the folder sorts itself chronologically. Names like final and revised stop working by the third revision, and everyone has met the file called final-2.

• 04

  Folders Shaped Like the Work

  One folder per job, year, or client, decided from how you actually look for things. A structure copied from someone else gets abandoned within a month.

• 05

  Online Storage Against the Machine

  A file in a synced folder lives in two places and a file on the desktop lives in one. Knowing which is which decides what survives when a laptop fails.

• 06

  Finding a File by Searching

  Search by part of the name, by date, or by type. Learners who search instead of browsing find things in seconds, and the habit also survives a reorganised folder.

• 07

  Checking Size Before Sending

  Most refused attachments are refused for size. Checking first, then sending a link or a reduced copy, saves the exchange of three emails that follows otherwise.

• 08

  Keeping One Copy Elsewhere

  One copy outside the machine, on an external drive or in synced storage. It takes a session to set up and it is the only protection against a failed drive.

1. Stage 1

   Files, Folders, and Storage

   Paths, saving deliberately, a folder structure shaped like the learner's work, and one copy kept elsewhere. Learners often say this stage alone was worth the programme.

   • Reading a path
   • Saving deliberately
   • A copy elsewhere

2. Stage 2

   Spreadsheets for Real Work

   A sheet built from the learner's own recurring task, with the formulas it actually needs. Practice files teach fluency with problems the learner does not have.

   • Your own task
   • Formulas that fit it
   • Checking the result

3. Stage 3

   Documents and Presentations

   Long documents that keep their formatting, headings that generate a contents list, and slides that stay readable from the back of a room.

   • Formatting that holds
   • Headings and contents
   • Readable slides

4. Stage 4

   Data and Simple Automation

   Joining records that live in several places, summarising them, and automating the part you repeat every week. Taken last, because automating a confused process multiplies the confusion.

   • Joining records
   • Summarising
   • Automating one task

• Administrative Staff

  Learners in Bali with the same report to assemble every week. Which task gets automated first follows how often that report comes round, so the hours saved show up on the next one.

• Small Business Owners

  Learners in Bali keeping records across a phone, a laptop, and chat messages. Bringing them into one place is usually the first session's work.

• Teachers and School Staff

  Learners producing marks sheets and teaching material in Bali. Formatting that survives being reopened carries the weight.

• Job Applicants

  Learners in Bali who need a CV and an email that reach the recipient intact. Sending a document that keeps its layout is a specific skill and it is trained.

• Accommodation Managers

  Learners in Bali running bookings on a shared sheet. Shared online storage and who-edits-what come before any formula.

• Learners Starting Later in Life

  Learners in Bali who avoid the computer for fear of breaking something. The early sessions are spent making mistakes on purpose and undoing them.

• The Computer You Use Day to Day

  Your own machine, not a borrowed or newer one. Where your files sit, which applications you have, and which habits you already use are all part of what is being taught.

• Two Tasks You Repeat Every Week

  The report you assemble, the list you retype, the message you rewrite. Real repeated tasks are what make the saving visible, and they decide which material comes first.

• The Files You Use Most

  Wherever they are: desktop, email attachments, a phone. Finding them together in the first session is itself the first lesson in paths and storage.

• Logins for Email and Storage

  Your email and any online storage, with the passwords you hold yourself. A session spent recovering access is a session not spent learning.

• A Small Notebook

  Steps are written by hand by the learner during the session. Notes handed over ready-made are almost never reopened, and the writing is part of the remembering.

If you are unsure what you repeat every week, say so during the consultation. The first session watches you do your ordinary work and finds it, which is usually quicker than describing it.

1. 10 minutes

   Checking Last Week's Work

   The task set last session is opened on the learner's own machine. What went wrong is more useful here than what went right.

2. 15 minutes

   One New Formula or Step

   A single capability is shown inside the learner's real file: one formula, one setting, one shortcut. One per session, because two leaves neither remembered.

3. 20 minutes

   Repeating It Unaided

   The learner does the same thing again with the tutor silent. This is where it becomes clear whether the step landed or the tutor's prompting was carrying it.

4. 10 minutes

   Writing the Steps Down

   The learner writes the steps in their own words, in their own notebook, while the file is still open in front of them.

5. 5 minutes

   Setting the Work to Do

   One notebook for writing the steps down in your own words. Self-made notes are the ones reopened most, especially in the first week after a session.

In a 90 or 120 minute session, a whole recurring task is rebuilt from scratch and then automated in one sitting, which is what learners with a weekly report to produce usually choose.

1. 01

   Name the Task You Repeat

   One thing you do every week on the computer. That task decides which material comes first, and it keeps the lessons attached to work you actually have.

2. 02

   Agree the Schedule

   The admin agrees the days, the times, how long a session runs, and how many fall in a month, working from the hours you can give to repeating that week's task.

3. 03

   Matching the Tutor

   The team looks for a tutor whose travel to your location in Bali stays short, and that search runs 1 to 5 working days. Learners starting later in life are matched with a tutor used to that pace.

4. 04

   The First Session

   Your own files are found together, the path of one of them is read aloud, and the way back from a mistake is set up before anything else.
