Read about our reviews
As a computer coach for over 25 years I have worked with many clients. Zoe is he founder of Computer Coach Australia and she first started teaching one-on-one to small business people to use computers in the 80’s. The main package or app that was used was an accounting package. Zoe has taught Microsoft office products, and Windows since their inception. She worked at TAFE as classroom computer teacher with a wide range of clients from small business to those with special needs. This included Government employees, seniors, workers compensation claimants, disability clients, English second language learners, mental health and technophobes.
Computer programs or apps that were used ranged from business packages, to video and image editing. PowerPoint is a favourite of Zoe’s and so are Apple products like Pages. Today cloud based systems have yet again changed the face of technology. We don’t even need to bring our computer with us or even own a computer to access your files. We can do almost everything today on a smart phone or a tablet. However, when creating websites and video / image editing it is best to have a big screen.
Founder of Computer Coach Australia
After leaving TAFE Zoe founded Computer Coach Australia to meet the demand for one-on-one coaching. We are all time poor and not many of us have the time to sit in a 10 week course 2 hours a week, hoping to learn what we need. One-on-one training focusing on the clients needs is specifically focused to provide the most productive way to learn.
Today Zoe is mentoring coaches to work throughout Australia as the demand is high with the changing world we see today as people are working more from home. Everyone is needing to learn the new technologies fast and there are many online opportunities to create a small business. All our Computer Coach Australia’s coaches are endowed with patience and genuine enjoyment providing training.
Working with beginners to advanced students requires patience, and knowledge of the challenges people face using technology. There could be hearing, sight or mouse issues or a genuine belief that computers don’t like you! Zoe is an Apple accessibility consultant and has spent many years adjusting her teaching methods to suit the client and this knowledge she imparts to the coaches. Her training style is client focused rather than subject focused which is why she started Computer Coach Australia. It is so important to ensure all learning gaps are filled as learning is sequential. Doing an online course is not going to analyse these gaps. The best training you can receive on a computer is one-on-one with a skilled computer coach teacher who has the ability to assess where your at and take you to where you want to go.
Computer Coach Australia Work Place Training & Assessment
Zoe is a qualified computer teacher with a Degree in Education for Information Technology and Special needs, and qualifications in video and film, as well as Cert IV Work Place Assessment and Training. She has assessed and trained many clients in the work place. As well as the experience and knowledge of the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector and in particular, the skills and knowledge to become a qualified trainer and assessor in the industry. Zoe creates learning programs, delivers training sessions, assesses individuals, and understands the latest industry practices. As a Computer Coach Zoe helps clients at their own pace.
One-on-one computer coaching can increase your confidence and productivity in the work place. Working on the computer systems that you work with every day. We are expected to be proficient at once when starting a new job or pick this up quickly. When a new system is introduced at work there may not be professional training and this can be daunting. Having a Computer Coach that you can call when you get stuck can help relieve any anxiety and sleepless nights. Computer Coach Australia has a range of services that can help you to ensure going to work is an enjoyable experience rather than one to be feared.

I would like to thank the excellent training I received at Computer Coach Australia. Susie was my Coach and she has a professional and friendly approach with clear instructions. I had no previous computer experience, and I was amazed at how quickly I was able to pick things up, thanks to Susie’s open and communicative approach.
In the first session, I was able to navigate the windows environment, send and receive emails in Outlook, created several word documents, insert files and pics, formatting as well as creating a basic Excel spreadsheet with simple formulas.
To be honest, I was not expecting this level of care and am very grateful for Susie’s expertise in providing the best possible outcome. In fact, I would like to investigate the possibility of receiving further training to improve my skills and would definitely request Susie as my trainer.
I am very happy with the training and would have no hesitation in recommending Susie to anyone who needs either basic, intermediate, or advanced training.
Kind regards,
John
I had the pleasure of receiving training from Susie Hobson at Computer Coach Australia. She was my computer teacher and I was helped to upgrade my computer skill level. I found Susie to be a fantastic trainer. Very friendly, and very efficient on follow up. Susie was very informative and had a clear teaching style, tailoring lessons to suit my needs and current computer skills level.
I am very grateful to have had Computer Coach Australia’s help and to have landed in the hands of such a capable trainers. Susie was very encouraging taking extra time to ensure all necessary areas were covered. If it wasn’t for her help, I would be nowhere near as confident and I can’t wait to get these skills into practice.
I Would highly recommend Computer Coach Australia to help with any upgrading of computer skills and to become more confident navigating around computer systems. I cannot thank you enough for all the help.

Basic Computer Training skills – Computer Coach Australia
I just completed a basic computer training course with Computer Coach Australia and would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent training and service received. Not only was I able to learn basic computer skills, but Susie also provided her expertise on my Laptop which was several years old and had never been updated nor used since purchased in 2012. The laptop needed quite a bit of work and Susie took the time to update windows and other applications and then help me become familiar with my laptop at no charge!! I seriously was not expecting this value-add service.
Susie is an excellent trainer and an absolutely lovely, friendly, and professional person who loves to provide value to ensure her students are happy with the outcome.
Susie has a very professional and friendly approach and communicates clearly and has the patience to guide me through basics until I was comfortable. Having had no previous experience with computers, I was amazed at how much I learned and how much confidence I got from the sessions.
I was not expecting this level of care and am very grateful I had the best trainer ever. I would recommend Susie to anyone who is interested in computer training at whatever level as she is very experienced and just a great person who is very caring and accommodating. Thank you Susie!!
Kind regards,
Marina

Small Business Owner – Computer Coaching
As an absolute novice on-line person, I had no idea where to start to set up a website for my business. Luckily I found out that Computer Coach Australia provided such a great resource on one-on-one training. Zoe was my coach and she is a whiz at setting these up. I could not be happier – especially as her rates are much lower than where you will find elsewhere.
I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough for her diligence, help, patience and immense knowledge of computers in helping me bring this website to life. If you would like a professional website at a fraction of the cost, I would urge you to give Zoe a call and check out all the services she offers here on her website – from beginners to advanced. Thanks Zoe!
Om Shanti

Senior one-on-one iPad help and support
This is to confirm that I have found Zoe Campbell to be an outstandingly helpful and successful teacher, iPads and cyberspace are challenging for someone born in Sept.1917, but by coming to my apartment and dealing individually with my problems, ( at a very reasonable fee, ) she has made a vast difference to my capacity to deal with them, I am deeply grateful to her and find her assistance invaluable.

I have worked closely with Zoe Campbell through my work in marketing support for the film group Bondi’s Dinner and Flicks by the Sea.
Zoe has worked with me in many capacities helping to engage people through her extensive knowledge social networking, producing creative, effective yet simple and impactful promotional material for websites, newsletters and flyers for promotion of our films.
Zoe has been instrumental in helping the team in developing ideas, organising and executing the film nights seamlessly. Our most successful film night was the screening of Utopia which was the direct result of Zoe’s idea to screen the movie Utopia.
In addition, personally Zoe has an extensive network of people she draws on which has also greatly contributed to the film nights. Her compassion, ability to engage people, think creatively and to share her passion for her work is evident.
She has successfully been able to engage the local community as well as influential, insightful and interesting people who have greatly contributed to the success of the film nights.
At our most recent film night screening Utopia, Zoe was responsible for engaging the local and indigenous communities, entertainers and people of influence which assured the success of the night. This included having George Newhouse speak, a former mayor of Waverley and currently an influential human rights lawyer who is the head of the Social Justice division of the publicly listed and well known Shine Lawyers.
Zoe has a rare combination of technical, creative and personal skills that have made her a significant contributor to Chapel by the Sea which clearly also underlies and highlights her passion for the work of the mission.
Yours sincerely

_Zoe Campbell is a highly competent media practitioner and video maker. She has many years experience in IT and working within the community sector with people. She has been of great assistance to my presentations in both her technical support and in her ability to encourage and relax presenters. In my interactions with her I have always found her to be friendly and helpful. I’ve also observed her ability to very skilfully communicate with people who’ve come into her contact, who may have some mental issues or be distressed in some way. I consider her a great asset to staff, both on a technical and on a human level.

I have known Zoe Campbell since September 2013, when I attended a talk by a group Warlpiri women at the Chapel by the Sea. Apart from being impressed by Zoe’s technical skills in filming that and other events for the Chapel, I was indebted to her that day for the compassion and support she showed me, in the midst the demands of her work, when I received personal news that caused me extreme distress. Zoe subsequently followed up on that support over what has been a difficult period for me personally.
Since then, I have been continually impressed by Zoe’s competence and flair in using social media to engage the community in the Chapel’s many inclusive activities.
I consider Zoe Campbell to have not only the requisite computer and social media skills but also the essential values to carry out her work at the Chapel by the Sea competently and compassionately.
Yours sincerely

To whom it may concern,
I have known Zoe for thirty years, first meeting and working with Zoe at Canon Australia for five years. Zoe worked as a Customer Support Representative supporting Canon’s suite of accounting solutions. Zoe visited Canon Customers on-site to install and implement these IT solutions. Zoe’s work ethic and work was exemplary and she established many strong contacts and friendships with, the mainly qualified Accountants she visited, some of who I know she still has regular contact with.
Zoe’s position was challenging and Zoe needed to be clever and self-motivated, requiring very strong problem-solving skills, the ability to get on and communicate complex business system solutions to her Customer base and continue to support and solve accounting system business processes. Zoe was very well liked by her colleagues. Some of the suite of software solutions Zoe implemented and supported were Payroll, General Ledger, Cash Book, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Spread-sheet and word processing applications.
As IT evolved Canon Australia’s accounting solutions were superseded by Industry standard solutions Zoe went onto a promising career running her own successful personal Company placing mainly IT staff. Zoe throughout this period wanted to cement her abilities as an Educator and trainer and enrolled at University to complete her Bachelor in Education. This decision by Zoe and her encouragement also led me to University studies in Accounting and Business Administration.
I know Zoe to have been very dedicated to her students at Port Macquarie Tafe. She completed courses in Film and attended Social Software seminars in her own time to improve her skills. I attended a Social Software seminar with Zoe in Coffs Harbour where she showed me her passion and enthusiasm towards using these communication resources to help in education. Zoe was teaching some special needs student classes at Tafe and looked to avenues and any resource that would not only help with their education but also to improve their lives and self-worth.
Zoe was passionate about her teaching position. She had moved to Port Macquarie to help care for her Mother who was unwell and then her Father and was also youngest the child in her family. After her Parents had both died she continued to provide help, mostly for her older Brother Keith who had disabilities as a result of being hit by a motor vehicle at a young age. She never let her Brother down. Zoe immersed herself with her Port Macquarie community and worked as a Volunteer on the local radio station. This is where I saw Zoe’s passion for film grow and whenever we caught up she was doing one course or another to improve her skills.
Zoe has over the years developed a special relationship with friends of the Aboriginal community. I have met some of these friends and have always admired Zoe just understanding how things worked and were. She happily imparts her knowledge to others and it is my belief, Zoe helps with the healing between cultures. I have never seen Zoe be afraid of anyone in need, she has a kind deposition and excellent listening skills.
Zoe then left Port to move back to her much loved Bondi Beach. She again became involved with her local community and directed her energies to the Bondi Chapel. I have visited her there on a number of occasions and witnessed the start of the Chapel Website and other social media sites where Zoe along with others at the Chapel improved the Chapel’s mission that attracted Visitors to nights of entertainment. When she was asked to look after the Chapel Op Shop, she enthusiastically took wonderful pictures of her clientele. She developed Op Shop social sites and helped promote the Op Shop at a major event at the Opera House. In our recent visit there, people were handing Zoe bags of donated clothing out of gratitude.
Zoe is a woman who does not do things in half measure; she is also a qualified and very experienced Yoga teacher and practitioner. Zoe has studied Ayurveda in India and is always happy to impart her knowledge to others. Through her Yoga and Ayurveda, Zoe lives a very healthy lifestyle and has always shown great passion and enthusiasm. She is inclusive by nature with others and often with those less fortunate than herself.

I feel Zoe Campbell’s teaching experience is varied and practically based. It’s not a “chalk and talk” style but a “watch first and practice” approach.
I teach as well and I see Zoe has compassion for the learner. She always strives to make the study applicable and useful to each of her students.
She focuses on them, not on her personal needs, and achieves outcomes through their energy and motivation.
In other words, she teaches with kindness and pays attention to the learner’s style of learning.
Regards
Simone
To Whom It May Concern,
I Lyle J Davis have know Zoe A Campbell for over thirty years. Her first job as a teenager was using computers in the management of a motor vehicle company in southern Sydney. She has worked in the IT industry with Canon after leaving her first job. Lately, she has advised me in the right direction of choosing a PC which she thought me how to use.
In my opinion, Zoe is highly capable with computer usage and with her instruction and use of such communicative instruments.
Regards
Lyle J Davis
