I hadn't worked with a Windows operating system in years and had to learn even the basics. Brian's private Zoom session was not only helpful it allowed me to get going and practice what I learned. He's delightful to work with, loads of patience and encouragement. read more

He's knowledgeable, patient and able to pivot from question to question. He is familiar with most applications and takes the trouble to research those he hasn't used previously before appointments. read more

I'll update this review with regard to his actual tutoring but he earned five stars already with his response time and over the phone explanation of how he can help me. His confidence is exactly what's needed during the initial information gathering stage as it really solidified my decision to move forward. I've set my appointment and can't wait to see what Brian can teach me. I'm truly looking forward to this. Added bonus he has a great sense of humor and was very easy to talk with. read more

Brian is super knowledgeable and very trustworthy. He cleaned up my PC and laptop and put everything back it should be for their best usage- both for work and personal - He was professional, personable and sensitive to my lack of computer skills and made it comfortable for me to learn a few things! More than anything I have peace of mind now knowing my PC/LT are in great order and saving daily every thing I work on them. read more

It was a Saturday afternoon in the middle of a lockdown pandemic. Most businesses are closed given the circumstances. I haphazardly hit some keys that resulted in "black screen" on my MacBook Pro. I could not recover the screen no matter how many times I rebooted. I contacted Brian based on the Yelp reviews as well as another service. He responded within the hour and was just behind the other service. I am grateful for his fast response and appreciate the people that are still working in the middle of this lockdown. He also answered my questions on how I should move forward with my next system. Thank You read more

AMAZING working with Brian. Not only does he know the work he is nice and friendly and polite. He helped me with my internet issues for our whole house and some. He will be coming back to help with more issues like back up and tech design for a new build. Photogs and directors this is the guy for you. read more

He was so lovely and gave me advice on the phone so I didn't actually have to pay for a service in the end since it was a simple fix! He was so kind and honest! Thank you! read more

Brian is absolutely the best. I had a fairly complicated situation spanning six devices, and he straightened everything out in record time. As if that weren't enough, he had me repeat tasks three times each -- in a very welcoming way -- to make sure I knew how to perform them all by my old-ass self. He also has several packages of hourly computer tutoring lessons, which I'd recommend highly! He also showed up within hours of my plea. I couldn't be happier! read more

Brian is by far the best computer teacher mentor and not by design an maxing computer troubleshooter I have ever dealt.with it's not just his expertise, but also his demeanor and personality, which is patient in Carring. I had an accident a few years ago that affected my vision. It was debilitating and had to start back from square one, but a brian had the patience of a saint and started with baby steps and encouragement until I was back up and running. Wish I could say more without it sounding colluded but it's true, this is coming straight from my personal experience. Brian is amazing. I'm only afraid everyone will start using him and he will not have the time to be as responsive as he is right now. read more

Brian saved my computer and my sanity! I left him a message and he called me right back and set up a remote appointment for about an hour later. Same day problem-solving?! Sign me up! He walked me through troubleshooting, explained how the cloud works and and emotionally held my hand when we had to a full restore to the computer! But lo and behold my desktop files all returned to my reset computer thanks to the magical cloud! And, I was happy to know that it was in fact the computer that had issues and not the user! Hahaha! Thanks Brian! read more

Amazing service..! Brian is so knowledgeable, patient and kind. Looking forward to working with him again.

Brian is a great tutor and helped me with MAC issues since I am not computer savvy. At the end of our session, I was so relived and the computer "burden" was lifted off of my brain! Using ZOOM is the method I chose and it was as if he were in the room guiding my hand until I had confidence. Highly recommended! read more

I have the greatest Private Computer Tutor in whole wide world named Brian Newman. He is compassionate and understanding. I'm going to be able to graduate computers in a big way. read more

Brian was not only friendly and easy to work with and relate to. He completely got My Mac back in working order. It like almost new again! After a little digging around He found what was consuming my disc space and the computer is almost like faster than ever! Highly recommend!!!! Thanks again Brian! Scott read more

I was in LA for work and my laptop went on the fritz - with no time to waste (as I was only in LA for a few days and Needed my computer), I found Brian and he was able to not only figure out what was "wrong", but fix it and get me up and running fast so as to not miss any productivity time. I have since consulted with him from my home base in Miami and I trust his insight and his knowledge implicitly. He is not only very smart when it comes to all things tech (he has also helped me discover things about my iPhone that I had NO idea I could do with my phone)... he is comforting and compassionate and patient and I wouldn't think of calling anyone else. Brian is the best computer tutor - do not hesitate to call him now! read more

Brian really came to the rescue and I am so grateful. I was in the middle of a deadline working on my computer and BAM! it wouldn't turn on. Turned out I got a virus. Brian removed it and got my computer running again but this time it was faster than ever. I got my work in on time. Brian's great to work with and so smart when it comes to tech. He even gave some great tips on my iPhone. I'm so happy to know that I'll have Brian's number anytime I get a tech issue in the future! read more

I just purchased a new iPhone and a new iPad and I'm so happy to have found Brian. He made my data transferring so easy and he cleaned up my computer that now runs so fast like it's new. I'm going to hire him again in the future because is so knowledgeable, personal and patient and easy to understand. If you have any kind o tech issues Brian is your guy. read more

Brian responded to me quite quickly. I needed some instruction on my Mac. He is thorough and patient. I would definitely call him again. I'd be a fool not to! read more

Amazing! I am computer illiterate. I reached out to Brian for help learning how to use my Mac computer. A lot of these reviews are how he helped Save the Day. He helped saved my day, by helping me learn how to use my computer. It becomes extremely frustrating sitting at a computer trying to do things when you're not sure what you're doing wrong or how to do things. He answered questions that I never knew I even had. For example, how you click on the mouse matters! Which made the process of learning much simpler. I highly recommend him. Not only is he extremely intelligent, He's a great teacher. His ability to relate from life to computers to programs etc, was outstanding. I am in awe at how wonderful this experience was. How helpful it's going to be for me in the future. I look forward to more lessons with him once I excel at what he taught me today. read more

Brian is beyond BRILLIANT. He quickly helped to resolve a slew of sudden internet issues and took care of each problem. If you're looking for the best, stop you're looking and just call Brian IMMEDIATELY. Seriously impressed with all the knowledge he brings to the table--AND the calm presence, humor and kindness was appreciated as well. Can't recommend him enough!!! AMAZING job, Brian. Bravo, sir! read more

Brian has been a huge help! He is very patient and knowledgeable about everything I had questions about including clearing up my hard drive on my macbook air, syncing my apple computers and apple devices and setting up my iCloud. He helped me manage my photos and files. He also helped me install and use dropbox, numbers and pages on all of my apple hardware. He also helped me upload photos for my portfolio on a google drive to simplify how I share my portfolio with potential clients! I will now be able to take my business to the next lever with all of my new knowledge of how to operate my hardware and software! Thanks Brian!! read more

Brian is my computer guru. Not only is he the most tech savvy person I know but he is also the kindest and super professional. He has saved me countless times from malfunction (technologically) and meltdown (personally). He has been able to access my computer remotely making it possible to help me in times of crisis even when I am out of town. Everyone who uses a computer needs Brian in their life. He actually makes the frustration dissipate and the whole experience somewhat enjoyable. When I'm ready to throw my computer through the window, I call Brian. By the end of the session, I'm in a better mood and all of my computer issues are gone... read more

Brian is helping me learn all about my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Typically I am really bored with anything to do with technology. I just got finished with three months of training with one of the most respected teachers in Beverly Hills and I feel like I've learned more with Brian in the two weeks of one on one classes. Brian has made it so much fun. I really enjoy the lesson each day. I just finished 20 hours of instruction and I plan to continue another 10. read more

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Brian Newman for the past several years. Brian has a way of making even the most complicated computer issues seem fundamentally simple. I always appreciate his patience in helping me acquire my new computer skills and solving any issues that I may have. I highly recommend Brian's computer services to anyone at any level. read more

Brian was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I am not the best at social media and his advice was amazing. He helped me to set up a Facebook fan page for my business and I cannot wait to apply what he taught me during our tutoring session. He also helped me streamline my iPhone interface and get my email syncing correctly to my iPhone and my calendar. He's a very personable guy, easy to work with, and his explanations are easy to follow and right to the point. I have his card and I'll be seeing him again soon for another tutoring session. read more

Ok folks, I can't say enough about Brian. I met Brian over a year ago, and hired him to help me with more than a few things, I was stuck on. He was quick, patient, and professional. Since then I've continued planned lessons/tutoring with Brian to become more computer literate. This has help me gain confidence and proficiency with just about every Tech issue I come across. As I said, Brian is patient, professional and a great teacher. No embarrassment here because you don't know something. I've hired other tutors and Tech Guys, Brian by far is the best. read more

Brian was a lifesaver! The internet in our home has been spotty at best for years. We have tried so many different devices and services - and Brian came to the rescue. He helped me order the right equipment before he came, in order to maximize his efficiency "on the job." Then, he spent several hours here working on a tricky situation, and when he left, our Internet and all of our devices were in smooth, working order. Brian was patient and reasonably priced. We are so glad we found him! read more

Brian was the consummate problem solver for me. He overcame some technical difficulties with my Apple gear and got every device to work seamlessly with each other. His explanations were very clear and he exhibited extraordinary patience with my incessant questions. He's a pro and knows his stuff cold!!!! I would heartily recommend his services to anyone who wants and/or needs their problems solved - quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use his services in the future. read more

Brian is a wonderful computer teacher because he is not only very knowledgable about computers but also incredibly patient. Not only has he helped me with multiple different things on my computer, he has also helped me with my iPhone and smart TV. He has helped me catch up with the newer technological advancements in regards to computers and phones. I was previously very slow at using my computer and phone and he has helped me become much faster. I am a lot more computer savvy and computer confident now because of the lessons we have had. I would recommend him to anybody trying to catch up with all the new technology. 10/10! read more

Loved loved loved him, nice, capable, patient. He knows how to teach without making you feel like an idiot. Best thing that happened to me all year was finding brian read more

BRIAN IS THE BEST! I am so glad I found this guy. Most of the computer gurus I've worked with are depressed, lack social skills and have consumed far too many bags of Doritos. Brian, on the other hand, is a super-nice guy; very personable, easy to talk to and charming -- and totally buff -- like no nerd I've ever seen. Even my dogs liked him -- and they hate everyone! Best yet, he was able to troubleshoot some issues that have vexed me for years. He's equally adept with PCs and Macs, and he works quickly. He really knows his stuff, and he has the gift of being able explain it all simply to technologically incompetent people like me. He solved my computer issues in a jiffy, introduced me to some free apps that will make life easier, and resolved some problems I didn't even know I had. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Looking back on 2016, connecting with Brian and benefitting from his breadth of knowledge was definitely a highlight. I spent most of my career in a corporate environment with a crack IT support team and became spoiled and dependent on that. When I transitioned recently to working from home as an independent contractor, I didn't realize how helpless and vulnerable I actually was. With our first encounter, I was lucky, he happened to be nearby and was able to come to my home and help me. It was a weekend night, I was a little panicky and altho he had been most likely working with other people all day and into the evening, he said he would come to help me and he did. An hour+ later, he had restored the files I thought I had lost forever and I felt a huge sense of relief and was so very grateful. He identified how fragile my situation was and talked me into a CrashPlan backup account and then took the time to help be get registered and running with that right there. Since then we have worked remotely several times, with great ease and an enormous success rate. So the important thing to note is that he doesn't need to be in the neighborhood to come to your rescue. The whole remote thing makes it like you are in the same room, working together toward a shared goal. I'm old school and I own that, but he never made me feel like a dummy. He's patient, thoughtful, reliable and brilliant. Great qualities indeed. Do not hesitate to let him help you! read more

Brian is an excellent IT person. I consider myself a pretty savvy computer person, but I get to a point where I need a professional. Brian is an experienced computer professional- I was easily able to make an appointment with him for local computer networking help, wireless printer setup and file backup consultation. He came to our office and fixed all of our computers! He seriously makes it look easy. I'm so glad I called Brian and you will be too. He's cool and he handled our computer situation with ease. Brian- thank you!! read more

Brian is very polite, direct, and responsive... but most importantly, he is a wiz with both Mac and PC products! My (old) MacBook Pro has new life thanks to Brian. (Thanks Brian!) I highly recommend him. Such a great and pleasant guy who comes to your home and makes everything work again! read more

Brian is knowledgable and great to deal with. I have had Brian come to my house and also used an app that allows Brian to use your computer from his place and although to can see by watching where the cursor goes,, there are some safety measures built in to this app allowing this. His hourly fee is definitely on the high side, because he is good and fast, you end up not paying more than you would for someone with a less expensive hourly rate and less knowledge as well. read more

Once again, Brian saves the day. He has been my go-to guy for computers for a few years now and I have enthusiastically recommended his excellent services to my friends. Today he set up my new laptop, erased the old one, reconfigured my wifi network, and installed Apple TV. He is utterly competent and swift in all facets of computer setup, networking, and troubleshooting. Most important, he is a pleasure to work with. We were strangers the first time he knocked on my door to set up a new computer, but his easygoing, positive energy put me at ease right away. He listens carefully to me as I attempt to explain in laymen's terms the problems he needs to fix; he explains what he needs to do to fix the problem in terms that I can understand; and when he shows me how to work a new network or computer program, he is kind, patient, and clear for as long as it takes for me to grasp and understanding. If you need a computer guy, Brian is the man for the job. He's the best! read more
