Feeling overwhelmed by AI?
You’re not alone.

Your kid’s school is talking about it. Your competitors are using it. Every week there’s a new tool you’re “supposed” to know. Most AI advice is written by tech people, for tech people — that’s the gap I fill. I sit down with you, at your pace, with your real homework, your real business tasks, your real questions.

The method

Understand. Practice. Apply.

Every session follows the same simple arc — whether you’re 14 or running a 40-year-old family business.

1

Understand

What AI actually is (and isn’t), what it’s good at, where it fails — without the hype.

2

Practice

Hands-on, over-the-shoulder practice on your real homework, your real customer emails, your real tasks.

3

Apply

Leave with working habits and workflows you’ll use the next day — plus guardrails for responsible use.

Ways to work together

Clear offers. Tailored pricing.

Every student and business is different, so every plan is too. Tell me what you need on a free 20-minute consult and I’ll send a simple, custom quote — with small-group and community rates available.

In their words

Real reviews, coming soon.

I’d rather show you nothing than invent a quote. I’m booking my first founding students and clients now — their words will live here as the work gets done.

In the meantime, here’s proof you can actually check: real client sites in the portfolio, and the full story behind the work.

Questions

Asked all the time

I’ve never touched AI. Is this for me? +

Especially for you. Everything starts from zero — no accounts set up, no vocabulary assumed. Most of my favorite students are the ones who walked in saying “I’m not a tech person.”

Will AI just help my kid cheat? +

Used badly, it can — that’s exactly why I teach it. Students learn to use AI to understand material, quiz themselves, and improve their own work, with clear lines about honest use. Parents get the same playbook. More on the Students & Parents page.

Which AI tools do you teach? +

The major, widely available ones — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and the tools built into software you already use. The focus is skills that transfer, not loyalty to any one tool.

Online or in person? +

Both. Sessions run over video call anywhere, or in person around San Diego — whatever suits you.

What happens on the free intro call? +

Twenty minutes: you tell me what you’re hoping for, I tell you honestly whether and how I can help, and you get at least one useful tip either way. No pressure, no sales script.
