"Tasha has a prodigious amount of information about searching the internet and Google in particular. Her
enthusiasm for teaching and research is infectious and my discussions with her are always exciting because I feel empowered both professionally and personally. Using her search tricks saves me a lot of time because I get relevant and highly focused information more quickly than I did before. She is a saving grace for any working woman who needs to remain competitive in this job market because she can quickly point you to the right resources. Tasha stays on top of new developments and although she is very, very technically astute, she can also explain things at a novice level. On a personal note, she is warm and patient. I took one of her Google search classes and was thrilled to finally find a kind and knowledgeable tutor to help me wade through the internet."
