About Amy
Amy Burk has over 25 years of experience helping adults build confidence in their technology skills. Holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Michigan, she began her career assisting others with technology in the Business School computer lab. Amy’s passion for technology grew as she worked on innovative marketing technology projects in the sports industry for the Detroit Red Wings & Tigers and Home Team Sports (now Monumental Sports Network) and then in the software industry at America Online (AOL). Through these experiences, she honed her ability to explain complex technical concepts in simple, understandable terms and transitioned into education. For over 20 years, Amy taught teachers and school administrators in Fairfax County Public Schools, helping them integrate technology into their lessons and work. Amy is a certified Technical Professional Teacher in Virginia and also Google and Microsoft Educator certified.

Recognizing a technology skills gap among older adults, including family members and neighbors, Amy founded TechWise Coaching to offer personalized group and individual technology coaching for adults. She developed a curriculum specifically tailored to building technology skills in adults and offers regular group lessons at local community centers and senior residences, in addition to one-on-one sessions with clients. Based in McLean, VA, she enjoys gardening and tending to her beehives when she’s not spending time with family or staying up-to-date with the latest technology trends.
TechWise Coaching is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability. We aim to adhere as closely as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0, Level AA), published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make Web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly to everyone. While TechWise Coaching strives to adhere to the guidelines and standards for accessibility, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website and we are currently working to achieve this. Be aware that due to the dynamic nature of the website, minor issues may occasionally occur as it is updated regularly. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility.
