TO BE GOOD AT/WITH (NOTE ON USE)

GOOD AT & GOOD WITH

1.    In general, "good at" is used with areas of expertise:

o    Stephen Hawking is good at physics.

o    Roger Federer is good at tennis.

o    Elementary-school teachers have to be good at child psychology.

"Good with" is used with specific objects or people:

o    Stephen Hawking is good with equations.

o    Roger Federer is good with a tennis racquet.

o    Elementary-school teachers have to be good with children.

The word "computers" can be treated as either an area of expertise or a set of individual objects. Therefore, it's permissible to say either "good at computers" or "good with computers".

Welcome to the forum!

Another note: Gerunds fall into the "good at" category since they're generalized actions:

o    Stephen Hawking is good at understanding complex equations.

o    Roger Federer is good at handling a tennis racquet.

o    Elementary-school teachers have to be good at dealing with children.
