Computer training for seniors

Who is the Web Safety Guru zoom training and home tuition for?

Web Safety Guru computer training is suitable for all age groups. However it has been designed with seniors in mind. Youngsters will take the rapidly changing pace of technology in their stride, a new phone here, a new operating system there. People my own age and younger will have grown up with computers being an everyday part of their lives. Many older computer users may have only started using computers comparatively recently, either as a hobby or a means to stay in touch with people after retirement, or as a result of the Covid pandemic.

The computer tuition I provide is based on certain principles. Technology can be quite stressful and the pace of change is fast. Given that IT can be intimidating for many, people want a teacher who is calm and patient and will give the student all the time they need on a particular topic. Where possible I will show you how to do things rather than merely tell you. For example in the password section of the web safety training, I will show you how you can measure password strength for yourself and how to create an invisible folder or a password protected document.

My teaching method is based around doing things properly rather than based on specific technology that may be obsolete in a year or two. You'll learn the right mindset to have when selecting passwords or deciding whether to click the link on an email. You'll know what steps to take if you think you might have a computer virus and you'll be asking the right questions about privacy.

Computer tuition for your parents

It may be that you have found this page via a search engine and are quite proficient with technology. So perhaps you are looking at Web Safety Guru online computer training not for yourself, but for your loved ones. With some extremely expensive scams in circulation, you want the reassurance that your older relatives are not going to fall for those scams themselves. If you think Web Safety Guru computer tuition could be of benefit to your older family members, please get in touch. I tested the very first version of Web Safety Guru computer training on my mum so it's been designed for seniors from the very start.

Many of us are more worried about our parents' web safety than our own. In the main course I'll guide them through the key web safety issues on their own computer in their own home. Lessons can be online or in person depending on the location. You welcome to sit in on part or all of the computer safety training to assess for yourself that your loved ones are being taught important web safety information and in a comfortable learning environment. In addition to the main course, there are two Zoom based courses, one concentrating on Email safety, and one covering safety on Social Media that your parents could find helpful.
