What I teach

Practical tech skills, taught with patience

Every class and lesson is hands-on, judgment-free, and tailored to meet you where you are.

General topics

Everyday device basics

Most popular
📱

Navigating Your Smartphone

Learn to use your smartphone, whether iPhone or Android - powering on/off, resetting, messaging, setting up contacts and groups, basic accessibility features, control center, camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, and downloading apps.

Navigating Your iPad / Tablet

Similar to the smartphone class, adapted for the larger screen and the way you'll actually use a tablet day-to-day.

💻

Navigating Your Mac / Windows PC

The basics of using a personal computer - powering on and off, basic settings, files and folders, using the desktop, and general operating system navigation in macOS or Windows.

Keep in mind: These are general guidelines and not every feature is shown. Modern devices can do a lot! Also, what gets covered in any given class is often dictated by participant needs and abilities, number and types of questions, and pace of learning.

Create Your Own *group & private

Designed around you. Want to practice taking selfies, making fun videos, or anything else you've been wondering about? We'll work on it together.

Note: Most group classes are separated by device type: iPhone/Android users, Mac/Windows users, and iPad/other tablet users, so you're only learning alongside people on the same kind of device.

In the classroom

Friendly, low-pressure learning

Classes are warm, social, and built around you. Bring your device, bring your questions, and learn alongside others who are figuring it out too. No question is too small, and you'll never be made to feel behind.

Most learners leave their first session more confident than they've felt about technology in years.

My Inspiration

Your Kind Words

Will is patient, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable asking the same question more than once. I finally understand my phone!

I bought my mom an iPad and she barely used it, until Will spent an hour with her. Now she FaceTimes us every Sunday.
