Phones, tablets, TVs, computers. Anything tech that's giving you trouble. I come to you, take all the time you need, and explain things in plain English.
I get around town by e-bike, quick and easy on parking.
I spent three years as the tech tutor at the Spreckels Center in Coronado, where I taught iPhone classes and hosted tech workshops for the community. Between that role and helping folks around town in my own time, I've worked with hundreds of Coronado seniors. So chances are good we've already met, or a neighbor of yours has.
I help Coronado seniors get comfortable with the technology in their everyday lives: the phone that won't stop notifying you, the tablet that's just confusing, the TV remote with far too many buttons.
I get around town on my e-bike, Coronado proper or all the way out to the Cays, so I can usually be at your door the same day. There's no tech jargon here, and no judgment for asking "the basics." We go at whatever pace feels comfortable to you.
If you'd rather not have a visitor, that's no problem at all. I'm happy to help over the phone too.
Here are the things I get asked about most. Don't see yours listed? Ask anyway, chances are I can still help.
Setup, confusing settings, slow performance, or just "how do I do this again?"
Setting up Netflix, fixing a TV that won't connect, untangling the remotes.
Running slow, confusing updates, lost files, or anything else that's not working right.
Spotting scam calls and emails, and getting your passwords organized and secure.
Setting up FaceTime or video calls so you can see the grandkids whenever you like.
Printer won't print, Wi-Fi keeps dropping, or anything else that "just won't work."
Not sure which iPhone, iPad, TV, or computer to buy? I'll help you sort through the options in plain English.
Trying to pick between e-bike or e-trike models? I know the different options and can help you understand and set up the built-in programmable settings. (Note: I don't do mechanical bike repairs.)
Curious about ChatGPT or Siri's new tricks? I'll show you how AI tools can answer questions, write things for you, or solve little problems, all on your own, no experience needed.
