Seniors, Tech & Tea
Tech support & training for Seniors
Sometimes all you really need is someone to sit with you and
explain how your phone, tablet, or computer works—without
rushing, and without making you feel like you should already
know. But it’s not always easy to find the time or the right
person to ask, especially when loved ones are busy or things
just feel a bit overwhelming.
That’s what Seniors, Tech & Tea is about—helping people feel more comfortable using everyday technology, in a calm and supportive way. It’s not a class or a course. Just one-to-one help in your own home, at a pace that suits you.
No pressure. No jargon. Just clear, friendly guidance to help you feel more confident with the tools you use every day.

The point is, modern technology is getting easier to learn. And having successfully taught my mother some cool tricks, I helped her friends, uncles, aunts, and neighbours. They all enjoyed learning something new, and I got a real kick out of teaching them. So I thought, why not show more seniors how to make the most of technology? It's such a useful tool - particularly for older folks who may have reduced mobility. It offers many conveniences like online shopping, communication with family, watching videos, social media, email, text messaging, online learning, entertainment, and navigation - the list goes on...
It takes a bit of preparation, like installing apps and setting up accounts, but once that's done, it takes just a little bit of guidance for seniors with no computer experience at all, to learn surprisingly fast.
The feeling you will get when you master tech, is that same feeling of exhilaration, and sense of accomplishment you had when you first learned to ride a bike. I'm here to help you every step of the way, offering support and guidance in a friendly, relaxed manner, so you can confidently explore and enjoy the world of technology!

Pricing
It's important that all seniors have access to tech
support and personalised tutoring, regardless of their
financial situation. The conveniences of technology hold
equal, if not greater, significance for seniors as they do
for the wider community. With this in mind, services have
been priced to be as affordable as possible for the
majority of seniors.
* If the price is beyond your reach, please call
nonetheless - every effort will be made to accommodate
your needs. Alternatively, you could join me at Cessnock
and Kurri Kurri libraries on Friday morning for free "Tech
Savvy Seniors" classes (funded by the State Govt &
Telstra, and organised by the State Library.
