You are already more digitally skilled than most people think. 😉

Some early flyers had QR issues – thank you for finding your way here anyway. You are exactly the kind of person I love helping: clever, curious and not giving up.

How it works

  1. Call or WhatsApp me and tell me what you need help with.
  2. We agree on a time that suits you.
  3. I come to your home and calmly work through everything with you.
  4. We keep notes so you can repeat the steps later if you wish.
  5. Optional: simple remote support if something goes wrong later.

Good for seniors, families & carers

Many calls come from adult children who live abroad or in another county and want to make sure their parents are safe and confident online.

We can start with a short call, agree what needs to be done, and I take it from there – patient, friendly and always respectful of the person I’m helping.
