Seniors / Over 50s Computer Tuition…

Don’t let anyone tell you that there’s an age limit to learning! We offer one to one, private, couples or group computer tuition to all ages – including Senior Citizens!

We can help you to learn a computer from scratch in a way that enables you to do just the things that YOU want to do – no jargon, a human to human approach.

Wouldn’t you love to be in daily contact with the family and friends that have moved away? – minus the expensive telephone calls. You could use email to have a catch up in the same way that you would send a letter but it sends and receives in an instant! You could view photographs of the kids having fun that very morning and you could even use Skype to have a face to face video conversation – just like on the phone but you can see eachother as if you there were no distance at all between you.

Here are a couple of our courses that may be of interest to the over 50s – these are run as group courses but can easily be tailored to suit private tuition.
