Computer Skills

It is one-to-one computer lessons with everyday digital skills designed especially for adults who want to feel more confident using technology in everyday life. We come to your home, work on your own device, and explain everything in plain English with no jargon, no rush, and no crowded classes.

Our digital and computer skills training offers gentle, step-by-step guidance on using computers, email, the internet, online forms, video calls, and other common tools needed for work, study, or personal tasks. Lessons are delivered one-to-one at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time for questions and practice, making them ideal for complete beginners or those returning to technology after a long break.

The aim is to remove anxiety, build practical, real-world skills, and help adults feel confident navigating the digital world—whether that means staying in touch with family, accessing services, or managing simple work-related tasks.

Learning made simple, safe, and relaxed

Who is this programme for

This service is ideal for adults, especially mature learners, who want calm, personal support with everyday technology rather than a formal IT course.
It is a great fit if you would like to:

Stay in touch with family and friends online
Browse the internet with confidence
Shop and bank safely on trusted websites
Write, save and find simple documents on your computer

You do not need any previous experience with computers, just a willingness to learn at your own pace.

What We Cover

Getting started
Understanding the main buttons and features, switching your computer on and off safely, logging in and finding your way around without worrying about “breaking” anything. You will learn how to use the mouse and keyboard, open and close programmes, and feel more comfortable exploring your screen step by step.

Exploring the internet
Using a web browser, searching for information, checking the news, looking up services, and recognising trustworthy websites. We also show you how to avoid unsafe pages, understand basic privacy settings, and feel more confident finding what you need online.

Staying in touch
Setting up and using email, sending and receiving messages, and making video calls so you can see and speak to family and friends wherever they are. We help you manage contacts, share photos or documents, and stay connected with the people who matter to you.

Shopping and banking safely online
Recognising safe websites, creating secure passwords, spotting suspicious links and emails, and protecting your personal and banking details. You will learn simple habits to stay safe, such as checking website addresses, using secure payment methods, and knowing what to avoid.

Writing and saving documents
Creating simple letters and notes, saving and organising files, printing when needed, and finding documents again later. We guide you through using basic word processing tools, naming your files clearly, and keeping everything in folders so it is easy to manage.

Every lesson is tailored to what you want to achieve. You can focus on the topics that matter most to you, repeat anything as often as you need, and build your skills at a pace that feels comfortable.

How the Lessons Work

One-to-one teaching in your own home
Your trainer comes to you, so there is no need to travel or enter a classroom environment. Lessons take place on your own computer, tablet or laptop, so everything you learn feels familiar and directly useful.

Your pace, your priorities
If you need to go over something several times, we will. If you want to spend a whole session on email, online safety or video calls, that is absolutely fine. You set the pace, and we build around your priorities.

Plain English, no jargon
We explain things the way a friend would, not like a technical manual. If something doesn’t make sense, we simply find another way to show it until it clicks.
