Stay One Step Ahead: Your Essential Guide to Scam Protection

Does your frustration level get dangerously high when using technology? I can show you that with a little extra knowledge and patience these frustrations can be put to rest.
A professional tutor can empower people to achieve things they never thought possible.
Some Prerequisites:
To be able to see clearly, read and hear my voice, no serious mental impairments, your own computer, tablet or smartphone, and Internet connection. This is a high-in-demand service for Toowoomba City over 60 years of age only. Please note that I am NOT an accountant and do NOT offer assistance in preparing tax returns.
Caveat:
The business was originally conceived to help senior citizens learn how to use their technology. For this very reason I do NOT take clients under the age of 60, which is the official senior age in Queensland. e.g. You would not be eligible if you were 59 or younger.

THE JOY OF LEARNING
Education as we know it is changing rapidly. The classroom is no longer the only option to receive a world class education. With nothing more than an Internet connection and a computer you have the potential to develop knowledge and skills that will far outweigh the things you would learn just by attending school. The great thing about the school of life is that there are no grades, no tests, or requirements. It's purely about the joy of learning. The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you. |
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
As an older nurse and midwife, professionally and personally I felt constrained by my lack of confidence and knowledge in relation to the ever expanding and changing world of computer technology. David's gentle, patient and innovative approach to teaching and problem solving has empowered me to develop new skills which I am able to practically apply when using my PC at home and at work. For any senior who is wanting to overcome their fear of computers and open up whole new horizons, I couldn't recommend David more highly.
