ComputerDriving® Lessons with Tomtie

Overwhelmed by technology?

It can be stressful and frustrating using your computer, phone or iPad and it doesn’t help when well-meaning friends try to take over.

Get confident with
ComputerDriving® lessons

With ComputerDriving® lessons, you are ‘in the driving seat’.

Our instructors never touch your keyboard, mouse, screens or even a remote control for you. Instead they talk you through what you need to do using the correct terminology so you are always in control and working at your own pace.

What are ComputerDriving® lessons?

time spent in the comfort of your home being instructed on computer tasks by a ComputerDriving® Instructor .

Like a driving lesson, you ‘learn by doing’ with expert supervision… except you decide where you want to go!

Learning new skills at your own pace with an expert by your side, gives you the confidence to develop those skills and go from strength to strength.

Newly learnt skills are quickly forgotten unless you practice them. Regular lessons ensure that you do.

What does a ComputerDriving® Instructor do?

Helps you to make sense of things. A ComputerDriving® Instructor uses the right words to guide you through your computer devices so you can set them the way you want. No more unwanted notifications and hard to read text!

Making your devices easy for you to use is a priority as is establishing an ergonomic set up where you sit comfortably at your main computer. Four eyes on a detailed administrative task such as getting a new parking permit or booking travel makes it much easier to do and ensures it is done well.

Your instructor explains in clear and simple terms what is happening when you go online and access the power of millions of server computers that enable us to email, shop, bank, search and all the other things we take for granted…

Lesson
Structure

A ComputerDriving® lesson

  • Starts with the instructor listening carefully to what the student would like to do
  • Ends with a recap of what was done

Each lesson lasts 50 minutes in the hour. 

Most lessons last two hours.

The 50 minutes allows five minutes for the instructor to arrive and settle-in,  five minutes at the end to review what was done and a 10 minute break in the middle so you can concentrate better in the second half.
