Computer basics

Computer lessons online, at your own pace

Being shown something twelve times by an impatient relative is not learning. A calm hour with someone who explains why, not just where to click, is.

Kindlio teachers cover the everyday things — email, photos, files, video calls, scams — and they go at the speed you need.

What a first session usually covers

  • Email, attachments and keeping the inbox under control
  • Finding files and photos again after you save them
  • Video calls with family, set up properly
  • Spotting scams and keeping your accounts safe

Who it's for

Anyone who has been made to feel silly for asking, and people helping a parent or grandparent get online.

Live video, one to one — no recorded course.
Free, a skill swap, or a price the teacher sets.
Cancel any time, before or after it's accepted.

Common questions

What if I can't even join the video call?

Ask a teacher to help you set it up first — several list exactly that. A phone call or a family member for the first five minutes is enough to get started.

Will they take control of my computer?

No. Never let anyone remotely control your computer or ask for passwords — teachers guide you, you do the clicking.

Is there a cost?

Many teachers offer these sessions free as a gift to the community. Others set a price. It's shown on their page.
