Learn Basic Computer Skills

At Computer Rescue Derby, I provide patient, one-to-one computer skills tuition designed to help you build confidence and make technology work for you.

 Whether you’re an absolute beginner feeling overwhelmed, have been given a new device, or just want to feel more comfortable with everyday tasks, I’m here to help. My lessons take the mystery out of computing, focusing on the practical, essential skills you need for daily life in a clear and understandable way.

It’s easy to feel left behind by fast-moving technology or confused by technical jargon. My approach is simple: jargon-free, step-by-step explanations tailored to your personal pace and interests. There’s no set curriculum; we focus on what you want to learn, whether that’s understanding where your files are saved, sending an email to family, or simply knowing how to find information online.

My tuition covers all the fundamentals, from the absolute basics of using a mouse and keyboard to navigating the desktop. We can cover practical skills like organising your documents and photos, browsing the internet safely, and communicating with friends and family through email and video calls. A key part of this is learning how to stay safe online, spot potential scams, and protect your personal information.

I understand that it can be frustrating or even intimidating when a computer doesn’t do what you want. That’s why I offer friendly, local tuition here in Derby, where you can ask any question—no matter how small—in a supportive, pressure-free environment. My single goal is to give you the skills and confidence to use your computer independently and safely. If you’re looking for basic computer lessons in Derby for yourself or a family member, contact Computer Rescue Derby, and I’ll help you get started on your journey to becoming a confident computer user.
