As a Digital Skills tutor I really enjoy being around people, contributing positively to people’s digital lives and the wider digital community. Technology has moved on so quickly, which had meant many people have felt left behind and at times have missed opportunities due to a lot of services moving to online-only platforms.

The aim of my role is to minimize digital exclusion and enhance further digital skills. Delivering digital skills to all age groups from 6+ year olds and teenagers, right up to my oldest group aged 80+. I teach skills such as, how to switch on a smart device and make a call, to more advanced digital skill sessions on coding and website design.

Digital skill can sound overwhelming, especially when we see friends and family whizzing away on their devices like there is no tomorrow. I only know too well how people who want to learn skills are shown so quickly they don’t get the chance to see how it was done.

The Digital skills session we run is all about helping you become confident to use your devices in the way you want. It may be that you are wanting to do online shopping, find information or further your career. Doing a digital skills course will provide you with the skills and confidence to become independent and stay safe whilst using your devices.
