Meet Barb Smith…

As a computer basics tutor, my primary goal is to ensure older adults gain confidence and competence in using technology. I focus on simplifying complex concepts into easily digestible lessons, tailored to the unique learning pace of each individual.

In my sessions, I cover essential topics such as understanding hardware and software, navigating the internet, managing emails, and using social media safely. I emphasize practical, hands-on exercises, allowing learners to apply what they’ve learned in a supportive environment.

Patience and encouragement are key elements in my teaching approach. I strive to create a friendly atmosphere where questions are welcomed, and mistakes are viewed as part of the learning process. By fostering curiosity and providing clear guidance, I aim to empower my students to embrace technology as a valuable tool in their daily lives.
