For individuals & families
Small classes. Never more than twelve people.
Live on video, from wherever you are. Nobody moves faster than the slowest person in the room, every session is recorded so you can watch it again, and the person teaching is a super-senior herself.
Small-group classes
Live on video, capped at twelve
The cap is the point. Twelve people means the person teaching knows your name and notices when you have lost the thread.

AI basics without the jargon
$199
The place to start if you have heard about AI for two years and quietly have no idea what it is. Live on video, never more than twelve people, and every session recorded so you can watch it again.
- What AI actually is, in plain words
- Asking good questions and spotting wrong answers
- Practical uses: letters, bills, travel, photographs
- Recording of every session, yours to keep
Spotting AI scams
$149
The short, urgent one. Hear real cloned voices and fake video calls, learn the handful of habits that defeat them, and set up a verification phrase with your own family before you need it.
- Hear the current scams for yourself

- What to do in the first hour if it has happened
- A checklist to give the rest of your family
AI for your health, money & family
$249
For anyone who has finished the basics and wants to put AI to work on the things that genuinely take up time — insurance statements, medical paperwork, and keeping up with grandchildren who only communicate in pictures.
- Making sense of a medical bill or benefits letter
- Preparing questions before a doctor’s appointment
- Organising documents and photographs
- Staying in touch on the platforms they use

My promises to you
I will never ask for your passwords, your bank details, or access to your accounts.
I will never make you feel slow for asking a question twice.
I will tell you when a free option is better than paying me — and there are several.
Before you pay me anything
These are free, and they are good
Start here if the cost matters. If you want a smaller room and someone who knows your name, come back to me afterwards.

Free one-to-one computer help for seniors
Free beginner AI workshops for older adults
Questions people actually ask
I’m not good with computers. Is this going to be over my head?
No. Every session assumes you know nothing and asks nothing of you in advance. There is no test, no homework, and no point at which anyone moves faster than the slowest person in the room. That is the whole design.
There are free AI classes. Why would I pay?
Sometimes you shouldn’t — the free options listed on this site are genuinely good and I recommend them without reservation. What you get here is a group capped at twelve, a person who knows your name, and someone the same age as you answering the question you were embarrassed to ask.
Do you come to us, or is it online?
Both. In person anywhere in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and virtually anywhere in the United States. Virtual sessions cost less and can reach several of your locations at the same time.
We have residents with a wide range of ability. Does that work?
It is the normal case, not the exception. The material is built in layers so the confident people stay interested while nobody else gets stranded. Thirty years of writing technical documentation is largely what taught me to do that.
What does a session cost for our organization?
It depends on format, travel and whether it’s a one-off or a series. Tell me what you’re planning and you’ll get a straight number the same week — no proposal process and no pressure.
Will you fix my printer?
No, and I’d be doing you a disservice by trying. I teach; I don’t do device repair. I’m happy to point you to someone who does.
