Online Tutoring for Basic IT Skills

It's frustrating when schoolwork assumes IT skills your child doesn't have. Spreadsheets, presentations, even organising files — it can feel like they're a step behind, and it’s hard to know how to help. But even when you can't teach them the software, you can still help them. You don't need to become an expert. Our Tutor Finder asks a few questions about what your child needs, and we'll recommend the right person to help them make sense of it all. No scrolling, just a genuine recommendation.

When technology starts working for them, not against them

It’s about more than just knowing which button to click. It’s the quiet confidence that comes from feeling capable. When your child isn't fighting with formatting or lost in folders, they can finally focus on the actual work. That confidence translates into everything they do — completing homework without frustration, and preparing for the demands of sixth form, university, and beyond. They stop seeing technology as a barrier.

They know how to build confidence and explain things clearly. If the first session isn't the right fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we'll find another tutor at no extra charge. The right support, guaranteed.

Kader (tony) B
I have been tutoring Basic IT Skills for the last 25 years.
I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve allows children to focus more clearly on tasks.Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. I also believe that differentiation and meeting varied learning styles are key to effective teaching and learning. Work should be set at an appropriate, but challenging, level. When I prepare...
