IT Tutoring
Personalised, one-on-one training in the Tweed region
Technology can make everyday life easier — but only when you feel confident using it. Tweed IT provides patient, practical, face-to-face IT tutoring for people who want to improve their digital skills and become more independent with technology.
Whether there is one particular thing you would like help with or you would like to gradually improve your overall skills, your tutoring is tailored to what you want to learn and the pace that suits you.
What would you like to learn?
You don't need to know exactly what type of training you need. Tell me what you'd like to be able to do, and we'll work from there.

Something Else?
Have a different goal? Just ask. Your training is customised to what you want to learn.
Learn at your own pace
There are no classes to keep up with and no set curriculum. One-on-one tutoring means we can concentrate entirely on the areas you want to improve.
You can ask questions, repeat something as many times as necessary and practise tasks yourself with guidance along the way.
Bring your own laptop, phone or tablet where appropriate so you're learning on the technology you actually use.
Don't worry if you think your question is too basic. The purpose of the session is to learn, not to test what you already know.
Qualified and experienced
Learn from a qualified trainer
IT tutoring isn't just about knowing how technology works — it's about being able to explain it clearly.
Tweed IT tutoring is provided by Glenn Perry, a VET-qualified IT and Business trainer with extensive experience in information technology, training and adult education.
Training is practical and explained in plain English, with each session adapted to your existing knowledge and learning pace.
The aim isn't simply to complete a task for you. It's to help you understand how to do it yourself next time.
