It's great to have a technically aware friend you can talk to about computers, someone you can ask for advice on buying a new computer or using the internet, or who can explain more about how your computer works. If you are not lucky enough to have such a technical friend to hand, where do you start?

I have many years' experience helping people get the most from their computers, from complete technophobes to those looking to expand their existing knowledge. What's more, I enjoy it! So if you're in the Cheltenham/Gloucester area and are looking for some personal help with your personal computer, give me a call or drop me an email. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and all requests will be considered.

How does it work?

I will come to your house and work with your computer, so you know everything will work once I've gone.

Prices will depend on what you need, but will be agreed before work starts so there are no hidden surprises.

Whatever you are looking for, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your needs and decide on a course of action. This consultation is free whether you decide to follow up with me or not.
