If you’ve searched “senior tech training near me,” there’s a good chance it’s not the first search — a lot of people try once, find a group class that moves too fast or a support line that talks over their head, and give up. At LithGeek in Lithgow, tech training for seniors is built around one idea: nobody should feel silly for asking how something works.
What people are actually worried about
Mostly it’s not the technology itself — it’s the fear of holding up a class, or being talked down to, or feeling like everyone else already gets it. Every session here is one-on-one or small enough that none of that applies. We go at your pace, answer the same question as many times as it takes, and there’s no such thing as a “silly” question — most of what people ask us has been asked a hundred times before.
What we cover
Video calling family, sending and organising photos, email, using a new phone or tablet, avoiding scams and dodgy pop-ups, online banking safety, and whatever specific thing is actually bothering you about your device. Two ways to get it, depending on what suits you:
- One-on-one personal tech training — a session built entirely around your device and your questions, whether that’s a phone, tablet, computer, or all three.
- iPhone & iPad classes for seniors — if you’re specifically after help getting more comfortable with an Apple device, these are run with seniors in mind from the ground up.
Help doesn’t stop after the session
If something comes up a week later and you don’t want to wait for another booking, you can also just walk into the Monkey Bar help desk — no appointment needed. Between scheduled training and walk-in help, there’s always a way to get an answer without feeling like a burden.
Right here in Lithgow
We run this for people across Lithgow, Katoomba and the Blue Mountains, and the surrounding towns — in the shop or, for personal training, in the comfort of your own home if that’s more comfortable. Get in touch to book a session, or come in and ask us anything in person.
If it’s a repair you need rather than training — a cracked screen or a phone that’s stopped charging — see our iPhone and Samsung repair guides, or the full Senior Tech Classes & Personal Training page for everything else on offer.
