Technology Tutoring Private 1-On-1
The majority of my senior and adult clients prefer one-on-one help and computer tutoring. Here you can ask your specific questions about your cell phone, computer, tablet and all your peripherals.
I can meet you at your residence, care home or a location of your choosing. Covid-wise, I have had 5 vaccinations. I am very careful with keeping safe and I am happy to wear a mask when I visit if you like.
I’ve also had an RCMP background check before I started this business to cross all my “T’s” and dot all my “I’s”.
If you have a spouse, they are most welcome to join in the session as well.
Drop me a line if you have more questions.

Phone Photography & Videography Tutoring
“I thought I needed an expensive camera to take good photos…
…… Gavin showed me how to use my cell phone to take great shots and make short videos. I love that my camera/phone is always with me and I can do as much photography as I want!”
- Claire Richardson
Most smart phones today, even the inexpensive ones, have a very capable camera for photos and videos. I’m a semi-pro photographer; I’ve sold and published my works and I’ve also have my own small youtube channel where I’ve made all my videos using only my cellphone. Have a look at some of the cellphone videos I’ve made below.
I’d be happy to teach you how to take great photos, edit them and make fun short videos with your cell phone. This is a particularly enjoyable course that can be shared with a few friends. We can meet at an outdoor location in beautiful Victoria, with lots of interesting subjects to shoot and film.
