What Chris Helps With

Every session is built around you: your devices, your questions, your comfort level. Whether you need help setting up a new phone, organizing your digital life, learning AI tools, or getting your small business tech on track, Chris brings patient, hands-on expertise directly to your home.

Personal Tech Tutoring

Most tech frustration isn't about broken hardware — it's about not understanding how things work. Chris provides one-on-one tutoring sessions designed around your specific devices and your actual daily routine.

Sessions move at your pace. Chris explains things in plain language, demonstrates directly on your device, and lets you practice with guidance. After every session, you receive written follow-up notes summarizing what was covered and the steps to take next.

What this covers:

  • iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows computer instruction
  • Learning to use apps, email, web browsers, and settings you actually need
  • Understanding how your devices connect and work together
  • Building habits that make everyday tech use easier and less stressful
  • Accessibility and usability adjustments to match your vision, hearing, or dexterity needs

Phone & Computer Setup

Getting a new device should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Chris handles the entire setup process so everything works right from the start.

This service is especially popular with clients switching from one phone to another, upgrading their computer, or setting up a device as a gift for a family member. Chris doesn't just turn the device on — he configures it for your life and walks you through everything before leaving.

What this covers:

  • New iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Windows PC setup from scratch
  • Data migration from an old device — photos, contacts, messages, and files
  • Email account configuration and app installation
  • Printer and scanner connection
  • Password setup and account sign-in assistance
  • Desktop, home screen, and settings organization

Device Setup Package: $280–$350, all-inclusive.


Passwords, Apps & Digital Organization

Forgotten passwords, duplicate apps, cluttered inboxes, files you can't find — these small frustrations pile up until your phone and computer feel like enemies.

Chris builds you a clean, maintainable system: a password manager that actually works, an organized home screen, a file structure that makes sense, and email that stops feeling like a full-time job. This is one of the highest-impact services Chris offers.

What this covers:

  • Password manager setup and migration of your existing passwords
  • Account recovery for locked-out email, social media, banking, and other logins
  • App cleanup: removing junk apps, organizing useful ones
  • Home screen and desktop layout that matches how you actually use your device
  • Cloud storage and backup setup
  • Email inbox cleanup and folder organization

AI Help for Daily Life & Work

AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini are genuinely useful — but only if someone shows you what they're actually good for and how to use them without getting misled.

Chris teaches AI as a practical tool, not a novelty. You'll learn how to write prompts, evaluate answers, and apply AI to real tasks in your personal and professional life. Chris covers the boundaries too: what AI can't do, when you should double-check its answers, and how to keep your privacy intact.

What this covers:

  • Introduction to ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and other major AI platforms
  • Prompt-writing for everyday tasks
  • AI for work: meeting prep, research, writing assistance, brainstorming
  • Understanding AI limitations, privacy considerations, and fact-checking habits
  • Custom demonstrations using your own real-life examples

Smart Home & Wi-Fi Guidance

Your Wi-Fi shouldn't be a mystery, and your smart devices shouldn't make you feel dumb.

Chris simplifies your home network, gets your smart speakers and accessories working properly, and helps you understand what's actually useful versus what's just adding complexity. No upselling, no unnecessary gadgets — just clear guidance.

What this covers:

  • Wi-Fi troubleshooting, router setup, and network simplification
  • Mesh network guidance (Eero, Google Wifi, and others)
  • Smart speaker setup and configuration
  • Smart home cameras, doorbells, and accessory basics
  • Honest advice on what's worth buying and what isn't

Scam Prevention & Digital Safety

Phishing emails, fake pop-ups, scam texts, and suspicious phone calls are everywhere — and they're designed to look convincing.

Chris teaches you how to recognize the warning signs, what to do when something looks suspicious, and how to protect your accounts and personal information without living in fear.

What this covers:

  • Recognizing phishing emails, fake websites, and scam texts
  • Identifying and closing fake pop-up warnings
  • Safe password habits and two-factor authentication setup
  • Account security review for email, banking, and social media
  • Emergency phone features and safety settings
  • Teaching the 'pause, verify, then act' approach

Small Business Tech Support

Small businesses don't need a full IT department — they need one capable person who understands how technology supports a real operation.

Chris brings practical tech leadership to small businesses: workstation setup, software onboarding, workflow improvements, website coordination, and content support.

What this covers:

  • Office workstation setup, refresh, and configuration
  • Software onboarding and training for staff
  • Website and content coordination
  • Social media setup and basic content strategy
  • Document workflow improvements
  • Ongoing tech support and consultation
