Computer classes for seniors
Patient technology help for older adults.
Bryan Crouch teaches comfortable computer and technology classes for seniors, families, libraries, and senior communities in Indianapolis. Sessions can cover email, files, online accounts, video calls, documents, spreadsheets, passwords, scam awareness, and safe AI.
Start with what people want to do
A senior computer class should begin with practical needs, not technical vocabulary. Participants may want to send attachments, organize photos, use email, fill out online forms, join a video call, understand a document, or avoid scams.
Bryan demonstrates slowly, explains what is happening on the screen, and makes room for repeated questions. The goal is comfort and confidence, not rushing through a checklist.
- Email, attachments, contacts, and calendars
- Files, folders, downloads, photos, and cloud storage
- Online forms, account sign-ins, passwords, and verification codes
- Video calls, messaging, and family communication
- AI basics, privacy, and scam awareness
Safety is part of the lesson
Older adults are often targeted by convincing messages, urgent requests, fake support calls, and confusing account screens. Technology education should include the habits that help people pause, verify, and ask for help.
Classes can cover suspicious links, password basics, two-factor codes, privacy, AI-generated scams, and how to contact a trusted person before making a risky decision.
For families and communities
Programs can be hosted by senior living communities, libraries, churches, recreation programs, neighborhood groups, or families. One-on-one coaching is also available when someone needs personal help at their own pace.
