Whether it's your first time on a smartphone or you want to stay safe online, we're here to help — with zero rush and zero jargon.
Calls, messages, photos, apps — we'll walk you through everything on your iPhone or Android, step by step.
From setting up email to browsing the web safely, we cover tablets and laptops including Chromebooks and Linux machines.
Spot scams, set strong passwords, understand cookies and permissions. Your data belongs to you — let's keep it that way.
WhatsApp, Zoom, Teams — get acquainted with video calls so you can see your family and friends whenever you like.
Banking, shopping, NHS appointments — navigating everyday services online without stress or worry.
Curious about taking back control of your devices? We'll introduce you to Linux and free software that respects your freedom.
We believe digital exclusion is a form of social isolation. That's why every session is built around patience, respect, and genuine care. You're never 'too slow' or asking 'too many questions.'
Every person we see gets the same patient treatment. No eye-rolling, no rushing, ever.
Our tutors are experienced IT professionals who chose to work in community support. They know their stuff but never make you feel small.
We champion open-source tools and teach you how to protect your data. Big Tech doesn't have to run your life.
"I was terrified of my iPad. My granddaughter set it up but I couldn't work anything out. TechPals spent two hours with me and now I video call her every week. They didn't once make me feel silly for forgetting things."

Real stories from real people who went from anxious to confident.
"After my husband passed, I felt completely cut off from the world. TechPals taught me how to use WhatsApp and Facebook. Now I'm part of a book club chat group and I order my groceries online. It's given me back a sense of independence I thought was gone forever."
Dorothy J.
Hampstead, London
"My son wanted to send me his baby photos but I kept getting confused by iCloud. TechPals came round twice and sorted everything. They even showed me how to spot phishing emails. Brilliant service — wish I'd found them sooner!"
Robert S.
Hackney, London
"I've always been suspicious of computers — too much hassle, too easy to mess up, but the TechPals tutor was so calm and encouraging. He installed Linux on my old laptop and now it runs better than ever. I'm actually enjoying learning something new at 72!"
Arthur W.
Wanstead, London
"As a carer, I struggled to book hospital appointments online and manage medication reminders. After three sessions I could do everything myself. The tutor even helped me set up Signal for encrypted calls with my GP. Life-changing really."
