Who I help
I can help you if you're...
Curious about the hype
You hear about AI everywhere and want to know what's real, what isn't and whether it matters to you.
Retired or later in life
You want to keep up, stay safe from scams and fake messages, and enjoy what AI can do.
A busy parent or hobbyist
You want a gentle start with the tools, or to understand how AI affects your children.
A student (18 and over)
You want to use AI to learn better, not to cut corners.
Working or looking for work
You want to use AI safely and well in your job, or to help you find the next one.

Get in touchHow it works
From curious to confident
Understand
What AI is and isn't, what it's good and bad at, and how to use it safely.
Engage
Hands-on practice with your own real tasks, not demos.
Build
You leave with your own toolkit: the tools you've chosen, set up the way you like, with prompts that work for you.
The aim is that you can carry on without me.

Questions
FAQ
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. Sessions start from wherever you are, and beginner groups are made up of people at a similar level.
Is AI safe to use?
It can be, if you know what to share and what to check. Safety is part of every session.
Where do sessions take place?
I'm based in Teesdale and work across the North East, from York up to Newcastle, in person and online.
Do you work with under-18s?
No. All services are for adults aged 18 and over. I'm happy to help parents understand AI and how it affects their children.
Will you set everything up for me?
I'll set it up with you, so you understand it and can look after it yourself. The goal is that you don't depend on me.
Do you sell software?
No. I'll help you choose tools that suit you, and many good options are free or low cost.
