STC Learning

My Background

I have had a varied career. I graduated with a BSc in Fisheries Science way back in 1979. This was at a time before mobile phones, PCs and most modern day gadgets. I started a business with my Dad selling country clothing and accessories for the fishing/shooting fraternity. I loved it.  We had great customers, in the trade and retail. After my Dad passed I continued to run the company and we moved to a 200 year old mill.

Sadly the business closed in 1998  and I had a small retail shop for a short while whilst I set about teaching myself some IT skills. I learnt how to build websites and helped businesses with their online presence.  

I went through a difficult period where my mum suffered with dementia and after her passing I decided to make a life change and worked in the community as a carer mainly with Alzheimer’s patients. I enjoyed this and found that some of those patients were wonderful characters where technology made a difference to their lives. 

I am pretty much self taught and spend a lot of time learning and trying new tech. 

Who Can I Help ?

Because I am a senior myself and I understand  the difficulties us Baby Boomers have in dealing with technology I aim to primarily help those age 50+

Who Can I Help

I will help anyone who feels they can benefit from simple advice and tips on how to use modern technology. 

I’m here to help make everyday technology a little easier to understand and use. Whether you’re trying to solve a problem, learn something new, or just make sense of how things work, I’ll do my best to offer clear, practical, and easy-to-follow advice.

If something falls outside my knowledge or experience, I’ll always be honest about it. In those cases, I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction or suggest where you might find the help you need. I’m also happy to act as a sounding board—sometimes talking things through and exploring ideas together can spark useful solutions or help move a project forward. My aim is to provide support in a friendly, approachable, and reassuring way, so you feel confident tackling whatever you’re working on.
