THE QUEST FOR A
SMARTPHONE
TUTOR
When Meredith couldn't find a tutor to teach her mother how to use her smartphone, she started TeachUTech, a smarphone and tablet education company. Her vision now expands beyond her mother's friends and neighbors to include any senior who wants learn together in a fun, socialable setting.
The TeachUTech team develops fun curriculums that encourage seniors to learn new things about their device(s) beyond making phone calls.
Course length ranges from 4-8weeks. Curriculums are designed to help increase knowledge retention (based on participants' active participation).

"It wasn't just my family.
My friends needed smartphone education for their older loved ones too."
"I knew friends and co-workers struggling to help their parents learn how to use their own smartphone or tablet beyond just making phone calls.
They spent hours trying to walk their parents or elderly loved ones through basic tasks, which only made their parents more dependent on them. This can cause a lot of stress and anxiety for families.
My family and I weren't comfortable having someone come into my mother's home by herself. Community centers and senior living properties offered a class once in a while, led by staffers who weren't skilled in this area.
So, after spending years in user experience and product development work, I started a smartphone education company designed to help people use their own devices."
