Adult Programs

This is a free one-on-one digital tutoring program for adults who want help using technology with more confidence. While the program primarily serves seniors, adults of all ages are welcome. Sessions are paced to the learner and focused on practical, everyday goals.

Each learner is matched with a community volunteer tutor and meets individually to work on the technology that matters most to them. One-on-one tutoring focuses on using laptops, smartphones, and tablets, including help with things like email, internet basics, online accounts, forms, services, video calls, etc. No prior experience is required.

Sessions are typically one hour long. Most learners meet with a tutor for about six weeks, though we try to be flexible and can sometimes adjust based on learner needs and tutor availability. Learning happens at the learner’s pace, with no pressure or judgment.

One-on-one tutoring is offered in person through local library branches and seniors centers in Salmon Arm, Blind Bay, Enderby, Armstrong, and Sicamous.

To register, learners can complete the online registration form using the Learner button on this page, or call the phone number listed below for assistance. Referrals may be made by the learner or by someone on their behalf. All requests go through a central intake process and are then sorted into the appropriate location and program as space becomes available.
