Computers for Seniors - Created for
People Who Dislike Technology!
My clients are retired CEOs, Lawyers, Doctors, and almost everyone who always had someone to handle their emails, documents, accounting software, and computer related tasks.
Or, very simply, you don’t like technology and wish we could go back to a paper and pencil world.

Why Learn Technology at Home with
Computers for Seniors?
Personalized, One-on-One Instruction
Learning at home means you get the my full attention. Every session is customized to your pace, interests, and current skill level – whether you’re a complete beginner or just need help with specific tasks like email, video calls, or using your smartphone.
Comfort and Convenience
There’s no need to travel or struggle with unfamiliar settings. You can learn in the comfort and safety of your own home, using your own devices. This makes learning more relaxed, familiar, and easier to remember.
Hands-On Learning with Your Own Devices
Training is done on your own computer, tablet, or phone – so there’s no confusion when it comes time to use it on your own. You’ll build real confidence by practicing with the technology you use every day.
Flexible Scheduling
Appointments are set around your availability. No need to follow a classroom schedule.
Patient, Friendly Instruction
I specialize in working with seniors. I take time to explain things clearly, without rushing or using confusing tech jargon. No question is too small – every step is explained in a way that makes sense to you.
Boosts Confidence and Independence
Understanding how to use technology can help you:
Stay in touch with loved ones via Zoom, FaceTime, or email
Shop online or order groceries
Manage prescriptions and health records
Stream movies, read the news, or enjoy games
Safely explore the internet
Learning these skills empowers you to enjoy more independence and stay connected in today’s digital world.
Ongoing Support
Even after your session, you’re not alone. I offer follow-up support to help reinforce what you’ve learned and answer new questions as they arise.

Computer Repair and Technical Support
While I specialize in teaching seniors how to use technology, I also work closely with a trusted associate who handles all computer repair needs. He has extensive experience repairing and maintaining mission-critical networks and server-grade systems. Whether you’re dealing with a slow computer, connectivity issues, or hardware failure, help is available. If you need repairs or advanced technical support, please contact me directly and I’ll connect you with him – his phone number is not published online to protect his privacy.
What Our Clients Say...
About Me
I’m Kim Pestana, the founder of Computers for Seniors. With three academic degrees, including one in Computer Programming and Analysis, I bring both technical expertise and a deep understanding of how to teach technology in a clear, compassionate way.
Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience with a wide variety of computer programs and digital tools. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to adapt to each individual's learning pace. Whether you're brand new to technology or just need help getting more comfortable with it, I offer one-on-one guidance tailored to your needs.
One of my proudest accomplishments was teaching a woman with Alzheimer’s how to make and receive phone calls independently - proving that with the right approach, anyone can learn.
At Computers for Seniors, I’m committed to helping seniors gain the confidence and skills they need to navigate today’s digital world.
