One-on-one week, with Wednesday at the Senior Center
This week is mostly private work — a session Monday, another Tuesday, and Wednesday at the Culver City Senior Center as always. Drop-in Day comes back a week from today.
Monday — private coaching
A private session midday. Most of my one-on-one work starts the same way: someone shows me the thing that’s been bothering them for a month, and we fix it in twenty minutes. The rest of the day is prep for Wednesday and time on the student side of the screen — I take classes of my own most Mondays, which is how I stay current for you.
Tuesday — an in-home session
Out in the early afternoon for an in-home appointment. Working at someone’s own desk, with their own devices and their own Wi-Fi, solves problems that are nearly impossible to sort out over the phone.
Wednesday — Culver City Senior Center, in person
Both classes are full for this session, so this is a report from inside rather than an invitation — here’s what’s on the table.
iPhone Basics at 12:30: learning to recognize and work with the icons and symbols on the iPhone — the little arrows, badges and switches almost everyone taps past without knowing what they mean.
Advanced iPad at 2:30: Safari in iPadOS 27 — what moved, what’s new, and how to get around the redesigned browser without losing your place.
That’s week three of six. Both series run again starting November 4 — email me and I’ll make sure you hear when sign-ups open at the Senior Center.
I’ve donated my Wednesdays to the Senior Center since 2013 and it’s still the best part of my week.
Thursday — behind the scenes
Nothing on the teaching calendar. A day for writing handouts, answering the questions that piled up, and my own continuing education.
Friday — behind the scenes
Catching up and getting ready for what’s next. Looking ahead: Drop-in Day returns Monday, October 5, 11:00 to 2:00 on Zoom — three hours, no agenda, bring whatever has been bothering you.
