At Manly Computer Pals, our tutors play a vital role in helping seniors (55+) build confidence and independence with their digital devices. You don’t need to be a technical expert—just comfortable using your device and willing to share what you know. The most important quality is patience—listening to what each learner wants to achieve and guiding them at their own pace. Great tutors are curious, open to new technology, and eager to share their enthusiasm. Your excitement about exploring what’s new—whether it’s apps, online tools, or smart home devices—helps inspire confidence in your learners. In return, you’ll strengthen your own digital skills and experience the satisfaction of making a real difference in someone’s life. Our tutors provide one-on-one sessions, usually an hour long, once a week. Tutoring takes place in our clubroom or online, typically for 1–3 hours per week. Over time, many tutors and learners develop genuine friendships built on trust, patience, and shared success. The heartfelt appreciation from learners makes the experience deeply rewarding. Tutor membership is free and open to anyone with the ability to navigate digital devices—whether you use Apple, Android, or Windows. If you have knowledge of smart home technology or connected cars, that’s a bonus! As a volunteer tutor, you’ll help seniors enjoy learning about technology in a comfortable, friendly environment. Most of our members start with little or no technical experience, so your encouragement and calm approach are key to their progress. Manly Computer Pals has a Volunteer Agreement and undertakes a Police Check for new tutors.
