Whether you’ve just retired from a career near the Pentagon or simply want to get comfortable with a new iPad, we’ll sit with you at home in Arlington and go at whatever pace feels right. No jargon, no rushing, and no question is too small.
Many students bring a list of things they want to learn. We work through it together and leave written notes.
“I have worked with Daryl recently to straighten out multiple computers, photos, and generally try to bring me into the 21st tech century. He is patient, punctual, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. Highly recommended.”
Tech training in Arlington is often about working smarter. Remote workers, creators and small business owners want to get more out of the tools they already pay for, and lessons are one-on-one in person or online.
We cover Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Mac productivity, file organization, password managers and video conferencing. Lessons are tailored to your work and include notes you can refer back to.
Password managers and two-step verification
Two simple tools block most account takeovers. We set up a password manager, move your existing passwords into it and turn on two-step verification for email and banking. Most people are comfortable with it after one session.

I am pleased and impressed by the quick response and services provided. I’d been dreading the task of getting my computer serviced and Daryl made it so easy. He picked it up, kept in touch regarding what it needed, and when he returned it, took the time to show me some shortcuts and navigation tools.Read full review
