Hi, I’m Joyce Ding
Your Halifax Senior Tech Tutor
Friendly, patient, one-on-one computer and smartphone tutoring, in the comfort of your own home.
About Joyce
A Tech Tutor, A Community Volunteer, and A Fellow Gardener.
During the COVID lockdown, my parents were in China while I was here in Canada. When they needed essential services, they could not figure out how to use their phones. I was thousands of miles away, helpless and afraid for their safety.
I never want another senior to feel that lost. And I never want another family to feel that helpless watching someone they love from a distance.
That is why I do what I do.
