Safer everyday habits
Recognize fake popups, pause suspicious support requests, choose trusted provider paths, and understand what should never be shared.
Focused goals, customer control
Practice now and keep the steps for later.
- Choose one to three practical goals before the lesson so the visit stays focused.
- The customer uses their own device and performs each step while Tech Genie coaches instead of taking control away.
- Practice the agreed computer, phone, or tablet workflow and ask questions at the customer’s pace.
- Leave with a personalized cheat sheet and an optional focused follow-up when additional help would be useful.
Lesson boundaries
- This is one-on-one technical instruction, not caregiving, medical support, classroom certification, or an unlimited help desk.
- Passwords, MFA codes, purchases, subscriptions, account recovery, and sensitive decisions stay under customer control.
- No banking, payment, medical-app, identity-recovery, or private-file tasks are performed during a lesson.
- No passcode, Activation Lock, ownership, or device-security bypass and no guaranteed account recovery or device repair.
- Family participation and follow-up notes require customer consent. Any remote session must be explicit, visible, time-bounded, and customer-controlled.
- A lesson can build confidence, but Tech Genie does not guarantee a learning outcome or promise ongoing availability after the agreed visit.
Price, scope, and privacy
Agree the lesson goals and price first.
This is technology support, not legal, banking, medical or fraud-recovery advice. You approve the work and control device access, even if a family member books or pays for the visit.
One-hour starting visit · from $95
Focus on the agreed problem first.
- Review the device, symptom, and safe next step.
- Explain approved changes in plain English while the customer stays present.
- Leave useful notes and identify any separate repair, purchase, or follow-up that needs approval.
Customer-control boundaries
Private information stays private.
- The $95 starting point covers a one-hour service call or diagnostic for the agreed issue. Extra devices, extended labor, parts, purchases, or a larger project require approval before the scope or price changes.
- The customer stays present and types passwords and MFA codes directly. Tech Genie does not collect credentials, make purchases, or inspect unrelated private files.
- Fraud recovery, legal advice, banking disputes, medical-device support, identity recovery, and guaranteed account recovery are outside this service.
- Board-level repair, warranty-depot work, manufacturer-only replacement claims, hidden monitoring, and unattended or open-ended remote access are outside scope.
If a scam, payment, bank, or identity issue may be involved, contact the account provider first from a trusted phone or device.

Senior tech support FAQ
Senior tech support questions
Can an adult child arrange a lesson and receive notes?
Yes, with the customer’s consent. An adult child can arrange the visit and receive approved follow-up notes, while the customer remains in control of the lesson goals, device access, passwords, MFA codes, purchases, account recovery, and the work performed.
Do you offer one-on-one computer lessons for seniors in Los Angeles?
Yes. Tech Genie offers patient, customer-paced technical instruction on a customer-owned Windows or Mac computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android device in the Los Angeles area. Each focused lesson starts with one to three practical goals and depends on schedule, ZIP code, access, and scope.
What can a patient technology lesson cover?
A focused lesson can cover Windows or Mac navigation, files and folders, browser basics, email, printing, calls, texts, photos, apps, Wi-Fi, FaceTime or Zoom, notifications, and requested accessibility settings. The customer performs the steps while Tech Genie coaches and can receive a personalized cheat sheet.
Will you take over the device or ask for passwords?
No. The customer performs the agreed steps and types passwords and MFA codes directly. Tech Genie does not collect credentials or use unattended remote access; any remote session must be explicit, visible, time-bounded, and customer-controlled.
Do you provide in-home tech support for seniors in Los Angeles?
Yes. Tech Genie provides patient in-home technology help in the Los Angeles area for older adults, parents, and families. Availability depends on ZIP code, schedule, access, parking, and scope.
What if a scam, bank login, or suspicious remote access was involved?
If money, banking, identity, or account access may be involved, contact the bank, card provider, or account provider from a trusted phone or device immediately. Tech Genie can help with device cleanup and practical next steps, but cannot reverse fraud or guarantee account recovery.
