After a short break, I’m returning to accessibility training services.

I provide one-on-one training for blind and visually impaired users across multiple platforms. My teaching is practical and goal-driven: not just commands, but confidence, independence, and efficient workflows that carry into daily life, study, and work.

I cover:
iOS: VoiceOver gestures, rotor navigation, Braille displays, Safari, text editing, Mail and Calendars, Shortcuts, and making the most of iOS apps for productivity, communication, and entertainment.
macOS: VoiceOver from basics to advanced, Trackpad Commander, Safari and Mail, iWork and Microsoft Office, file management, Terminal, audio tools, and system upkeep.
Windows: NVDA and JAWS from beginner to advanced. Training includes Microsoft Office, Outlook, Teams, Zoom, web browsing, customizing screen readers, handling less accessible apps, and scripting basics.
Android: TalkBack gestures, the built-in Braille keyboard and Braille display support, text editing, app accessibility, privacy and security settings, and everyday phone and tablet use.
Linux: Orca and Speakup, console navigation, package management, distro setup, customizing desktops, and accessibility under Wayland.

Concrete goals I can help you achieve:
Set up a new phone, tablet, or computer
Send and manage email independently
Browse the web safely and efficiently
Work with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
Manage files and cloud storage
Use social media accessibly
Work with Braille displays and keyboards
Install and configure accessible software across platforms
Troubleshoot accessibility issues and build reliable workflows
Make the most of AI in a useful, productive way
Grow from beginner skills to advanced, efficient daily use

I bring years of lived experience as a blind user of these systems. I teach not only what manuals say, but the real-world shortcuts, workarounds, and problem-solving skills that make technology practical and enjoyable.

Remote training is available worldwide.

There seems to be a problem with my US number provider. Certainly not ideal, and I'm working on a solution.
solution found. The new number is +1 772-766-7331
@fireborn Which provider do you use?
@fireborn Oh you have a US number. nice.
@fireborn bookmarked. I work with visually impaired students at an English University and high quality general IT training with a Visual Impairment focus eg screen readers is hard to find. There's lots of sighted numpties two pages ahead in the manual authorised in government schemes to provide training , but they often lack the deep knowledge an experienced often blind trainer has.
@NatalyaD feel free to reach out. My US number is currently unavailable, but any other contact method works. I'm happy to talk further.
@fireborn @doubletap I'm glad to hear about a technology trainer who includes Linux. Most of the tech training I've heard about is Windows or iOS, sometimes MacOS, rarely Android, and I've never heard of someone including Linux. That's very good to hear, and that you go into advanced topics like scripting and using the terminal.
@emassey0135 @doubletap Linux has been my primary desktop OS for years so it only seemed logical to include it.
@fireborn Nice! How do you find Microsoft Office on the Mac with VoiceOver? I do have it and have tested it briefly, but just like pages I have had some issues navigating it. Don’t know if that’s me not understanding the interface or if I’m having an issue. LOL. Hard to tell sometimes. I know plenty of Microsoft Office on windows, especially given that I teach it. But I’d love to get to know how to use it effectively on the Mac.
@SerenaTori It's complex, but certainly not unusable. Make heavy use of the item chooser and hotspots and it's better.
@fireborn Thanks. Will check that out.

@fireborn Welcome back - hope it was a good break!

Are you (or would you consider becoming) an NVDA Certified Expert for your NVDA work? We publish a list of those who are, with contact details for those who would like to share them / provide services, and it's usually the first place I look when someone asks for a local contact: https://certification.nvaccess.org/

@NVAccess absolutely something I'm going to look into.
