Personalized Coaching for your Apple Devices

Lantern Light Learning’s philosophy is simple: “Personalized Coaching to help older adults get the most out of their Apple® Devices.” Personalized mentoring can increase your confidence with technology, enable you to improve your productivity, and keep you connected with family and friends at a relaxed and individual pace.

Mentoring sessions are typically 1 - 3 hours long (in 1 hour increments) and are catered to your needs.

While Lantern Light Learning offers mentoring to anyone, the senior community receives a substantial discount off of the regular hourly rate. This rate is significantly lower than going rates for this type of consulting.

Example Mentoring Topics:

  • Taking great photos, organizing, and sharing them with family and friends

  • Understanding iCloud

  • Getting the most out of your Apple® Watch

  • Document creation and sharing

  • Taking videos and simple editing

  • Understanding social media

  • Accessibility and Apple® devices (hearing & vision assistance, etc.)

  • Understanding and getting the most out of Siri

  • How to utilize QR codes

  • Understanding HomePod and speakers

One important point to remember when it comes to mentoring: No topic is too small to consider.

We don’t charge for travel or even time we spend just getting to know you - like hearing about your family and pets. An important part of the Lantern Light business is getting to know each one of you!

The business focuses on providing tailored sessions that cater to each individual’s pace and interests, making technology more accessible for seniors.

The sessions are designed to increase confidence and productivity, helping clients use technology as a bridge to connect with friends and family.
