My mom called me crying.

Not sad crying. Happy crying.

She’d just had her first successful FaceTime call with my daughter.

By herself.

Without calling me seventeen times for help.

If you knew my mom’s history with technology, you’d understand why this was basically a miracle.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Let me back up…

“Mom, Just Press the Green Button” (Why This Never Works)

You know that feeling when you’re trying to help your parent with their iPhone over the phone?

“No Mom, the OTHER green button.”

“Wait, where did you go?”

“How did you end up in Settings?”

My mom is 78.

Sharp as a tack when it comes to her crossword puzzles.

Can remember every birthday in our extended family.

She turned into a different person.

Confused. Frustrated. Helpless.

73 Safari windows open and she’s staring at the screen like it’s written in ancient Greek.

Can’t close them.

Can’t figure out how they got there.

Just frozen, afraid to touch anything because she might make it worse.

Her “Password Notebook” had three different Amazon passwords.

None of them worked.

She’d already bought a new iPad after getting locked out of the first one.

$500 gone because she couldn’t remember if the password had one exclamation point or two.

Here’s the thing though.

It wasn’t her fault.

And if you’re struggling with your iPhone or iPad, it’s not your fault either.

See, there’s something I discovered that completely changed how I think about seniors and technology.

Something that explained why my mom kept “forgetting” everything I taught her.

But first, let me tell you about Margaret.

The Woman at Bridge Club Who Started Everything

Margaret is 81 years old.

She plays bridge with my mom every Tuesday.

And one day, she pulls out her iPad and starts showing everyone photos from her grandson’s wedding.

Swiping through them like she’s been doing it her whole life.

My mom came home that day frustrated.

“Margaret is older than me,” she said. “How does she know all this stuff?”

Good question.

So the next week, my mom asked her.

Margaret’s answer surprised us both.

She said she’d been using something called The Tech Course.

Some program created by a young man who taught his grandmother how to use her iPad.

My mom was skeptical. She’d tried everything:

The free classes at the library (too fast).

Me teaching her (too frustrating for both of us).

YouTube videos (too confusing).

Just winging it (resulted in three locked devices).

But Margaret said something that stuck with me:

“It’s different because he teaches it like we’re 70, not 17.”

I didn’t really get what that meant.

Until I saw it in action.

Why Your Kids Can’t Teach You (Even Though They Try)

Here’s what nobody tells you about learning technology after 70.

Your kids learned this stuff when their brains were basically sponges.

They can’t remember NOT knowing how to use a phone.

So when they try to teach you, they do this thing…

They grab your phone.

Fix whatever’s wrong in 2.3 seconds.

Hand it back.

“See? Easy!”

And you’ve learned absolutely nothing.

My mom calls this the “grab and go” method.

It’s why she never actually learned anything from me, despite my best efforts.

But here’s where it gets interesting.

The Tech Course doesn’t do that.

Can’t do that, actually, because it’s all videos.

The instructor (Xavier, the guy who taught his grandmother) can’t grab your device.

So he has to actually explain things slowly.

Multiple times if needed.

Without sighing.

The Scam That Almost Got Her (And How She Learned to Spot Them)

Two months ago, my mom got an email that looked exactly like it was from Apple.

Something about her account being locked.

The old her would have clicked immediately.

Panicked.

Maybe given away her information.

But The Tech Course had taught her the “Three Red Flag Rule” for spotting scams.

She knew exactly what to look for and deleted it without a second thought.

“I’m not afraid of the internet anymore,” she told me.

“I know what’s real and what’s not.”

“I Can See My Granddaughter’s Face!”

So my mom decides to try The Tech Course.

$79 felt like a lot, but she’d already spent way more on locked devices.

The first thing she noticed?

The videos were… slow.

Not boring slow.

Just… human slow.

Like someone was actually sitting next to her, not rushing to their next appointment.

Xavier would say things like:

“Now, this might take you a few tries, and that’s completely normal.”

“If you need to pause and replay this part, go ahead. I’ll wait.”

“Don’t worry if you don’t get it the first time. Or the fifth time.”

Within a week, she successfully FaceTime called my daughter.

By herself.

No help.

That’s when the happy tears happened.

Find out how my mom finally conquered FaceTime with The Tech Course.

What Margaret Knew That We Didn’t

Turns out, Margaret had been using The Tech Course for six months.

She wasn’t naturally “good at technology.”

She’d just found a better way to learn it.

Most tech education assumes you can see tiny buttons, remember complex sequences, and that your fingers work perfectly.

The Tech Course doesn’t.

It assumes you need reading glasses.

That you might have arthritis.

That you’ll forget things and need reminders.

It assumes you’re human and over 70.

The Monday Videos That Keep Her Current

Every Monday, The Tech Course releases a short video about Apple’s latest changes.

One update and suddenly buttons move, apps look different, everything’s confusing again.

These Monday videos prevent the panic.

“It’s like having a tech-savvy grandson who never gets impatient,” my mom says.

“Except he’s always available and actually explains things.”

Why 150,000 Seniors Have Quietly Joined

The Tech Course has been around since 2017.

Over 150,000 seniors have used it.

But you’ve probably never heard of it.

That’s because it spreads exactly how my mom found it.

One senior telling another.

Bridge clubs.

Coffee mornings.

Retirement communities.

No flashy advertising.

No celebrity endorsements.

Just Margaret telling my mom.

My mom telling her sister.

Her sister telling her book club.

Join the 150,000+ seniors who’ve already discovered this gentle approach.

The Real Cost of Not Knowing

Let me be honest about something.

Before my mom learned to FaceTime, I was getting worried.

My daughter took her first steps on a Tuesday.

Mom found out three days later through a text photo.

“I missed it,” she said. “I’m missing everything.”

Emma had started calling my husband’s mother “Grandma.”

My mom? She was becoming “the lady in photos.”

And it was breaking both their hearts.

The $79 for The Tech Course?

Compare that to:

• Flying to visit ($600 minimum)

• Locked devices ($500 each, and my mom had three)

• The emotional cost of missing your grandchildren grow up (priceless)

It’s not really about the money though.

It’s about my mom saying: “I can see my granddaughter’s face!”

The 30-Day Test (That Actually Matters)

The Tech Course has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Within 30 days, you’ll know if this is different from everything else you’ve tried.

You’ll either be FaceTiming your grandkids, or you’ll get your money back.

Simple as that.

My mom knew within a week.

That first successful FaceTime call?

Day 7.

Who This Is Really For (And Who It’s Not For)

This is for you if:

• You want to stop depending on others for basic technology tasks

• You’ve got grandkids you barely see

• Your family lives far away

• You’re ready to become the confident, modern senior who helps others

• You’re tired of feeling stupid about technology

This is NOT for you if:

• You want to become a tech expert

• You’re looking for advanced features

• You’re happy with the status quo

The Thing About Starting Today

The course is 87% off right now.

My mom waited six months after hearing about it the first time.

Her exact words: “I wish I’d started sooner.

I missed Emma’s first steps because I couldn’t figure out FaceTime.”

One Last Thing About Margaret

Remember Margaret from bridge club?

She’s 81. Started The Tech Course at 80.

Last month, she taught MY MOM how to use a new feature.

My mom, teaching someone else technology.

Never thought I’d see the day.

But that’s what happens when you finally find the right teacher.

Someone who understands that your fingers don’t move like they used to.

That your eyes need bigger text.

That you might need to hear something ten times before it sticks.

Someone who teaches technology for 70-year-olds, not teenagers.

The Choice You’re Making Right Now

You can keep doing what you’re doing.

Keep calling your kids for help.

Keep feeling frustrated.

Keep missing those precious moments with grandchildren.

Or you can try what Margaret tried.

What my mom tried.

What 150,000 other seniors have tried.

For less than the cost of one nice dinner out, you could finally crack the code on this technology thing.

Not become an expert.

Just become capable, confident and connected.

My mom’s exact words after her first successful FaceTime:

“I’m not stupid after all.”

No, Mom. You never were.

You just needed someone to teach you the right way.
