Techie to the Rescue

Computer Training, Computer Repair, Video Production,

About us

707-267-7778 remote computer training and troubleshooting over Zoom. I specialize in Apple devices, drawing on my 12+ years working for Apple. I can help with tips and tricks, and buying recommendations and solutions that are out of the box. Clients often come to me after they have exhausted other options. They are surprised that I am able to solve most of their problems rather quickly. If I don't know the answer off the top of my head I am not afraid to do the research necessary to find the best solution that is currently available. I tailor learning based on my students’ needs and provide a premium experience. I offer discounted packages when you buy lessons in bulk. I believe that anyone can learn Apple technology (Mac. iPhone, iPad, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie, Photos, Mail, and more) with the right teacher! I want to understand why you bought your device and focus on the needs you want to cover. Through the Zoom platform I am able to lead and guide you through the process of understanding your device. (If you don't already know how to use Zoom I will teach you what you need to know.) The screen sharing capabilities in Zoom may even allow me draw all over your screen depending upon what equipment you already have. (If you have not experienced this yet... it's an awesome experience!) I make it my business to ensure that you feel more comfortable with your device and are not afraid of it. Many people are afraid of breaking their devices if they click the wrong button. I will give you the confidence in understanding what you need to know to make using your technology more pleasant. I prefer to work with you remotely but for an extra fee, I can come to your home and work with you in person if you live locally. My prices reflect the high demand I am currently experiencing, along with my vast experience with Apple. I take amazing care of my students and look forward to helping them through their technological journey! AWARDS: Thumbtack Top Pro 2020

Services we offer

Techie In Person (available for Massachusetts and Rhode Island Only)--Meet me in person at my office or (depending on how far away you are) for an extra fee, I will go to your location. We can go over any technology that is in your residence. Techie to the Rescue cannot be held responsible for your data. It is your responsibility to have a backup system and to bring any resources that you have to our session. ******************************************************************************** Techie on the Phone--This support is all based upon you being able to generally describe what is going on with your tech and following directions as we work together to solve your issue. Best for those who already have an adequate understanding of how technology works. ******************************************************************************** Techie Over Zoom--Using the Zoom platform, I will teach you how to screen share your device. This will enable me to draw (depending on device) all over the screen. It's as if I am right there in the room with you! I've used this to help clients install software, (Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Google Chrome, etc,) better understand their technology, and help troubleshoot slow Apple computers. ******************************************************************************** Techie Edits My Video--Have an old home video you want to digitize? Do you already have a bunch of pictures and videos that you wish someone could edit for you? Do you want to break into YouTube but just need an editor? I will work with you to make your project shine. I have a fast machine (Ram: 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, 8 TB of storage, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB, 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9) with Final Cut Pro and experience in video editing. ******************************************************************************** Techie Talks to Customer Support--Are you sick of talking to customer service? I know most people are, but I actually enjoy speaking to them. I will work with you and the customer support agent to resolve your technology. ******************************************************************************** Adopt a Techie Grandson--Do you have elderly parents who just keep nagging you about their technology issues? You can only answer so many times how to send an email, print a picture, or do other fun tasks. If you have them call a tech support line they don't know how to help them. Hire me to work with them and free up your valuable time. Packages are available upon request.

Services we don't offer

Repairs outside of Massachusetts and Rhode Island ********************************************************************************IT Support for complex server networks ******************************************************************************** Knowing everything. Those who hire me know that I am not a robot; I don't know everything. What I do know is how to find answers. Think of me like a technology detective. ******************************************************************************** I only offer service when I know it is in the best interest of the customer. If the cost of parts is essentially the price of a new computer, I will make recommendations of what to buy instead of repairing the unit. ******************************************************************************** Repairs only take place at our facility. I will not open up any machine in your residence. This is to protect your device from Static Dynamic Electricity (example: rub foot on carpet while wearing socks, touch metal, get zapped). I do not want your machine to get damaged further by not being grounded while repair is taking place. This means that you may be without your device while it undergoes testing, waiting for parts to come in, and repair.

Techie to the Rescue is great. I was having a problem with syncing a new iPhone 13 to my laptop and couldn't figure out what to do. After making an appointment (which was very easy), we spoke the next day over Zoom and he walked me through the entire process. He explained the problem in understandable terms and was very easy to communicate with. If I have any future tech issues, I'm calling the Techie.

Techie to the rescue was a lifesaver! I had a time sensitive project for a major company that needed last minute editing. He was professional , efficient, knowledgeable, and the turnaround time was fast. I would recommend for any type of project personal or business.

I've sold audiovisual hardware for many years and in my job, I meet lots of trainers and tech support people. When I met Avrom I could tell he was different from the others. Meeting someone who can answer my technical question is one thing... meeting someone who instantly seems to know why I asked the question, what other questions I probably have, and how to quickly get me back to my task is something else. I highly recommend Avrom for any training or consulting that involves using computers to communicate.

Response from Techie to the Rescue
Thank you so much [Member Name Removed]. It is always a thrill to work on your projects. I love doing the research to investigate why and how things work. It is through that discovery process that I am able to think outside of the box and find unique solutions that others might not originally think of. I love technology and find it fun, engaging and exciting.
