A DIY Tech Academy

The all-in-one Digital Learning Hub where anyone can gain practical computer skills, master everyday tech tasks and stay safe in the digital world
🌟 At TechITurself, we believe your computer should make life easier — not leave you stuck, stressed, or searching endlessly for answers. And if you’ve ever dealt with a slow PC, lost files, strange pop-ups, or a system that decides to update itself at the worst possible moment, you already know how frustrating technology can be.
But here’s something most people don’t realize:
You’re capable of fixing far more than you think.
All you need is someone to break things down clearly — in everyday language — and show you what to do step-by-step.
Over the years, we kept meeting people who felt powerless when something went wrong with their computer. Home users who felt embarrassed asking for help. Parents and seniors who worried about clicking the wrong thing. Small business owners who couldn’t afford constant tech bills. Remote workers whose entire day derailed because of one preventable issue.
What they all had in common wasn’t a lack of intelligence — it was a lack of guidance.
A lack of someone who would say: “Here’s what’s happening. Here’s why. And here’s how to fix it — easily.”
So we set out to create a place where anyone, regardless of experience, could learn to handle everyday tech problems with confidence. No jargon. No overwhelm. No long-winded tutorials that assume you already know the lingo.


Simple step-by-step guides that walk you through fixes
Printable cheat sheets you can keep nearby for quick reference
Troubleshooting checklists that help you diagnose problems fast
Easy maintenance routines to extend the life of your computer
Workshops where you can learn alongside others
One-on-one coaching for deeper help and skill-building
Our mission is to help you feel in control of your digital world — whether you use a computer at home, rely on it for work, or run a business that can’t afford downtime. No more waiting around for someone else to fix things. No more guessing. No more feeling intimidated by technology.
With the right guidance, you’ll discover that most tech problems are easier than they look — and that you’re more capable than you’ve been led to believe.

As the current founder of TechITurself and a technology specialist with over 27 years of hands-on experience helping everyday users and small businesses keep their computers fast, secure, and frustration-free.
TechITurself was born from a simple truth I discovered working with hundreds of clients: people are capable of fixing more than they think — they just need clear guidance in plain English.
Over the years, I saw many clients who wanted to learn the basics, handle simple issues themselves, or at least understand the words to describe their problem. What held them back wasn’t ability — it was the lack of someone who could explain things without jargon or overwhelm.
So I created TechITurself as a DIY Tech Academy where anyone can learn foundational tech skills, communicate clearly about issues, and feel confident handling everyday problems on their own — while still having expert support available when the tougher challenges arise.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or unsure where to start with your computer, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you build the confidence and know-how to take control of your tech, one simple step at a time.

A: Not at all! TechITurself is built for everyday people — you don’t need prior IT knowledge. Our guides are written in plain English, with step-by-step instructions. Many fixes can be done in under 15 minutes.
A: No. Our free PC Health Checklist is a great starting point to help you evaluate your computer’s current state. From there you can choose to use our DIY guides, join a workshop, or get personal coaching — whichever fits your needs and budget.
A: That’s why we offer different levels of support. If the DIY route feels too complicated, you can join a live workshop or book one-on-one coaching. And for larger problems, members have access to discounted professional tech support.
A: Unlike traditional tech support, we don’t aim to “do it for you” — we aim to “teach you how.” Our goal is to help you understand your own computer. Over time you’ll build skills and confidence, so you don’t have to rely on someone else every time something goes wrong.
A: Yes. TechITurself isn’t just for home users — many of our clients are freelancers, creators, remote workers, or small business owners who depend on their computer. Our guides and coaching cover issues like data protection, stable performance under workload, remote-work workflows, and more.
A: That depends on what you try. Some quick-fix guides can make noticeable improvements in as little as 10–15 minutes. If you commit to learning and applying the practices (e.g., regular maintenance, good digital hygiene), you can expect a smoother, more reliable PC and fewer tech headaches over weeks to months.
A: Yes. We aim to keep our content up to date with modern operating systems, software versions, and current security best practices — so you’re never working with outdated information.
