Technology Should Make Life Easier, Not More Frustrating
Your iPhone or iPad can help you stay connected, find your way around, manage everyday tasks, capture memories, and access the things that matter to you. But when you're unsure how to use it, even simple tasks can feel frustrating.
At DeviceWISE Academy, we believe confidence with technology starts with having someone patient to show you what to do. Our in-person classes provide slower-paced, step-by-step instruction with plenty of practice and repetition, so you can learn at your own pace and feel confident using your device on your own.
Because the goal isn't just to learn how to use your iPhone. It's to help you use technology with confidence, feel more connected, capable, and independent.

In-Person/Online Classes
Learn alongside a small group in a supportive environment with plenty of time to ask questions, practice, and repeat each step.
Hands-On Learning
Bring your own iPhone or iPad and learn by doing. We focus on practical skills you can use in your everyday life.
Step-by-Step Guidance
No rushing and no expectation that you already know how everything works. We take each lesson step by step so no one gets left behind.

"As part of Phone 101 class we learned to use ApplePay. One day on my usual walk I forgot my wallet, it was so easy to stop by 7/11 and pay with my phone. I’m so grateful to have learned this and more. I keep attending the drop in classes too, Nora is a great and patient teacher."
Julia Z.
"Learning how to share my location with my friends when traveling has made my life so much easier! I learned this in the iPhone 101 class, and have taken every class Nora has taught about the iphone since. I’m not afraid to try new things with my phone and like using it now, instead of being frustrated by it."
Mary M.
"Before taking the iPhone class I only used my phone to make calls. I had this powerful thing and was afraid to use it. I feel so much more confident in downloading apps, sending messages, and taking pictures. There should be more classes like this for seniors!"
Meet Nora
Nora Velasquez is a professional educator with a master’s degree in instructional design and a passion for helping people feel more comfortable with technology.

Her classes are designed specifically for older adults, with small groups, hands-on learning, repetition, and plenty of time for questions. Rather than simply showing you what to do, Nora helps you understand your iPhone or iPad so you can feel confident using it on your own.
