At first, you might wonder who might require tuition with regard to 'how to use the Internet'. After all, here you are, reading this page, using the Internet! The obvious response would be to repeat all the aspects covered in the section on Internet Security. Certainly, our Internet Tuition includes many important points in terms of security and privacy. But there are also the questions of efficiency and usability:

• connection issues: single or multiple dial-up, connection sharing, auto or manual
• web form password and private data management
• the organisation of files and favourite links
• the multitude of options available in any given browser program
• how to search for things more effectively
• how to download files of various formats (and find them again!)
• the alternatives to Internet Explorer, and their pros and cons
• email management, integration with other programs, and use of attachments
• the safe and efficient use of instant messenger programs (ICQ, MSN, etc.) and recommended precautions
• the installation and configuration of different types of browser plugins
• the importance and management of the browser 'history' and 'cache'
• things to watch out for when shopping or banking online
• conventions, etiquette and security in chat-rooms and forums
• parental controls and the monitoring of web use in your home
• ...and the list goes on...

Of course, the best way to learn anything is just to get on and do it. But as mentioned in the Tuition Introduction, some have a more natural aptitude than others for learning this way. Why spend months slowly engaging in trial-and-error, whilst putting your private data and computer integrity at risk? If things are not happening fast enough for you, or you're getting frustrated with what the Internet presents on the screen - when it's not what you wanted at all - perhaps personal tuition is for you. TechScope Internet Tuition is therefore aimed at the inexperieced user, allowing you to focus on what you want from it, minimise the chaos that can happen now and then, and also deal with it effectively when it does show signs of 'misbehaviour'.

With TechScope, pretty soon you'll be surfing the web like a veteran, and your friends and neighbours will be asking you things about it simply because you've gained the experience, learned the expertise and fully understood the broader issues. Welcome to the 21st Century!
