That's why we created a learning space built on patience, understanding, and tailored support. Our mission is to demystify technology and empower you to connect with loved ones, explore new hobbies, and navigate the online world safely and with confidence. There are no silly questions here, only opportunities to learn.
From understanding your smartphone to navigating online banking, we cover it all in a supportive environment where you feel comfortable asking anything.

What Our Students Say
Margaret T.
Richmond
"I was terrified of my new iPad, but the team at SilverGum was incredibly patient and supportive. I can now FaceTime my grandkids all by myself, share photos, and even follow my favourite cooking blogs! I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made."
Brian S.
Hawthorn
"The internet safety course was a real eye-opener. I used to worry constantly about online scams, but now I feel so much more secure browsing online and handling my emails. They taught us practical tips that I use every day. Highly recommended for everyone."
Claudia P.
Camberwell
"I needed help setting up my new printer and navigating online government services. My one-on-one sessions with David were a lifesaver. He explained everything clearly and didn't rush me at all. Now I feel much more independent."
Robert C.
Armadale
"The social media workshop taught me how to share photos with my gardening club and find new recipes. It was much simpler than I thought, thanks to Brenda's clear explanations. I'm no longer afraid to post!"
Patricia J.
Toorak
"I thought I was too old to learn, but SilverGum Learning proved me wrong. Their email course helped me finally set up an account and send messages to my grandkids overseas. It's truly liberating!"
