Hi, I’m Sarah - a local Tasman resident who loves using technology and helping others grow their confidence with it. I have started Device Advice Tasman because I am the go-to person for friends and family who need help with their devices, and I can see there is a need for this service in our community.
I help seniors, adult beginners, and anyone who wants simple, friendly guidance. If you're learning something new, setting up a phone or iPad, or trying to stay safe online, I aim to explain things clearly and at your pace — minimising the jargon with no pressure.
My aim is to solve problems with patient, friendly support — to make everyday life easier.
Patient, friendly and local.
Great with seniors and beginners.
Clear explanations - minimal jargon.
Hands-on help in your home and at your pace.
Trustworthy - registered with Age Concern Nelson Tasman's Care & Repair Service.
