Patient, personalized smartphone help for seniors at home.
Silver Screen Tutor offers one-on-one smartphone coaching sessions for seniors, conducted entirely via video call. Each session is customized to the senior's device (iPhone or Android) and skill level, covering basics like calling, texting, photos, and apps. The service is marketed through senior centers, social media, and word-of-mouth. Sessions are booked online and delivered via Zoom, with no software required. A subscription model provides monthly check-ins and priority email support. The business requires no inventory, just a computer and internet connection. Revenue starts after a free introductory session, converting clients into paid packages.
With 70% of seniors now owning smartphones but many lacking skills, digital inclusion is a top trend. The pandemic accelerated reliance on digital communication, creating urgent demand for patient, personalized tutoring.
