One-on-One Coaching & Small Group Lessons
We believe the best learning happens when there's no pressure. That's why our sessions are built around you—your pace, your questions, your goals.
Personal One-on-One Coaching
Individual attention means we go exactly at your speed. Perfect for seniors who feel anxious about technology or have specific goals like learning WhatsApp or Singpass.
Small Group Classes (4–6 Seniors)
Learn alongside peers in a friendly, supportive environment. Small groups mean everyone gets help when they need it—no one is left behind.
Hands-On, Practice-First Approach
We don't do long lectures. Every session is built around doing—pressing buttons, trying features, making mistakes, and learning by repetition until it sticks.
Refresher Courses After a New Device
Just bought a new smartphone? We offer short refresher sessions to help you transfer data, learn the new interface, and get back up to speed quickly.
Why Seniors in Singapore Choose Us
Real stories from older learners who've built confidence, connected with family, and gained independence through our courses.
“I used to be so scared of pressing the wrong button. After just two sessions, I can WhatsApp my daughter in Perth and even join the family group chat. The coach was so patient—never made me feel silly for asking the same question twice.”
Mdm Tanjaya Ist, 68, retired teacher
“My son bought me an iPhone but I didn't know how to use half the features. Now I check my CPF on Singpass, pay hawker stall with PayNow, and video-call my grandchildren every Sunday. My son says I've become a tech expert!”
Mr. Harjeet Soong, 72, retired engineer
“I needed to learn email for volunteering with my community club. The small group class was perfect—we all encouraged each other, and the trainer checked on each of us one by one. I can now send attachments and reply to emails without panicking.”
Mdm Venice Padamu, 65, community volunteer
“After retiring, I felt a bit left behind. Learning to use Facebook and WhatsApp brought me back in touch with old army friends I hadn't spoken to in 15 years. The course gave me a whole new social life.”
Mr. Wilbert Gurdaspur, 70, retired logistics manager

About Fong & Farid Learn Digital
We're a Singapore-based technology education provider dedicated to one mission: helping older adults build the digital skills they need for everyday life. Located at Wholesale Centre, we've been working with seniors across the island who want to stay independent, connected, and safe in an increasingly digital world.
Our teaching philosophy is simple—no jargon, no rushing, and absolutely no assumption that you should already know something. We start from where you are, whether that's never having touched a smartphone or just needing a refresher after upgrading your device.
What drives us is seeing that moment when a senior sends their first WhatsApp message, makes their first video call to family overseas, or checks their CPF balance on Singpass without asking for help. That independence changes lives.
