Meet your instructor

    Elan Mauer.

    Elan has taught smartphone technology live to more than 2,000 adults, in classes that regularly filled with hundreds of students at a time.

    He started teaching because he kept meeting intelligent, capable people who had simply never been taught. They were handed a phone, left to guess, and made to feel slow when they asked a question. That is a teaching problem, not a personal one.

    Ageless Tech Academy exists to fix that: real education, taught live, at a pace that respects the person learning.

    Teaching philosophy

    What Elan believes about teaching technology.

    Understanding beats instructions

    Following steps once solves today. Understanding why something works means you can handle it again on your own.

    Patience is a teaching skill

    Nothing is too basic to ask. A question asked out loud usually helps half the room.

    Confidence is the real outcome

    The measure of a good class is not what happened during it. It is how you feel using your phone the next day.

    “The goal isn't for me to know how to use your phone. The goal is for you to know.”
