Unlock the full potential of your device and stay safe online
Master Your iPhone or Android Phone
and Stay Safe Online
Master Your Smartphone teaches smartphone skills to seniors through short, clear video lessons they can watch at their own pace — and actually remember.
The #1 question before buying: Can my parent actually use this? Here's what happens from the moment you click Enroll.
One payment of $29.95. Your parent has lifetime access. No subscriptions, no renewal fees, nothing to cancel.
Set it up yourself in two minutes, or walk your parent through it. Works on any smartphone, tablet, or computer — no app required.
All short lessons organized by topic. They can pause, rewind, and rewatch any lesson as many times as they need. No pressure, no deadlines.
The course starts at absolute zero — how to find apps, how to text, how to read large — and builds up to safety, video calls, and everyday tasks.
Mark hosts monthly live Q&A sessions. Your parent can ask questions directly. Included free with every enrollment as a bonus.
Questions? Email Mark directly. He typically responds within 24 hours. You're not on your own after the purchase.
From the very first tap to staying safe from scammers — covered, step by step.
Start with the basics and build up to the features your parent uses most — texting, video calls, photos, and beyond.
Learn to spot scams, handle suspicious messages, and stay safe online. Become a harder target for cybercriminals.
All lessons explained by video. Each is designed to be remembered, not just watched. Pause and replay as many times as needed.
Visual walkthroughs your parent can consult to augment the instructional videos — no memorizing, no pressure.
Lessons built around the real apps seniors use every day — Messages, Facebook, MyChart, Uber and more.
No time restrictions. New lessons and updates are added at no charge. Your parent's skills grow as the phone evolves.
This is a real lesson from the course — not a promo. Watch how Mark explains a phone feature in plain language, step by step, with no assumed knowledge.
"I always thought I was just too old to understand these things." Many students feel the same way before they start — and then learn everything they were missing.
I'm a teacher and designer who spent 15 years making technology easier to understand for real people — not just engineers. I hold a Master's Degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech, which means I've studied exactly how people learn to use technology, and what gets in the way.
Before building this course, I designed products used by over a million people at companies like Delta Air Lines, AT&T, and NCR. I also spent years teaching smartphone skills to seniors across Atlanta — and I noticed the same thing happen every time: once someone realizes they can actually do this, something shifts. They sit up straighter. They pull out their phone themselves.
That's why this course was created.
The course is organized so your parent builds skills progressively — no chapter assumes prior knowledge, and every lesson builds on the last.

These are the adult children who bought it, and the parents who used it.
"I bought this for my 83-year-old mother who was afraid to even answer her phone. After two weeks she was sending me videos and calling my daughter on FaceTime. I honestly haven't cried over a purchase before."
"The Master your Android class was very clear. The instructions were definite and navigating among the chapters was easy and obvious.
The Stay Safe course had lots of new information for me. I will be more alert regarding email addresses. The “reply yes and close this text” was an important red flag. A very useful and important course. "
"Mark's class has great information for beginners as well as for individuals with some experience. When you're not a 'digital native' you learn technology bit by bit as you need it. This class fills in the blanks you missed and brings you up-to-date about how to avoid the latest scams.."
