Building Spells

Build your first website. Or your first computer. With someone there to help.

Practical one-to-one sessions for beginners who want to make something they understand. Choose a manageable project, work through it with Tyler and practise making the next change yourself.

Initial learning enquiries: adults aged 18 and over.

Discuss a learning project

Start with something you want to make

You do not need to arrive with a complete plan. A small personal website, a hobby project or a first computer can give the sessions a clear purpose. We’ll discuss your starting point, the project and a suitable format before agreeing any paid sessions.

My first website

Plan a small site, build its main pages, test it and work through publishing. The aim is to understand how the pieces fit together, make a change yourself and learn a straightforward approach to fixing a problem.

AI can help where it is useful, but a generated result is only the start. You will be encouraged to explain, edit and test what you make.

Domain registration, hosting and paid software are discussed separately. A first project does not need payments, a complex shop or private customer data to be worthwhile.

My first computer

Understand the main components, plan a suitable parts list and work through assembly and setup with help. Learn how to check the finished machine, manage basic updates and approach simple fault-finding.

We’ll agree who supplies the components, the total hardware budget and what happens if a part is incompatible or faulty before assembly begins. Hardware is separate from the teaching time.

For parents funding an adult learner

You can pay for sessions while the learner chooses the project. The first discussion should establish what they want to make, the time and costs involved, and what would count as useful progress.

For adult learners, any progress information shared with the payer is agreed with the learner. The aim is supported independence and a project they can understand, not a result completed entirely for them.

What we agree before starting

A clear first step

Tell Tyler what you or the learner would like to build. This is an enquiry, not a course booking. Session availability and the project plan will be discussed before payment.

The initial offer is for adults aged 18 and over. Under-18 sessions are not part of this initial offer.
