Hello, Chicago! I’m looking for a patient, funny, and judgment-free social media tutor who can teach the basics of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn… in person. If you can explain things without sighing, rolling your eyes, or muttering “omg” under your breath, we’re already off to a great start. This is for someone who absolutely will have questions — sometimes very basic questions — and needs someone who won’t make them feel ridiculous for asking. Think: “What do I click?” “Where did it go?” “Why is it doing that?” You get the idea. What You’ll Be Teaching Please be comfortable demonstrating and guiding hands-on use of: Facebook: posting, photos, events, the basics Instagram: posts, Stories, Reels, saving content TikTok: how to film, edit simply, post, and navigate X (Twitter): posting, replying, understanding the feed LinkedIn: profile tune-ups, posting updates, simple networking Bonus points if you can explain all this without sounding like a Silicon Valley robot. About the Lessons In-person sessions in downtown Chicago One-on-one tutoring at a slow, steady, “yes, we can repeat that” pace You must be okay with repeating steps and not assuming anything Sessions could be weekly or biweekly depending on availability Must be cool with laughter, confusion, and occasional “Wait… say that again?” Who You Are Patient. Very patient. Like, saint-level patient. Experienced teaching people who aren’t tech-savvy Friendly, positive, and able to explain things simply Chicago-based and available for in-person meetings Understands the major platforms and can break them down in plain English You enjoy helping someone finally “get it” without pressure or stress Who You Definitely Are NOT Someone who teaches at 500 mph Someone who says, “It’s easy, just do this!” (It’s not easy yet.)
