    After a short break, I’m returning to accessibility training services.

    I provide one-on-one training for blind and visually impaired users across multiple platforms. My teaching is practical and goal-driven: not just commands, but confidence, independence, and efficient workflows that carry into daily life, study, and work.

    I cover:
    iOS: VoiceOver gestures, rotor navigation, Braille displays, Safari, text editing, Mail and Calendars, Shortcuts, and making the most of iOS apps for productivity, communication, and entertainment.
    macOS: VoiceOver from basics to advanced, Trackpad Commander, Safari and Mail, iWork and Microsoft Office, file management, Terminal, audio tools, and system upkeep.
    Windows: NVDA and JAWS from beginner to advanced. Training includes Microsoft Office, Outlook, Teams, Zoom, web browsing, customizing screen readers, handling less accessible apps, and scripting basics.
    Android: TalkBack gestures, the built-in Braille keyboard and Braille display support, text editing, app accessibility, privacy and security settings, and everyday phone and tablet use.
    Linux: Orca and Speakup, console navigation, package management, distro setup, customizing desktops, and accessibility under Wayland.

    Concrete goals I can help you achieve:
    Set up a new phone, tablet, or computer
    Send and manage email independently
    Browse the web safely and efficiently
    Work with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
    Manage files and cloud storage
    Use social media accessibly
    Work with Braille displays and keyboards
    Install and configure accessible software across platforms
    Troubleshoot accessibility issues and build reliable workflows
    Make the most of AI in a useful, productive way
    Grow from beginner skills to advanced, efficient daily use

    I bring years of lived experience as a blind user of these systems. I teach not only what manuals say, but the real-world shortcuts, workarounds, and problem-solving skills that make technology practical and enjoyable.

    Remote training is available worldwide.

    Pricing: fair and flexible — contact me for a quote. Discounts available for multi-session packages and ongoing weekly training.

    US: 772-766-7331
    If these don’t work for you, email me at aaron.graham.hewitt@gmail.com

    If you, or someone you know, could benefit from personalized accessibility training, I’d be glad to help.

    #SelfHosting week 0, phase 1B: DNS records settings. Performed @_elena 's instructions on her "self hosting for newbies" part 2. Except for the post-install as I run it through terminal and not through web UI. For an ms-dos-born it's easier to perform a simple command such as "yunohost tools postinstall" rather than go to web, then type, then search for the various UI elements. Everything went smooth, except for letsencrypt at first. But in the end it seems to have worked. It got stuck because hostinger panel didn't get one suggested parameter, the numeric 3600, every record has a parameter which is 3, 4 or 5 numbers.Created the domain and subdomain to point it to yunohost admin interface, and then obstacle came.Opening browser to subdomain, just returns "connection timed out".Checked for nginx parameters through yunohost terminal, using the desired Sudo commands.Then, "sudo yunohost diagnosis run""sudo yunohost diagnosis show --issues --human-readable"and I got explanation on reverse dns which was wrong.After that, I searched on the web (and on AI, I admit) the position on hostinger panel to set them, and I found "set tpr record"placed the desired domain name.And now it's time to wait for propagation. But what about the "connected timeout", in the article posted in blog.elenarossini.com no such obstacle was mentioned.I'm back to my 20s when I spent the night (it's almost 4 in the morning), learning commands.Last but not least, accessibility issue: I'm using an app called WebSSH pro, downloaded on app store. Set it up, and VoiceOver for iOS does not read the keys I press on keyboard so I'm very slow to type commands there. Pc is better. In a few hours I'll try hostinger's terminal.UPDATE: I have just found I set one DNS wrong, now I'll wait for it to propagate. Next update in some hours. I placed a useless number. Such as 72.162 (wrong) instead of 72.62 (right). Like when you start developing on your own and everything crashes due to a missing semicolumn in a string of code. #accessibility #yunohost #selfhost #blind
