For Vicki Soll, teaching her peers is emotionally and financially rewarding
Vicki Soll, 62, Palo Alto, CA When I retired from my career in technology, I wanted to do something rewarding with my free time. A friend told me about GetSetUp (GetSetUp.io), an online learning platform customized for older adults. The prospect of sharing my passion for technology with others in a meaningful way excited me, so I applied online to be a GetSetUp Guide.
“After two rounds of interviews, I was officially hired to teach basic tech skills virtually. I completed an online training program, then was ready to hit the ground running! Now, I teach 18 different classes on everything from Google Drive to Zoom basics. The classes range in size, but most are capped at 15 to 30 learners, which makes it more intimate. Classes are held in real time, so there’s great interaction.
“Training people on useful tech skills has been so rewarding, and this mission became even more important during the pandemic, when so much of our lives shifted online. All
‘‘ GetSetUp Guides are older adults, and our students appreciate that we are retired, patient and empathetic. “The freedom to choose my own schedule has been incredible, and I usually average about 15 hours a week. All Guides are paid a f lat rate of $25 per hour—about $1,500 a month for me—which goes toward fun extras, as well as my retirement fund. I love watching learners’ conf idence increase. It’s thrilling to see them courageously try until they succeed ! ”
