Tech Coaches are people who will work one-on-one with you to help you become comfortable with what ever technology comes your way. While they have the ability to do just about everything that a Virtual Assistant can do, they prefer to teach you how to use technology in a sustainable way so that you won't need the ongoing services of someone who is technology savvy.
