About Sohrab

Bio

I help people get comfortable and confident with their devices, especially those who didn't grow up with smartphones, tablets, or computers, or anyone who already knows the basics and wants to get more out of their tech. Whether you need help logging into your email, setting up your printer, organizing your photos, video-calling family, or learning your device from the ground up, we'll go at your pace and make it approachable instead of frustrating.

I help people get comfortable and confident with their devices, especially those who didn't grow up with smartphones, tablets, or computers, or anyone who already knows the basics and wants to get more out of their tech. Whether you need help logging into your email, setting up your printer, organizing your photos, video-calling family, or learning your device from the ground up, we'll go at your pace and make it approachable instead of frustrating.

I spent two years as a Genius Bar Specialist at Apple, and I hold a bachelor's in Communication Studies, a master's in Film and TV Producing, and an MBA in Marketing. As a working filmmaker and podcaster, I keep my skills current across computers, tablets, phones, action cameras (DJI, GoPro), and the software people use every day, including AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.

I can help both with learning how to use your devices and with troubleshooting problems when something isn't working, from confusing apps and settings to general "why is this doing that?" questions. My goal is to help you feel in control of your technology.

All my lessons are held remotely over video call, using tools like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or FaceTime. For simpler issues, I'm also happy to work through things over a regular phone call if that's easier for you.

Approved Subjects

Adobe Premiere

Adobe Premiere

I have been editing video in Adobe Premiere Pro for years across both Mac and Windows, giving me the flexibility to work with students regardless of what system they are on. My experience spans the full editing workflow from importing and organizing footage to color correction, audio mixing, transitions, titles, and final export for platforms like YouTube. I have applied these skills in real content creation including podcast production and original video projects, so I teach from actual practice rather than just software familiarity. Whether you are just getting started in Premiere or trying to level up a specific part of your workflow, I will meet you where you are and get you moving.
Film

Film

I hold an MFA in Film and TV Producing and have spent years studying cinema not just as an art form but as an industry, examining how business decisions shape the stories that get told and how they get told. I host a film review podcast with over 68 episodes where I analyze movies through the lens of craft, intention, and cultural impact. My background in marketing and brand strategy gives me a working understanding of how films are positioned, distributed, and received in the marketplace. Whether you are a student writing a film analysis essay, an aspiring filmmaker trying to understand the industry, or simply a passionate viewer who wants to watch more critically, I bring both the academic foundation and the real-world perspective to meet you where you are.
General Computer

General Computer

I bring 14+ years of professional experience across consumer technology and marketing, including time as a Genius Bar specialist at Apple retail stores. I'm well versed in Apple and Windows platforms as well as Android. I'm also an active content creator, producing video content and hosting a film and entertainment industry podcast that's run for 4 years with nearly 70 episodes, and AI tools have become genuinely central to how I work and create. That means I can teach anywhere from how to get up and running with AI, to (if you'd like) how to use it in your work and creative tasks at a more advanced level, the way I do. However much or little you need, I can meet you there. My focus is on making technology and AI approachable: explaining how these tools actually work, how to use them smartly and responsibly, and how to build genuine confidence and capability.
Macintosh

Macintosh

I have used Apple laptops as my primary computer for many years and work in macOS every day across personal, professional, and creative projects. My production work depends on Mac, including video editing in Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve, photo editing in Photoshop, and audio editing for the long-running film and television podcast I produce and host. Beyond creative software, I am highly fluent in macOS itself, including system settings, file management, iCloud and storage, Finder, security and privacy controls, troubleshooting, and the everyday third-party apps most Mac users rely on. I am also the person family and friends call when they need help with their Mac, which has given me years of patient, hands-on experience walking less technical users through everything from initial setup to advanced workflows.
Video Production

Video Production

I have been making videos for years across a full range of formats and equipment, including iPhone, action cameras, drones, and DSLRs, and I edit professionally in both DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro on Mac and Windows. I produce and host a podcast with over 68 episodes, which has given me deep hands-on experience with the full production pipeline from capture to final export and distribution, including publishing to YouTube. I stay current with AI-assisted tools that are changing how video creators work, and I can help students incorporate those tools into their own workflow from day one. Whether you are a complete beginner picking up your first camera or someone looking to level up their editing skills, I will meet you where you are and build toward what you want to create.
