Nowadays, being a nerd has a different meaning than it did years ago! At Neighborhood Nerds, we see it as an endearing term. So, what makes someone a nerd?

It’s true, everyone needs a Nerd in their life! This includes small business owners. The Neighborhood Nerds were never intended to replace real IT companies who serve business clients for enterprise-level support. However, these smart young college kids are power users of technology! They are great at troubleshooting and problem-solving. Over the years, we have been able to help with small business technology needs. From coming up with out-of-the-box solutions to troubleshooting various pieces of technology. Our Nerds have always been able to help our members out in any way they could.  (more…)

It might be surprising to some, but about 12 percent of our Members are senior women living alone that are either widowed, divorced, or have always been single. Our Nerds play a big part in their lives. Not only do we help with technology, but on one occasion we even saved a life!  (more…)

Howdy Neighbors, it’s Gizmo here, and I want to tell you about how helpful the Neighborhood Nerds are. When people think of the Neighborhood Nerds, they think of tech support. And, while it’s true we provide outstanding technical support to a large membership, what people don’t know is we do so much more than that. Over the last seven years, our team has helped members locate their lost pets on at least six different occasions. That’s right! When our members were in a time of need, the Nerds were able to help them. That’s what it’s all about! Helping others when they need us the most. (more…)

Howdy Neighbors! Welcome back to the blog!

We have so much to catch up on, and we would love to hear from you about how your Summer was!

As you may have seen, our Sequoyah Hills Member Center is being remodeled. That doesn’t mean your Nerds aren’t working! We Are! Call or email us with whatever you may need and we will get it done. We are doing everything we can to be the best Nerds we can be for our Members. We are still here for you and we aren’t going anywhere!

Now, let’s talk about some fun Back to School tools that you can use to help your kids or grandkids stay on track this semester!

If your child is struggling with certain subjects and seems to be falling behind, it may be time to consider hiring a tutor. You may have heard of Care.com, and how you can find a babysitter using their app and website. Well, did you know that they also offer a tutoring service? You can log on and list your child’s needs, and Care.com will find a tutor that is a perfect fit! Living in a town like Knoxville means that you can find well educated and well rounded tutors to help your kids succeed in their academic life. You also set your own rates and tutoring time, so it is more cost efficient AND convenient than a tutoring service like Sylvan. (Sylvan is another effective service however, and matches your child up with a professional for more rigorous tutoring!) If your child seems to be falling behind, be sure to catch it early and get some help! It will definitely pay off in the long run.
