This Editorial Policy explains how Free Tech Tutor researches, writes, tests, and maintains its guides. Our goal is simple: publish tech help that ordinary people can follow and trust, every time.
Our Mission
Free Tech Tutor exists to make everyday technology less intimidating. We turn confusing error messages, buried settings, and vague “it’s not working” moments into clear, step-by-step instructions anyone can complete. We focus on practical outcomes: getting a feature turned on, a problem fixed, or a tool set up correctly, without jargon and without assuming you already know the answer.
How We Create Content
Our topics are problem-first. Before writing a guide, we look for real questions people are actually asking and search demand that shows the problem is common, not hypothetical. If a question is being typed into search engines by real users, it deserves a real answer.
Every guide is written for beginners first. We assume no prior technical background, define terms when they first appear, and explain not just which button to click but why. Where it helps, we describe what you should expect to see on screen so you can confirm you are in the right place.
Accuracy & Testing
We verify steps against the current behavior of the platforms we cover, including Windows, Android, and iOS. Menus, labels, and toggles change between releases, so we check that the path we describe still matches what you will actually find.
Wherever possible we prefer version-agnostic instructions, focusing on the setting or feature itself rather than wording that only applies to one build. This keeps guides useful even as interfaces shift over time.
We never fabricate settings, file paths, prices, or sources. If a menu option exists, we have confirmed it exists. We reference only real, legitimate tools, and we name them plainly, such as Windows Security, HWMonitor, and Malwarebytes. If we are unsure whether something is accurate, we test it or we leave it out.
Freshness & Updates
Technology does not stand still, and neither do our guides. We review published articles on a regular basis and update them when operating systems change, steps stop working, or better methods become available. When a guide has been revised, we show a clear “Last updated” date so you know how current the information is before you rely on it.
Corrections Policy
We get things right as often as we can, but no publication is perfect. If you spot an error, an outdated step, or something that no longer matches your screen, please tell us. You can leave a comment on the relevant guide or email us at contact@freetechtutor.com.
When a reader reports an issue, we re-test the affected steps, correct the content, and update the “Last updated” date to reflect the change. Where a correction materially changes the advice we gave, we make that clear within the guide so returning readers are not misled.
Advertising & Independence
Free Tech Tutor may display advertising and may include affiliate links, which means we can earn a commission if you purchase through certain links, at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep our guides free to read.
Advertising never decides what we recommend. Our suggestions are based on what actually works and what we would use ourselves, not on who pays us. An advertiser cannot buy a positive recommendation, and the presence or absence of a commission does not change our editorial judgment. Where a relationship could reasonably affect how you read a recommendation, we disclose it.
Author & Review
Content on Free Tech Tutor is produced and reviewed by the Free Tech Tutor editorial team, drawing on hands-on troubleshooting experience across Windows, Android, and iOS devices. We write from real testing rather than guesswork. In the interest of honesty, we do not attach fabricated author names or invented credentials to our work; guides are the product of practical, tested experience by the people who run this site.
If you have a question, a correction, or feedback about how we work, we would genuinely like to hear from you at contact@freetechtutor.com.
