You already know the basics which is all this boot camp is. If you actually want some hand to hand training or whatever we can just cover it on our own time

If you really want to get involved I'd rather have you teaching
Why not? I'm giving it seventy two hours before you're the most tech savvy recruit on the Neheda. If anyone should be teaching cadets how to work the equipment, it should be you

You help teach them to work the tech, I'll train you in hand to hand
[Not that she really needs to offer a trade - she'd do it anyway and she hopes Tali knows as much.]
[She sends the text, thinking that they haven't even seen each other in two years, how does Shepard even know anymore?... But then she thinks about it. Shepard was dead that whole time, it was hardly two years for her - and besides, with all the time issues Garrus has been telling her about? Shepard might have seen her a day ago. Tali isn't even caught up on her own life anymore.
And in any case - Shepard's not wrong.]

Sounds like a good trade, though. You've got a deal.
[Even if Tali wasn't as talented with tech as she is, she's talking the absolute fundamentals here. Showing a couple of out of time children how to point and click on a blackglass wasn't exactly demanding work.
Not that Tali wouldn't be capable of more.]

I'll forward you some relevant data and we'll set up a time for me to throw you around

Tali you're pretty capable in the field. I wouldn't have you on my team if you weren't
no subject
OK yes, but I could always use more practise, right? Anyway, I'm not going to ask you for shotgun lessons, or tech lessons or anything like that.

Could we do that sometime?

You want me to teach? Really?
[That's kind of left her nonplussed. She... did not see that coming at all.]

That's a lot of faith to have in me, Shepard.

Most of them are kids, Tali. How hard can it be?

OK, you have a point.
[She's still not totally confident in her ability to teach people anything, though. But... there's only one way to find out and all.]

Sounds good. Well... You throwing me around doesn't sound GOOD, but you know what I mean.
