I couldn't believe when I started, I would be able to Touch Type over 36wpm!
The teaching was really enjoyable and I couldn't believe that when I started I would be able to touch type over 36 words per minute by the end of the course. I cannot say enough regarding how amazing the teaching was and how easy it was to get up and running.
My sister whom is 2 years younger than me (I am 14 years of age) will definitely be enrolling next year.
What age should you start Touch Typing lessons for children?
Children can start learning early keyboarding skills as young as 6 years old. However, it is important to note that kids this age have not developed motor coordination yet, so our typing lessons start from age 9.
Can Online Typing Lessons for children be as good as Face to Face?
Learning to Touch Type online can offer several advantages over traditional face-to-face classes, including flexibility, accessibility, and personalised learning experiences. During Lockdown, we were amazed by how much more progress many of our students made when completing our Online Course. We have now therefore, made this our preferred method of teaching.
We are able to monitor finger placement closely on the Zoom camera. The coloured keyboard and finger stickers help us to see exactly which keys the students are typing.
Students also enjoy learning in a comfortable and familiar environment, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus. They are also not distracted by having other pupils around them. Our Online courses can be accessed from home or abroad.
