Such a fantastic life skill to learn and the ladies at QWERTY kids don't dissappoint, so helpful and also made both of my children feel like an individual. (One did the course are part of DOFE and was so good we booked for our older child so she too had this fantastic life skill)... both are now using their new skills for homework and for note taking in class! thank you ladies.

I can't recommend this course highly enough. Our 13 year old has always massively struggled with his written presentation and this course has provided a gateway into attainment that was previously blocked. The course leaders were quite simply phenomenal and I am a harsh critic!

My 14 year old son has just completed the 12 week online touch type course as part of the skills section of his Bronze DodfE award. The communication from Clare and Philippa was excellent and everything he needed was sent well in advance ready for him to start his first lesson. He was well directed during each session and always knew what he should be doing both during the lesson and for ‘homework’. His typing has improved greatly and he now has a valuable life skill and a completed section towards his DofE award. Highly recommend.

My 14 year old son had a wonderful experience learning to touch type with QWERTY kids. He gained a fantastic WPM score, and gained a valuable skill for his GCSEs and A level years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the course to any teenager to gain this essential skill to help them with their exam years.

QWERTYkids is great: professional, reliable and with a really accessible approach to learning to touch type - an increasingly important life skill. Clare and Philippa are really responsive to any queries and questions - key to remote learning I think. My 15 year-old son thoroughly enjoyed their Flexi course which he completed for his DofE, and his typing skills have improved enormously.

Two of my daughters (aged 11 and 14) have spent the last six Saturday mornings online with a few of their friends doing a QWERTYkids course and they have LOVED it! The teaching is so enthusiastic and both Clare and Philippa made it so much fun for the girls. It’s such a useful life skill to have at their age too - one of them used to type like a pigeon but now she’s like Woody Woodpecker! Highly recommend the course and thank you so much.

We use a hugely successful Touch Typing programme that is a mixture of Lessons, Games & Boosters so it’s not just a case of typing pages of boring characters!! Learning to Touch Type is all about practice…. the more you practice the faster you will learn!

All our courses come with:

Downloadable Typing Programme valid for a year
Colour Coded Keyboard and Finger Stickers to keep
Student’s Pack to keep

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. We have been pleasantly surprised by how much more progress many of our students make when they are completing an Online course with us. We are able to monitor their finger placement more closely on the Zoom camera, than walking round a class of 12 or more pupils. The coloured keyboard and finger stickers help us to see exactly where each child’s fingers are typing.

Students also enjoy learning in a comfortable and familiar environment, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus. The courses can be accessed by anyone regardless of location, making them available to a wider audience including those in remote or underserved areas.

Reviews from Kids, Teens & Parents

Fantastic course run very efficiently. All 3 of my children have done this now and it has given them a huge advantage. They can touch type and this has prepared them brilliantly for senior school and jobs beyond. Many thanks QWERTY.

Our 10-year-old absolutely loved this course. I was blown away to see the daily progress!! I wish I’d done a course like this when I was younger — great teaching from Clare and Philippa and a really engaging and fun course. Highly recommend!!

Really fantastic course which has improved my children's typing beyond all recognition. They are much quicker and more accurate and it has really helped with their course work for school.
