LEARN TO TYPE

Learning to type is simply the best skill anyone can have; ask anyone who can touch type and they will tell you that, along with driving, it is the most useful skill they have ever acquired. A Fluent touch typist can type up to 8 times faster than your average two fingered "hunt and peck" keyboard user. Not surprisingly, many children find the thought of doing work 8 times faster quite motivating! If you are ready to learn how to type, and to type effectively, we are available for private and group lessons, schools and businesses.

WHAT IS TOUCH TYPING?

 Touch typing is teaching the brain and the fingers to type by touch without looking at the keyboard. The hands are positioned on the keyboard in such a way as to optimise keystrokes with all ten fingers by moving only the fingers necessary to reach the keys. This technique allows for more accurate key strokes and typing speeds by incorporating muscle memory.

WHY TOUCH TYPING IS IMPORTANT!

Touch typing is an essential life skill for everyone today; computers are everywhere in both academic and professional life. Trying to use a keyboard without touch typing is like writing with a feather & pot of ink - painfully slow!

The QWERTY keyboard is going to remain the common "human-interface device" for typewriters, computers and keyboards of all kinds. It is called QWERTY because the top 6 letter keys on the keyboard are spelled out with  Q W E R T Y. Now you know. 

Touch typing has been designed to work with QWERTY keyboards to gain the most effective typing rates and accuracy with minimal hand movement and without looking at the keyboard.

Anyone can learn touch typing, from the young: aged 5 or 6 (based on their ability to read) to adults and seniors. Once you have developed the muscle memory, like riding a bike, you will never forget how. 

AND IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO LEARN!
