About Type IT! Touch Typing

Written by the company

We are the UK’s leading provider of tutor-supported online touch typing lessons for children and adults.

Tutor-supported online touch typing programme for children and adults

What makes us different is our personal approach. Every learner follows a carefully structured programme, but no two journeys are the same. Our experienced, friendly tutors tailor each course to the individual, providing clear guidance, encouragement and weekly written feedback from start to finish.

This level of support is why so many families, schools and professionals trust us, particularly when supporting learners with dyslexia, dyspraxia or low confidence around typing.

Child learning touch typing online with correct hand positioning

Rather than rushing for speed, we focus on building strong foundations. Accuracy, technique and confidence come first, and speed follows naturally. Our tutors motivate students week by week, helping them understand their progress and feel supported at every stage.

Parent testimonial highlighting dyslexia-friendly touch typing support

The results speak for themselves. 98% of our students complete their course with accuracy above 95% and typing speeds of 30 words per minute or more. More importantly, they gain a practical life skill that reduces frustration and saves time.

Whether for schoolwork, exams, university or the workplace, confident touch typing allows our students to work faster, think more clearly and perform at their best.

Our promise to you

Written by the company

Calm, supportive typing tuition you can trust
Your child won’t be left to guess or rush. Every student is supported by an experienced, friendly tutor who guides them step by step and provides weekly written feedback. This means you can see how your child is progressing, what they’re working on and where they need a little more practice. We focus on accuracy, confidence and good technique first, rather than pushing speed too early. This helps children feel more in control and reduces frustration, especially when typing is needed for schoolwork and exams. Our approach is particularly supportive for children with dyslexia, dyspraxia or low confidence around typing, but it works just as well for any child who needs clear structure and encouragement. 💡 98% of our students finish with over 95% accuracy.

Fantastic Team and skill to learn for life!

The team at Type IT! Touch typing were fantastic. Sharon was my son's tutor and she was clear each week as to what he needed to do to progress his lessons and always gave positive and productive feedback. My son is now typing with 96% accuracy and 43 words per minute.....without looking. Amazing. Thank you Type IT! team, an excellent skill learnt for his D of E Silver award.

An outstanding experience!

An outstanding experience!
We enrolled our son in the Touchtype It program as part of his Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent.
The course is well-structured, engaging, and easy to follow, even for beginners. It gave our son a real boost in confidence and typing skills, helping him develop a valuable ability that he’ll use for life. What truly stood out was the positive learning environment: supportive, encouraging and genuinely enjoyable.

A special mention goes to the teacher, who was incredibly patient, kind, and always available to offer guidance and motivation. Their thoughtful support made a huge difference in keeping our son motivated and on track.

We highly recommend Touchtype It to anyone looking to learn keyboard skills in a positive, student-centered way. A fantastic resource and a wonderful experience overall!

Great achievement for a 12 year old child! :)

My daughter is 12 and she took the carry on course for 3 months. Her tutor, Amisha, has been very patience and understanding, extending the course for another month. Her feedbacks were very encouraging and surprisingly (consider my daughter haven't tried her best), in her last test she has achieved 45wpm with 97% accuracy! I am so proud of her and I like to thank TouchtypeIT! for this amazing course! We will definitely return in the upcoming months for additional sessions. :)

Touch typing for my teen.

The small group size made it very interactive and tailored so my son could progress at his own pace. The tutor was very friendly and made the course content and learning interesting.

A positive refresher experience

My son needed some refresher lessons in order to be able to use a laptop in school. He made excellent progress in his lessons with Wendy, and very quickly re- discovered both his typing skills and a passion for touch typing that will help him so much at school. He benefitted from a great relationship with Wendy, and I really appreciated the progress reports that I received after every lesson. I would highly recommend lessons with Type IT!

Great way to complete DofE skill section

My 13 year old completed the 13 week course as part of his Bronze DofE award. It was well structured & easy to follow. Feedback was weekly & the assessors report was uploaded to the DofE portal upon completion. A great new skill learnt & module ticked off.
