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.

I am immensely grateful for the incredible course experience. The tutor consistently provided timely and uplifting feedback every week , which proved to be extremely beneficial. This course has far exceeded my initial expectations.

Type IT was an exceptionally practical course that has positively impacted both my personal and professional life. I have acquired a vast array of keyboard skills and can now confidently touch type. I take great pride in this achievement. With this newfound ability, I can now focus on enhancing my typing speed.
It has inspired me to join ‘Carry on Typing’ course.
Thank you

Great Typing course

I am very grateful for such a great opportunity to study at your Typing course. It was an important experience for me. I really enjoyed working on your platform, so I will continue to do tasks there. The lessons were filled with an informative and friendly atmosphere. The teacher explained the material very well. She was always ready to help. The curator helped me join the lessons and told me all information about the course. Thank you a lot again!

This course is worth every penny

This course is worth every penny! I am a Executive Assistant and had never learned how to properly touch type, it was slowing me down and holding me back at work so I decided to do this course as it’s a necessary skill in todays fast-pace work environment. This course is not just for kids, for any adults who want to learn how to touch type properly, I can fully recommend it! Ellie is an excellent tutor who provided really helpful feedback along the way and gave me extra time to complete lessons as sometimes life just gets very busy! The software is fun and easy to navigate and you can take the lessons at your own pace. Thoroughly enjoyable and has given me the skills to touch type, once you have these skills you can then work on improving your speed, wish I had known about this course years ago!

A great experience. Highly recommend!

My son has just completed a 12 week type it programme for his silver DofE. It has really helped his his typing skills. The weekly emails from his Type it coach were really motivational and she was really flexible when he had a school camp or exam week. I would really recommend it to other families and it was well paced and easy to navigate.

My son completed the 12 week course for silver DofE

My son completed the 12 week course for his silver DofE skills section. The course was very well organised and his tutor, Amisha, sent weekly personalised feedback on the areas for improvement and lots of positive encouragement. Through regular type tests, my son saw his improvement in both accuracy and speed as the weeks progressed, which was motivating. My son has learnt a valuable life skill.

A brilliant course that my son enjoyed immensely. Wendy is the best and most patient teacher ever. I never write reviews but had to for this course as I can not recommend it highly enough. My son worked diligently and was always given positive encouragement and Wendy’s endless patience. They were very amenable with timings too. Thank you Wendy!

Fantastic company to learn touch typing skills through!

My daughter enrolled as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Bronze. Communication was clear and the booking process was seamless. I was so impressed at the excellent guidance and work that was provided and particularly the weekly feedback from Ellie she received. She learnt how to touch type within the course timeframe and is now continuing to use this skill that she has learnt - would most definately recommend this course to anyone thinking of learning to touch type!
