Free your fingers to fly over the keyboard!
Typing's Cool was set up by Sarah Holt and Cheryl Ladbroke-Chartres in 2010 and now runs after school clubs in six primary schools in Kingston upon Thames.
Typing's Cool teaches children, young people and adults how to touch type, using two software programmes specifically designed to support the national curriculum: Englishtype and Nessy Fingers.
Due to demand, we are currently advertising for new tutors. Email your cv to Sarah Holt for more information.
We use software programmes that are fun while supporting general literacy learning in line with the National Curriculum, improving reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Nessy Fingers explores the land of Ness and features nine fantastic games: in the Dungeon of Doom battle dragons, skeletons and ghosts. On Monkey Island play penalty shootout with Burt the boss gorilla. At Penguin Mountains crush Rocky under a giant snowball. Win bigger and better trophies, medals and awards in the Hall of Fame.
English Type consists of a combination of short, motivating lessons and fun arcade-style games to encourage painless progress. Individual key accuracy is displayed after each lesson and pupils can work towards bronze, silver or gold certificates for accuracy and speed.
