Typing’s Cool aims to teach children and young people, aged 8 – 16, how to touch type 25 – 40 words per minute with 95% accuracy. By using all ten fingers and thumbs, rather than pecking at a keyboard with two fingers, pupils can learn to type four to five times faster.
Beginners, improvers and advanced touch typists will be given personalised coaching and support.
We use a range of educational programmes especially designed by experts, matching our approach to your child’s preferred learning style. Physical exercises are introduced to further improve touch typing ability. Typing’s Cool also promotes spelling, writing and presentation skills.
For pupils the fun is in dodging asteroids, zapping aliens, “type” rope walking and other app type challenges.
