Full day holiday scheme/ child care available on site. Contact us for more information
Courses usually run Monday – Thursday; 10:00 – 12:15pm
(Apart from one in March/April which runs Tuesday – Friday due to the bank holiday and one in December 2027 which runs Thursday – Friday 10:00am – 03:00pm. See dates below.)
Join us at St Joseph’s Primary School, Kingston upon Thames, Twickenham Prep School or Dulwich College, London in person, or via a live Zoom link up.
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.
Cost & Discounts
The cost for each course is £176. If you book 2 or more places, a discount of 10% is given for each student. Returning students also receive a 10% discount. Discounted cost is £158.00 per place.
