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.

The TypeIT

The TypeIT! Touch Typing course was an excellent programme for my 9-year-old child. It has given her a great start to touch-typing in a supportive and positive environment. Many thanks.

Supportively dedicated to turning a reluctant teen into a touch typist!

Supportive, personal touch, dedicated to getting the job done - I have really appreciated the team's commitment to getting my 13yo son to competence with touch typing. It works great to do it remotely. Originally I bought the self-directed course but it became clear my son needed some additional input and so he had a sequence of 1-1 virtual lessons with Wendy who was ever-patient. Highly recommend.

Excellent online course

Excellent online course, enabled my son to complete his work and exams much quicker and more accurately at school. Great support, feedback and encouragement from tutor. Would thoroughly recommend, so much so my older son is also doing the DofE touch typing 6 month course.

The team at Type IT were great

The team at Type IT were great, really kind and patient especially at the beginning of the course when my son was struggling to complete all the tasks. The feedback was prompt, encouraging and comprehensive. I hope my son can keep up the good work now that he has completed the course as it is such a fantastic skill to have.

Very good learning experience

I liked the way the course was organised, the course content, and the feedback provided. My speed was 22wpm with 96% accuracy. I am very happy with my progress and will improve this further. I never imagined I would touch type. If you are looking to learn, look no further.

Great online course with tutor support

This is a fantastic course, a perfect mix of technology (a brilliant app) and people (you are assigned a personal tutor) to support you. Your tutor sets you lessons and practice and then reviews your progress weekly providing a useful feedback loop.

My teenage daughter is dyslexic and school suggested she learn to type. Type IT has been really excellent in providing a very thorough and engaging typing course with plenty of tutor encouragement. She has never been made to feel silly or felt demotivated. The tutors have done an amazing job in helping to keep her on track to learn how to type with accuracy and speed. Very important for her coming GCSEs.

Really great

Really great. Never though Jack who is dyslexic and has ADHD would progress so fast through the course. Really proud of him and especially grateful to the TypeIT team. Worth the 2 hour round trip.

This is a great way to learn to touch type at home. Fun exercises and fantastic feedback and support each week from Wendy, who was kind and encouraging. My 16 year old son made great progress, significantly improving his accuracy and doubling his speed, and remained engaged throughout. He’s now all set to keep improving his speed. I highly recommend this course.

Touch Typing for young children

A great, fun introduction to touch typing for my 10 year old son who struggles with handwriting. Fantastic feedback and encouragement throughout the course and it’s wonderful that you get access to the online lessons for three months after completing the course.

Helpful course for a DoE skill

My daughter completed this course for her skill section of the Duke of Edinburgh silver award. We were impressed with the efficiency of work being set, encouraging feedback and prompt responses from the online tutors. My daughter's speed and accuracy improved by the end of the course. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to learn / improve their touch typing skills which is a valuable life lesson in this modern age.

My son did this course for the skill section of the Duke of Edinburgh silver award. It was very well run. The lessons are online and we were sent lessons each week with regular assessments and feedback. My son’s speed and accuracy improved at the end of the course and he enjoyed it. The feedback each week was very helpful, as were the staff. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn / improve their touch typing skills.

Online DofE course

My son has recently completed a DofE touch typing course. This was a 12-week, online course, organised in a professional and efficient way. Weekly feedback was always encouraging and constructive. Many thanks for everything, Wendy and team.

Weekly feedback works really well

Weekly feedback works really well, keeping focus and providing regular deadlines. Its also personal as you have one tutor assigned to you. Its a good approach and my 14 yr old has done well. Hope she keeps it up!
