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.

DofE 13-week touch typing course

My daughter completed the 13-week touch typing course for her bronze DofE award. It has been everything we hoped and more. The lessons have been easy to follow and enjoyable, and the support the Type It! Team has given has been brilliant. They’re all very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

An excellent course

Thank you to the whole team for helping my 11 year old to learn to touch type. The teachers were fantastic, very patient and methodical in their approach during in person and online lessons. I would highly recommend this course and welcome the opportunity for my daughter to return at a later date, to top up her skills if needed.

Perfect - well managed and very professional

The course was well explained and simple to follow - it suited our son very well as he could complete it in a daily short session and all online. The feedback was timely and clear. All communication was professional and it was an excellent way to complete his silver D of E skill test.

I would highly recommend Type IT! Touch Typing

I would highly recommend Type IT! Touch Typing. When I first contacted Tracy, she was very willing to advise on what would be best for my son rather than just offer a generic course. Wendy, who taught him, was brilliant at creating a teaching environment specifically for my son, he has really enjoyed the lessons and is now able to touch type. Wendy and Tracy were happy to go at his pace and be led by him, changing pace and lessons as required, but also move him forward at the same time. I was also given detailed feedback to help support him at home. He can now touch type and they have advised how he can continue to build on this going forward.

DofE touch typing course

Our son undertook the 12-week touch typing course for DofE. Everything about the course was impressive; the delivery, administration, methodology and weekly feedback all ensured he remained motivated and learned so much. We have had three children undertake numerous DofE activities - this was one of the most enjoyable and effective ones any of them have completed. Thank you Type IT!

DofE Skill for Life

My son has just completed the course as part of his DofE and enjoyed the whole process. Helpfully, TouchTypeIT.co.uk also lodged all the necessary reports/documentation directly with his DofE Accessor for approval. TouchTypeIT.co.uk is a very professional outfit, with impressive technology, and seemed to have a clear understanding of what was required to keep my son interested and engaged - Ellie’s weekly personalised feedback was always helpful and full of encouragement. I would highly recommend TouchTypeIT.co.uk to anyone learning to type or wanting to increase their speed.

Highly recommend

My son chose Touch Typing for his Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Level skill. He was so excited about the progress he made through out the 13 week course. He enjoyed practicing and pushed himself to type faster without error.
Mahima gave feed back weekly and encouraged my son to do better. She was very patient and kind to him. Thank you.
He finds doing his school homework easier to complete with his new learned skill. Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend this course. I have no doubt that this skill will help him in the future.

Well Structured Program with Measureable Outcomes

Program was structured and was supplemented with practice options to work at your own pace. Scheduling was flexible and the feedback loop was very helpful. What was best about this program is that we could see measurable outcomes which was super important.

Learn to touch type in one term

When our son got a laptop in Yr 7 we thought it would be good to get him to learn to touch type. It has been brilliant. Really structured and straight forward with bite size chunks of learning and repetition. Definitely would recommend.

Very helpful for adults with little time to practice

As an adult who has a busy job and struggled to practise touch typing regularly, getting a tutor and completing the exercises offered by Type IT! has been incredibly helpful. My tutor Mahima carefully looked at my scores, gave me feedback and new exercises once a week, which meant I needed to practise consistently and was committed to someone. I renewed the course several times as I found it so helpful. Would recommend for sure!
