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.
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.
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.
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.

Superb course for DofE
My daughter did the 12 week touch typing course for her DofE skill. I was a bit sceptical about it, thinking she would be ‘going through the motions’ just to get the tick in the box, but I was so wrong. What a great course! The tutor was excellent; giving really helpful feedback promptly every week and tailoring the pace to suit my daughter. She spent the first couple of weeks flailing about a bit, convinced she would never get the hang of it, but she persevered and followed all of the advice she was given, and finished the course typing with 100% accuracy and a respectable 31 wpm. I am so pleased that she has gained this valuable skill and is keen to continue practising to further improve. I am seriously considering doing the course myself now!

Great touch typing course
My daughter (aged 13) did the course for DOE. It was well structured and with a bit of perseverance my daughter can now touch type well. The weekly feedback provided lesson details to complete each period and with regular practice it worked!

Great help for kids with dyslexia
After having attempted a few other programs, my two sons followed the Type IT! dyslexia program. It wasn't a fast track, but both are now proficient at touch typing and use their new skill in class and during exams.

Duke of Edinburgh - new skill sorted!
Our daughter enrolled on the touch typing course for the new skill element of her Duke of Edinburgh award and we had the best experience with relevant guidance and feedback. She completed the course with flying colours. Everyone should do this course - fantastic life skill.

What a brilliant final result. Congratulations to your daughter!
Highly recommend
My 11 year old took a course from Type IT and really loved it. His tutor Mahima was fantastic. She was so calm and patient and very encouraging. My kid used to look forward to her feedback every week. He can now type with 100% accuracy and his speed is increasing with practice. I highly recommend TypeIT for anyone who is getting started with learning touch typing.

Totally exceeded my expectations
The course totally exceeded my expectations. The software was excellent and the tutor was fantastic. She really knew how to teach typing in a kind but very effective way. I still cannot believe how much my son learnt in just 4 days. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. It is a skill all children should have.

Wendy was fantastic
Wendy was fantastic, caring and supportive. Worked at the pace of my son who has sen needs. I would recommend her to anyone. It has helped my son and his school work as he can touch type and get down the information quicker. He can use a laptop as part of his EHCP. He has tried several other typing programmes previously but didn't work as it was independant. Having Wendy supporting him on zoom, it worked for him.
