Find your typing tutor in Findon

To learn touch typing, you first need to grasp its essential building blocks.

• The home row: Your fingers always return to the home row keys — ASDF for the left hand and JKL; for the right. This anchor point is the foundation of every keystroke.
• Eyes off the keyboard: Looking away from the keyboard forces your fingers to develop the muscle memory that leads to real speed.
• Each finger has its own keys: Assigning each finger to its designated keys means your hands always know where to go without conscious thought.
• Accuracy before speed: It is far better to type slowly and correctly than quickly and with errors — speed follows naturally with practice.
• Ergonomic posture: Good posture — back straight, elbows at roughly 90 degrees, wrists floating above the keyboard — protects against repetitive strain.

A private tutor can help you build these habits correctly from the very first lesson.

The hourly rate for typing lessons in Findon averages $25/h.

Pricing can vary based on:

• Your current level (complete beginner, intermediate, or returning to improve accuracy)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The number of hours booked in advance
• The lesson format (online, at your home, or at the tutor's)

Most teachers offer a trial lesson so you can assess their approach before committing.

The key to mastering touch typing at home lies in deliberate, daily practice sessions.

• Begin with home row keys: Learn ASDF and JKL; before anything else. Once your fingers are comfortable there, gradually add new keys one row at a time.
• Short, frequent sessions: Aim for short daily sessions — your fingers and brain absorb the patterns best through regular repetition rather than marathon practice.
• Break the habit of looking: Deliberately training yourself not to look at your hands is uncomfortable at first, but it is the most important habit to build.
• Track your progress with typing tests: Typing tests every few days help you see real progress and identify specific weaknesses to address in upcoming practice.

A private typing tutor can significantly speed up this process by providing personalised feedback from the very first session.
