Find your typing tutor in Geelong

Understanding touch typing starts with mastering its basic techniques.

• Home row position: The home row is your starting position — both index fingers rest on F and J, the keys with the raised bumps.
• Eyes off the keyboard: Looking away from the keyboard forces your fingers to develop the muscle memory that leads to real speed.
• Correct finger assignment: Assigning each finger to its designated keys means your hands always know where to go without conscious thought.
• Focus on accuracy first: Speed comes naturally once accuracy is solid. Rushing too early builds bad habits that are hard to unlearn.
• Ergonomic posture: Maintaining a neutral wrist position and keeping your eyes level with the screen makes touch typing comfortable for extended periods.

These principles unlock everything that comes next in your typing journey.

A private typing lesson in Geelong costs approximately $43/h.

The cost depends on a number of things:

• Your starting point and how quickly you want to progress
• The instructor's credentials and track record with students
• The number of hours booked in advance
• The lesson format (online, at your home, or at the tutor's)

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons upfront.

Getting started with self-study touch typing is easier than most people expect — the key is following a clear plan.

• Start with the home row: Focusing on just the home row keys at the start prevents overwhelm and builds the muscle memory you need quickly.
• Short, frequent sessions: Aim for short daily sessions — your fingers and brain absorb the patterns best through regular repetition rather than marathon practice.
• Resist the urge to look down: Deliberately training yourself not to look at your hands is uncomfortable at first, but it is the most important habit to build.
• Use speed and accuracy tests: Regular typing tests show you where you are improving and where extra work is needed. Aim to lift your words-per-minute score steadily over time.

This structured approach has helped countless students go from hunt-and-peck to fluent touch typing.
