Find your typing tutor in Hornsby

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

• Home row position: 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.
• No looking at the keyboard: Training yourself not to look at the keyboard is essential — your brain needs to build a mental map of key positions.
• Correct finger assignment: Using the correct finger for each key reduces strain and makes your technique sustainable over long practice sessions.
• Accuracy before speed: Prioritising accuracy over speed in the early stages leads to faster long-term progress.
• Ergonomic posture: Good posture — back straight, elbows at roughly 90 degrees, wrists floating above the keyboard — protects against repetitive strain.

With these foundations in place, more advanced speed and accuracy become much easier to develop.

The hourly rate for typing lessons in Hornsby averages $40/h.

The cost depends on a number of things:

• Your current level (complete beginner, intermediate, or returning to improve accuracy)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The package you choose (one-off session or regular weekly lessons)
• The lesson format (online, at your home, or at the tutor's)

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value for your needs.

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

• Start with the home row: Learn ASDF and JKL; before anything else. Once your fingers are comfortable there, gradually add new keys one row at a time.
• Practise little and often: Short, focused practice sessions every day help reinforce muscle memory more reliably than irregular longer sessions.
• Resist the urge to look down: Use a cloth over your hands or blank keycaps to make looking down impossible — this accelerates muscle memory development significantly.
• Track your progress with typing tests: Measuring your WPM and accuracy regularly keeps you motivated and highlights which keys or finger movements need more attention.

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