Find your typing tutor in Sydney

Touch typing rests on foundational habits that unlock speed and accuracy.

• Home row position: The home row is your starting position — both index fingers rest on F and J, the keys with the raised bumps.
• No looking at 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: Every finger is responsible for a specific set of keys. Following this system prevents awkward reaches and builds consistent accuracy.
• Accuracy before speed: It is far better to type slowly and correctly than quickly and with errors — speed follows naturally with practice.
• Upright posture and wrist position: Good posture — back straight, elbows at roughly 90 degrees, wrists floating above the keyboard — protects against repetitive strain.

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

In Sydney, expect to pay about $40/h for an hour of typing tuition.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your starting point and how quickly you want to progress
• The teacher's expertise and professional background
• The number of hours booked in advance
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

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

Here is how to approach learning touch typing independently for the best results.

• 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.
• Practise little and often: 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: Cover your hands or use a keyboard with blank keys if needed. Every time you resist looking, you reinforce the correct muscle memory.
• 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.

Following this method consistently leads to rapid, noticeable improvement over just a few weeks.
