Find your typing tutor in Wolli Creek

Understanding touch typing starts with mastering its basic techniques.

• The home row: Keeping your fingers resting on the home row keys (ASDF and JKL;) lets you reach any key efficiently without looking.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Once these basics are solid, progress accelerates noticeably.

A private typing lesson in Wolli Creek costs approximately $45/h.

Pricing can vary based on:

• The level of study and specific goals (speed, accuracy, professional typing)
• The teacher's expertise and professional background
• The package you choose (one-off session or regular weekly lessons)
• The lesson format (online, at your home, or at the tutor's)

Online typing lessons are often more affordable while remaining just as effective.

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

• Begin with home row keys: Mastering the home row first gives you a stable foundation to build from as you expand to the full keyboard.
• Practise little and often: Short, focused practice sessions every day help reinforce muscle memory more reliably than irregular longer sessions.
• 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.
• 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.

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