Touch Typing is an essential life skill and we find that children who learn accurately to literally type without looking at their fingers, will save time in producing homework and in exams etc. As experienced Specialist Teachers, we are able to effectively differentiate and individualise touch typing challenges so that all students achieve their potential. Multi-sensory learning, through games and incentives, create a brilliantly fun atmosphere in which children aged 7 upwards, thrive! We have children who want to learn good basic typing skills and those who need this skill in order to type for GCSEs, and A Level exams. Note taking, punctuation skills and real time typing under pressure are also explored with the advanced students. An encouraging, motivating and uplifting environment is created in which children of all learning abilities thrive. We specialise in helping children with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and hypermobility as well as for those just want to learn it as a life skill, or for application towards the skill section of the DofE levels. Our testimonies tell of children literally loving the courses to such an extent, that they often come back time and time again, bringing their siblings and friends for follow up courses!

Delia, Seth and Eden are fantastic teachers. Approachable, supportive and wonderfully positive. My 9 year old daughter has been really inspired by them and is already touch typing faster (with 100% accuracy) than she can write by hand. The course has been invaluable to her self confidence and the development of a new found life skill. We'll definitely be revisiting the course in the future for further development.

My son was diagnosed with dyslexia in his mid teens. Learning to type has been a really positive experience and effectively improved his writing speed 3 fold, with focus on accuracy. Delia and her team have been proactive and insightful in working with him to develop his skills and he has really enjoyed it. Thank you!

My son hugely enjoyed his week with Seth and Delia. The investment they put into each child and getting to know them as an individual really pays off. My son was keen to go each day and his confidence built throughout the week. I saw him making excellent progress and he wants to go back and do a further course with them. Thanks Delia and Seth!

Delia and Seth were fabulous tutors. My 11 year old daughter loved her online touch typing course with them, it was fun and engaging and she achieved amazing results in just five days. She joined as she wanted to get faster and accurate whilst typing her assignments and essays. Well, the results are there! I will be signing my 10 year old up to the next course. Thank you Delia and Seth! Veronique (parent)

My son did a touch typing week's course with Delia and Seth this summer and I cannot recommend it highly enough! He was thoroughly engaged, happy to go, happy to learn and picked up his touch typing skills fabulously within the week. Delia and Seth are an inspiring and brilliant team who are devoted to the kids they meet over the week. They really care about each child and get to understand very quickly how they work best. They also take the time to talk to you about your child, and respond really quickly to any questions via email once we had finished the course. I wish all learning could be like this!! Thanks Delia and Seth and team.

This is a great course. My dyslexic daughter has been encouraged to learn touch typing for years, and finally we got ourselves organised. She is Y7 and was pleased to find she wasn't the oldest there. She found it easy to follow the guidance and made good progress. Touch Typing for Kids has given her a good base from which to keep practicing and build up her speed. She was amused by the lively classes and thrilled with the various prizes she won. I was impressed by the emphasis on accuracy, speed will come in time. Delia and Seth were great teachers and kept me up to date on Phoebe's progress.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her touch typing course with Delia and Seth! It was lovely to see her so enthusiastic to go to the lessons and even to do the practice at home. They use lots of positive reenforcement with treats for accuracy which definitely motivated my daughter! She made a huge improvement in just one week on the course. I highly recommend!

My son did a one week typing course with Delia and Seth and not only did he thoroughly enjoy it but he has also learnt the basics of touch typing! Delia and Seth could not have been more supportive and he is really excited to keep practicing his new skill!

My son did a week’s course with Delia and Seth and I just wish we had done it years ago. He understood the frustration of being able to type with two fingers but the huge benefit of going slowly at first but using all his fingers, I think this will help him so much in the future. Thoroughly recommend for anyone.

My 15 year old daughter and 14 year old son just completed the 5 day touch typing course online. The teacher’s made it a lovely experience by being so motivating, supportive and fun!! I will be signing my 10 year old up to the next available course and have been encouraging friends to do the same. It’s a great place to learn a really wonderful skill for life.

Thank you Delia and Seth for running this course online. My son (aged 14), who has been struggling at school, was able to stay focused and motivated for the full hour and a half each day. Seth was able to help him and keep him calm when he was starting to struggle and get frustrated. By the end of the 5 days, my son was able to use the keyboard without looking and had increased his speed to 27 words a minute, He is now determined to keep practicing so as to improve his time even further. I hope that he will be able to take this new skill onto the next part of his educational journey.

Both my daughters went on this course for the second time. They came home beaming and so excited to complete their work, thought Delia and Seth were so kind and such fun. What an enriching week and absolutely beneficial for them both ready for the next year of school - typing! Thanks Delia and Seth for making learning so much fun and being so utterly professional and caring.

From the first day of the course we were greeted with open arms from the lovely Seth and Delia. My son couldn’t wait to go back after every session. He is now touch typing everyday with enthusiasm to better his score. Not only has he left with a new skill, he also feels part of the wonderful community that Delia and Seth have created. Thank you so much!

Delia and Seth could make watching paint dry fun and engaging! My daughter loved the course and can't wait to get the parcel of goodies she won for all her hard work. She's busy practicing every day and feeling proud of her achievements. Great confidence booster, thank you both!

Touch typing with a difference! What could’ve been a dry and boring online course, turned out to be for my ten-year-old daughter fun, lively and amusing. She absolutely loved the teaching of Seth & Delia and the program Nessy. This was a win-win situation as she learnt to type and, in turn, improved her spelling! Money well spent! Thank you, Seth & Delia.
