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!

Mar 01,2020My son really enjoyed going for the week class in half term. The atmosphere was fun and they worked very well. He is now keen to touch type every day and wants to go back. Many thanks for your great and fun teaching!

Feb 29,2020My daughter Millie absolutely loved the class. She is an extremely shy child and for her to come to the class without knowing anyone was a huge step. She was buzzing when she came out of your classes and loved practising on your program. Every day she came to see you without me having to nudge and push her to go. Will definitely encourage my daughter to practice at home. I’m so happy she went and she looks forward to doing some more of your classes in the future.

Feb 28,2020My 10 year old son with autism and ADHD has done the touch typing course twice and has really enjoyed it. His typing has really improved and best of all he's had a great time learning a new skill. Delia and Seth are incredibly enthusiastic and their positivity and energy really motivates the kids. I would highly recommend this course.

Feb 27,2020This is such a valuable skill for all children to learn and Delia and Seth make it really fun and exciting....my son absolutely loved it and wanted to practice every night! I am so thankful to have started this journey with Delia and Seth who are so very supportive and kind and nurturing, it's been amazing to see my son's progress from not knowing his way round a key board to being so enthusiastic to learn to start being able to type out letters and work out spelling. I can't recommend this course highly enough!

Feb 14,2020A fabulous touch typing course for kids! My 9 year old mildly dyslexic daughter attended a 5-week course at TTFK in early 2020. We were keen for her to develop her typing skills with a view to transitioning her to a laptop at school. I can't speak highly enough of her experience on the course. The teachers Delia & Seth are so upbeat and supportive and my daughter made quite astonishing progress over the 5 week course. The teachers are so passionate about helping kids and seeing them succeed and their enthusiasm is infectious. She was independently motivated to practice between weekly lessons and it has been fantastic to see her confidence grow as she has mastered this new skill. She is very keen to attend an additional course at TTFK to continue to extend her touch typing skills. Highly Recommended!

Feb 12,2020My daughter who has dysgraphia reluctantly signed up for the beginner course as an after school activity. After the first week she was totally hooked! Seth and Delia motivated and encouraged her and she responded brilliantly. She went, over the course of just 5 sessions, from knowing virtually nothing about how to type, to typing fluently across the whole alphabet PLUS punctuation - eyes closed! Thanks Seth and Delia :)

Feb 12,2020My 11 year old son loved this course. He benefitted so much from this course. His concentration skill (which he was lacking before) had greatly improved which makes his school work a little bit easier for him to manage. He used to always looked forward to attending his Touch Typing class which was the highlight of his week, he could not wait to play the computer games that are part of their learning skills. Seth and Delia are doing wonderful things for these children and I highly recommend them to any parent that is thinking of enrolling their children to a Touch Typing Course.

Feb 11,2020Great Course! My daughter loved the class, the games she got to play on the computer (while she learned how to touch type) and the energy of the instructors. And she made awesome progress!

Feb 08,2020Seth and Delia make learning touch typing fun! My son (who usually hates any type of out-of-school activity, unless it’s football related!) absolutely loved learning to touch type with them. He looked forward to his lessons and didn’t complain once about practicing in between. I am delighted with the progress he made on their course, which has set him up perfectly on his touch typing journey.

Jan 31,2020My son has done three holiday touch typing courses and can now type sentences. He is thrilled that he can finally put down those amazing ideas in writing which he struggles to express in the classroom with a pencil and paper. He looks forward to the classes and is motivated to carry on typing at home. Seth and Delia's enthusiasm is infectious and the small groups in a family environment are friendly and fun. Prizes, breaks, snacks and certificates ensure that even the most distractable child doesn't loose focus. This was a well needed confidence boost for my son and I feel that he has a great study skill for secondary school and beyond. Thank you so much.

Jan 30,2020This is a truly transformative class! It's run by the delightful Seth and Delia, who are nurturing, fun and fantastically encouraging task masters that get the children to great speeds. Would thoroughly recommend it!

Jan 28,2020An amazing course! My kids loved going and didn’t want it to end. Delia and Seth who run it are truly inspirational and made the lessons so much fun. Both my daughter & son have been practising since. We can’t wait for the next one.

Jan 27,2020My daughter has attended two of Delia & Seth's Touch Typing courses so far. One at her school during the Easter holidays and one at the Hampstead Clinic. She was nervous attending the first one, but was soon put at her ease, and came away with a big smile every day! She was keen to attend the second course and was boosted to see her own progress throughout the week. She has been equipped with the skills and software to practise at home, but if she needed a boost I would not hesitate to rebook another course with touchtypingforkids. The courses are professionally run, fantastic for kids of all ages and highly recommended!

Jan 27,2020What is so wonderful about Delia & Seth’s touch typing course, is the effect it has had on our daughters confidence, it’s not just their enthusiasm, happiness and fun they both put into all their teaching, what’s best of all, is the reward and praise given, for the effort a child puts into their own progress, and I can see how proud Eirian felt about her own achievements after completing her touch typing course. Delia and Seth’s, warm, welcoming home environment, fun breaks, snacks and rewards system is key part in having a relaxed, happy, open mindset for learning. I have recommended your courses to so many friends and I am certain our children will be back to attend your future courses. “Thank you” Delia and Seth, your attitude, motivation to learning and the help you’ve both given our three children is inspirational, you truly understand an individual child’s way of thinking.

Jan 27,2020My son was not delighted I had booked him onto the course but he improved throughout the week and didn’t complain about going once he had started. Thank you for building up his accuracy, speed and confidence.

Mar 05,2020Yet again our daughter had a brilliant week. She has progressed so much and loves going, she never wants to stop and got sad at the thought that one day it will end, as she's getting good at it! She described touch typing as the best and her idea of heaven! As usual Delia and Seth were full of energy, enthusiasm and commitment. They are clearly passionate and offer so much warmth, attention and praise, helping children to learn. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
