Typing Courses & Dates

Naomi holds weekly beginners and intermediate touch typing courses throughout Half Terms, Christmas, Easter and Summer holidays for children aged 8 and upwards.

It doesn't matter if your child has never seen a computer before, or uses one everyday, the beginners course is designed to start people right from the beginning - a back to basics approach.

Naomi focuses on going back to basics for the simple reason that everyone needs to learn how to touch type from the beginning: Often when a child is given their own laptop, they get into 'bad habits' with typing. As time goes by, these habits become increasingly difficult to break. When learning how to touch type correctly, it is very important that any bad habits are broken so that the typist can progress quickly. That is why correct finger positioning and posture are vital to the process, as well as speed and accuracy.

Learning how to touch type can be incredibly frustrating, however, so Naomi tries to keep her lessons varied, fun and pressure free. She believes it is important for the student to feel comfortable when learning how to type, so she concentrates on providing a disciplined, but relaxed environment for the child to progress.

Students will also learn the importance of ergonomics (correct typing posture and seating) to prevent injury. They will be taught correct hand position and will be encouraged to not look at the keyboard when typing.

Small group sizes ensures that each individual student gets the attention s/he needs to improve quickly and effectively. By the end of the week they will be familiar with all the letters and characters on the keyboard, will understand the importance of accuracy as well as speed and have gaind an invaluable skill for life.
