Do you offer typing classes for teenagers?

Yes! Our typing classes are suitable for teenagers too.

We work with students of different ages and abilities, including teenagers who want to improve their typing speed, accuracy and confidence.

Our classes are particularly helpful for teenagers who find handwriting difficult or tiring, including students with dyslexia, dyspraxia (DCD), dysgraphia or other learning differences.

What will my teenager learn?

Students learn touch typing – using all their fingers and learning where each key is without looking at the keyboard.

As they progress, they develop:

  • ⌨️ Faster, more accurate typing
  • 🎯 Better keyboard confidence
  • 📝 A practical skill for homework and schoolwork
  • 💻 Greater independence when using a computer
  • 🚀 A skill that can support them through secondary school and beyond

Will the classes feel too young for a teenager?

No. Our programme is designed to keep students motivated as they develop their skills. Teenagers can work at their own level and progress through increasingly challenging lessons and activities.

Is typing especially useful for teenagers with dyslexia or dyspraxia?

Absolutely. For some students, handwriting can be slow, tiring or difficult to read. Developing strong keyboard skills can give them another way to complete written work and communicate their ideas.

Are the classes suitable for secondary-school students?

Yes. We welcome secondary-school students and can support beginners as well as teenagers who already have some keyboard experience.

Can my teenager practise at home?

Yes. Students can access Typewiz at home, allowing them to practise between classes and continue building their speed and accuracy.

What if my teenager is a complete beginner?

That’s absolutely fine. No previous typing experience is required. Students start at an appropriate level and build their skills step by step.

Typing isn’t just a school skill – it’s a skill they’ll use for years to come.
