Free Trial booking at this centreThe Searsol centre enables children from the age of eight upwards to learn the skill of touch typing. Our unique training method focuses on enabling children to work independently, giving them confidence in their typing abilities. They progress through small steps to gradually develop their accuracy and typing speed. Unlike traditional tuition, Searsol fosters students’ skills in self-learning, building confidence and lessening reliance on a teacher.
Our typing course is suitable for all children from the age of eight upwards. We work with children that have learning differences such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or other learning differences.
Your child will be initially assessed by the Searsol tutor to determine what they can achieve in our typing course. Your child will visit their local Searsol centre once a week, where their Tutor will observe their typing and ensure that they are using the right technique. Searsol’s aim is to develop each child into a confident, independent and enthusiastic learner
Our Drogheda centre is located in the Drogheda Institute of Further Education.
My Name is Georgina Walsh, I am the Searsol Tutor at the Drogheda Centre. I am a fully qualified computer instructor, with years of experience working with children from babies to young adults.
Typewiz is a program that helps children to learn how to type in a fun and friendly environment. Students can improve their accuracy and speed, while working at their own pace, and monitor their progress each week. It is an excellent program that helps children to type proficiently. A child who learns to touch type will have the confidence to use technology to their advantage. Touch typing is a skill for life.
I hope to provide a very positive learning experience for the students, in a very user-friendly and informal environment. I look forward to welcoming your child as they begin their learning journey with Searsol.
