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’ skill 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 on 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 Dundrum centre is located in St Tiernan’s Community School

Hello, my name is Máire O’Neill and I am the Searsol touch-typing tutor at the Dundrum Centre.
I have been showing people how to get the best out of their computer applications and their keyboard for many years. I am currently working as a part-time resource and home tuition teacher at a local secondary school. I have a reputation for showing empathy, patience, and understanding to all my students, but especially to the more ‘reluctant’ ones.
I particularly enjoy showing young people how to touch type properly in a fun and relaxed way. If students can get this particularly important key skill under their belts when they are young, they will reap enormous benefits from it later in life when they go to college or start work.
I try to provide a very user-friendly and informal learning environment for students when they are in the typing course. I look forward to welcoming you to the Centre and seeing your progress from week to week.

Information about Class Structure:
Our academic year spans from September through the end of May or June, depending on the centre. We offer a flexible schedule, hosting three to five monthly classes. The course fee remains consistent every month regardless of the number of classes held in a given month.
Our classes follow a hybrid model, combining traditional classroom settings with at-home learning opportunities. This hybrid approach ensures comprehensive learning experiences for students.
Home-based learning sessions are scheduled during specific times throughout the year to accommodate various events, including Halloween, Christmas, Midterms, Easter, and Bank Holidays. During these periods when our typing classes are not on in the classroom, students can access Typewiz from home using their unique passcode. If you need your child’s passcode, simply contact your class tutor or contact us via email.
We strive to provide a balanced and engaging learning environment that maximises student learning potential throughout the academic year.
The free trial assessment is an hour long and takes place as part of the class. Just drop your child off to the class and then come back at the end of the class. The class tutor will show a report on how your child got on detailing the following:
- How many exercises they did.
- Their average accuracy and word-per-minute
- What potential grade they can achieve on the course – Bronze, Silver or Gold grade.
