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 Nass centre is located in St. Mary’s Catholic College.

Hi, my name is Caoimhe McKenna, and I am the Tutor at the Naas Centre. I am a primary school teacher and have experience teaching and working with children with dyslexia and dyspraxia (DCD). I have completed a major specialism in teaching using digital technology and have first-hand experience seeing the benefits it can have in the classroom and further afield. I have also completed a Child Protection Course with Tusla.
I am so grateful to be working with Searsol. Typewiz is a program that helps children to learn how to type in a fun and interactive way. During the hour-long class, the child is learning to type proficiently while having fun at the same time in a relaxed environment. I really believe it is an excellent program for children in the age range of 8 to 17.
I love working with children and it is fantastic to see their progression and growth and watch how far they can come on this course; their confidence and self-esteem will only continue to get better and better.
I am so excited to welcome you into the classroom and I just know you will love your journey with us!
