Booking a course at TTFK -what to expect?

Scroll through our courses menu for a time when you would like your child to attend either an intensive 5 day course or a weekly course, over a 5 week period. 
  • What can I expect before the course begins?
Delia prides herself in personally speaking with every client before they book onto the course, so that parents understand the course structure and what to expect. She also wishes to understand each child's needs, from learning differences, to allergies.  
  • What ages is this course suitable for?
Delia and Seth ensure that courses have a good mix of students; from the youngest at 7 years of age who are beginning to learn basic keyboarding skills, to the more mature students of 16 and 17 years of age, who may need this skill in order to type at a greater speed for their exams.

Additional queries

How do I know how well my child has progressed? 
We carry out a time trial at the beginning of the course and a like for like time trial at the end.  All students see themselves improving throughout the week(s) and are genuinely delighted in their achievements. 

There is a lot of personal feed back during the courses. Feedback is also given verbally, by text, at pick up time and by email where necessary. 

What can I typically expect my child to achieve by the end of a course?
A typical student with no prior knowledge of the keyboard might start the week at 4wpm 13% accuracy and finish the week being able to type at 8wpm 95% accuracy.  We have students who finish the week at 25 – 70wpm, depending on their prior knowledge of the keyboard! We expect an accuracy score of at least 90% and we expect all children to be able to close their eyes and know which finger is on which key!

What are the next steps? 
We encourage children to go away and continue practising. Typically, a lot of children want to return for follow up courses! These cover intermediate and advanced touch typing skills.
EAT. SLEEP. TYPE. REPEAT!

My 8-year-old really enjoyed this fun, well-paced course. Seth, Delia and Ayo are great teachers who inspire confidence in children and create a lovely learning atmosphere. My child is now able to type with 100% accuracy, without looking at the keys, after just one week. Now it's just a matter of building up speed with practice, using the programme provided as part of the course. He has also come away feeling confident about his learning and ready to practise. I would highly recommend Touch Typing for Kids and Seth and Delia's team

Delia and Seth invest in each child as an individual. My son hugely enjoyed his week with Seth and Delia. The investment they put into each child and getting to know them as an individual really pays off. My son was keen to go each day and his confidence built throughout the week. I saw him making excellent progress and he wants to go back and do a further course with them. Thanks Delia and Seth! – Julia Warwick, Oct 2022
