This is a 1:1 Keyboarding Course based on my live group classes. **This is a relatively new class but you can see more 5 STAR REVIEWS on my flex keyboarding class, which is the same material as this live class** Give your learner the gift of typing-efficiency for the rest of their lives! This 8-week course will bring learners from beginner thru intermediate typing skills. The first few weeks will be devoted to learning the keyboard (the various function of the keys as well as letter and...
This class is taught in English.
Students will develop typing speed and accuracy. Students will learn to type using 3 types of input: written word, dictation, and their own thought-processes (writing a unique paragraph or sending an email). Students will develop memorization of the keyboard so that they can type without looking at the keys or their fingers. Students will develop a level of typing skill needed for today's educational assignments and high tech jobs which require much written communication at a fast pace.
My one-minute speed test result is 72 words per minute and I have had many jobs/businesses which require a lot of typing. I took a one-semester typing class in high school (I learned on a typewriter!), and avidly used a word processor in college (my friends would often ask me to type their term papers). My mom went to secretarial school in the 60's and she types 90 words per minute! After I developed this course she went through it and gave me some great advice on changes I could make to really embed these skills into learners minds for life! So this course is "expert-approved" and very thorough! (Please see 5 star ratings in my group classes).
Homework Offered
Learners will be asked to practice the drills again outside of class. They should also play the typing games recommended each week at least 2 times, 20 minutes each time (in addition to the game time in class time). Nothing needs to be turned in.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

We will take a typing speed test at weeks 4 and 8. Emphasis will still be on accuracy.Grades Offered

I highly suggest that parents try to stay somewhere in the room during our time together in class. I am not able to observe learners' fingers on the keyboards so I am not able to see if they are reverting back to "two-finger typing" or even "copy/pasting" of the drills. If you are in view of their hands, you can see if they are actually typing the keys :)
