Typing Tutorial Instructions

Advice: We strongly recommend you to take a demo lesson at least once to get familiar with typing tutor.

In this tutorial the following variants of training are possible: a lesson, a practice, and a test. The course is intended for beginning typists. For those who want to improve their typing skills, there is an opportunity independently to choose which lessons to take. All features are accessible only after registration.

LESSON: At the beginning of a lesson you will see an image with finger scheeme: which finger to use to press each key. Do not look at the keyboard while you type. Pay more attention to accuracy rather than to typing speed, accuracy is more important and plays major role in calculating your WPM. More mistakes you make, lower WPM you will get at the end.

PRACTICE: During a practice or typing test, the keyboard from the screen will be removed. In practice activities, your purpose is to increase speed with the least amount of mistakes. These practices will help you to stregthen your typing skills. At the beginning it will be difficult without keyboard on the screen, but after while it will become much more easier.

TEST: During a test, the keyboard will be removed from the screen. The purpose of the test almost the same as the practice. The difference is that after passing certain tests your "typing level" will be raised. There are following typist levels:

1. Beginning typist - little or no experience typing.
2. Average typist - Knows where the majorities of alphabetic keys are and can type with two or more fingers.
3. Advanced typist - Can type all letters and punctuation with all fingers. Typing speed is not less than 30 words per minute.
4. Expert typist - Knows where all letters and symbols are located on the keyboard. Typing speed is not less than 40 words per minute.

Typing games are a great way to improve your typing speed and accuracy. These typing games make practicing the keyboard more enjoyable and fun. Play typing games often and watch your typing skills improve!

After finishing all lessons, practices and tests, you will automatically get access to the examination room, where you can try to pass final certification exam. If you pass it, you will get your free online typing certificate.
