Typing lessons, assignments and reports for schools
Start with free setup
Save a school profile, create a class within the current free limit, and explore assignments and basic results. A limited full-reports trial lets you evaluate teacher reports. The signed-in dashboard shows your current allowance; payment is not required to explore.
For schools, colleges and universities
Unlock more student seats and classes, full teacher reports and CSV downloads, longer available result history, and institution-issued certificates using your own standards, with optional results, PDF downloads and verification links. Every paid school plan includes Premium learning for the school account holder and covered students: lessons, games, hand guides, full statistics and ad-free practice during the paid term. Compare the packages in School plans & billing. Existing core learning activities remain open.
For teachers
Create a class, add students or share its code, and publish assignments. Choose a main-course, Kids, Numpad or One Hand lesson, or a target-speed test. Reports show submitted results and learners who still need to practise. Filter by class, student, assignment and date, view progress trends, or print a class summary. CSV and retained history follow the school plan.
For students
Use your teacher’s login card, or join with an email account and the class code. Start an assignment from your dashboard. Your assigned result is sent to the teacher automatically while your ordinary typing progress remains available.
A physical keyboard is recommended for touch-typing lessons. Reports contain names and assignment metrics, not typed passages. Email-account students can leave to remove their shared results. For teacher-managed students, the teacher removes their profile and saved data. Free classroom results are retained for up to 30 days. Paid classroom packages retain up to 365 days of results while covered, with a 30-day export grace period after expiry. The dashboard shows the current free class/student limits and one-time reports trial. Free limits and trial offers may change for future use; existing paid terms are honoured. After the trial, Free keeps basic latest-result reports; full retained-attempt reports and CSV require an active classroom package. Account expiry or deletion may shorten this period. Paid school plans use secure Paddle checkout for a one-time 365-day pass with no automatic renewal.

Typing learning booklet
A short, eight-page English PDF for students and teachers: keyboard basics, finger placement, typing exercises, accuracy, speed goals and a printable practice record. Use it with the 7-day starter plan and 30-day tracker, which also offer separate printable worksheets.
An online typing program for schools and teachers
Teaching touch typing in schools gives students a practical skill for computer lessons, written assignments and future study. TypingTutor.Online brings browser-based typing lessons, practice tests and teaching resources together. Start with keyboard familiarity, build accuracy and choose a speed goal when the learner is ready.
Typing lessons in school
Use the 60-lesson course to introduce keys gradually. A short warm-up can fit into computing or digital writing lessons. Assign main-course practice from the school dashboard and review the submitted results.
Typing teaching for kids
Use the kids course and typing games for kids for age-appropriate practice. Automatic teacher assignment reporting covers main-course, Kids, Numpad and One Hand lessons, plus WPM goal tests. Kids games and independent tests remain individual practice.
Students in schools and colleges

Questions about typing teaching online
Are the typing lessons free?
Public core lessons, tests and games remain open. School accounts, student seats and report history have separate allowances. Start with free school registration and setup; see your dashboard for current limits. Paid school plans use secure Paddle checkout for a one-time 365-day pass with no automatic renewal.
Do teachers need to download typing software?
No separate desktop installation is needed for the browser-based school module. An internet connection is needed for student accounts, assignments and teacher reports. A physical keyboard is recommended for touch-typing practice.
Does computer use automatically teach touch typing?
Using technology and locating keyboard keys are different skills. A structured typing program adds demonstrations and practice. Read the educational rationale.
Is typing taught in every school today?
Provision varies by institution and curriculum. Some writing standards include keyboarding, but there is no single worldwide program or required WPM score.
Student typing tests and lesson assignments
Teachers can combine student typing practice with a clear assessment goal. Assign a main-course lesson to practise particular keys, or assign a WPM goal test with a 1-, 3- or 5-minute duration to review speed and accuracy. Choose a target that matches your class rather than treating one WPM score as suitable for every age or learner.
Students open assigned work from their dashboard. Submitted assignment results are visible to the teacher within the school plan’s reporting allowance. Tests taken independently outside the assignment flow are not automatically submitted to the class.
Before setting an assignment, explore the student lesson guide and student typing tests online. Use the 1-minute, 3-minute and 5-minute tests for independent practice, or the WPM goal tests for your classroom assignment route.
A practical school typing routine for one class
A useful school typing program should have a beginning, a measurable target and an opportunity to practise again. Here is one example teachers can adapt to their class level; it is a teaching suggestion, not a required schedule or a promise that every student will improve at the same rate.
- Begin with finger placement. Show students the color-coded keyboard and hands guide. Ask them to locate the raised F and J keys before practising letters.
- Assign a manageable lesson. Start at an appropriate point in the 60-lesson typing course or use the Kids learning area for younger pupils. Give students time to build accuracy instead of requiring everyone to reach one speed target on the first day.
- Observe and record. Use a short three-minute typing test to measure WPM and accuracy. Record the date and test conditions so later results can be compared fairly.
- Provide follow-up practice. Students with recurring spelling-key mistakes can revisit lessons; more confident learners can try targeted speed practice or longer text.
Example classroom progress note
Session: home-row practice and a three-minute assessment. What to record: practice minutes, WPM, accuracy, common difficult keys and the next assigned activity. Do not publish student names or personal results without appropriate school permissions.
