Institution, teacher and student guide

START HERE

Start with the right account

The guide and PDF are free to read and share. You do not need an account to open them. School setup and student access use the paths below.

Benefits of the school module

• Keep classes, assignments and submitted results together.
• Give students a clear next activity instead of a long list of choices.
• Spot learners who need more practice and print useful class summaries.
• Use short practice sessions when a full typing timetable is not practical.

SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS

Register your institution workspace

Schools, colleges, universities, training centres and individual teachers use one registration page. Start free, with no payment details or extra setup stage.

1. Open school registration

   Visit typingtutor.online/school/login.html and select Register your institution. Choose coordinator or teacher and the institution type, then enter the institution name, your name and email.

2. Create your password

   Choose a memorable password of 12-72 characters and accept the account terms and retention policy. Select Create free institution account.

3. Verify your email

   Open the verification message in your inbox or spam folder and follow its link. If it expires, use Resend verification email on the school login page. Verification is required before signing in.

4. Sign in and open school

   Return to Institution / teacher login and sign in. Open My classes, Learning catalogue, Reports or Institution profile. Administrator activation is not required while public registration is open.

• Forgot your email-account password? Use Forgot password? on the school login page.
• A teacher registration creates that teacher's own workspace. A teacher name entered on a class is a label; it does not create a separate staff login.

SETUP

Create your first class

Follow the setup prompt on My classes: institution profile, classroom, students, then the first assignment. The next unfinished step is highlighted.

1. Save the institution profile

   Open Institution profile and check the institution name and coordinator details. Add contact email, website, address and country if useful. The contact email does not replace your verified login email.

2. Create the classroom

   Select Create classroom. Enter a clear class name, such as Year 7 typing, and the teacher name students should recognise. Select Create classroom to save it.

3. Open the class

   Choose Open classroom from My classes. The class page contains its join code, assignments, teacher reports and roster. Each class has its own code.

4. Choose how students will join

   Use Add students for teacher-managed logins. Students with their own verified email accounts can use Join classroom with the class code or your copied invite link.

TEACHER-MANAGED LOGINS

Add students and save login cards

Teacher-managed profiles use a class code, username and password. Students do not need email addresses. Obtain the school or guardian permissions required for your setting.

1. Open Add students

   Inside a class, select Add students. For one learner, enter a display name and unique username. Use a nickname or school identifier when possible.

2. Or add a class list

   Choose Paste or import class list. Paste two columns, Name and username, or import a CSV. Add up to 30 rows per batch, within the school plan's student-seat allowance.

3. Create the login cards

   Confirm that you are authorised to create the profiles. Select Add students & create login cards. A unique password is generated automatically for every student.

4. Print or securely save them

   Use Print login cards before closing the window. Give each learner only their own card. The X and Close buttons hide the displayed details; the students' passwords remain valid.

Example CSV content only. These are not real accounts or login details. Do not add a password column; the system generates passwords.

• Usernames use 3-24 characters, start with a letter, and may contain letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens.
• Never post login cards in a public class group, website or support screenshot.

STUDENTS

Sign in, join and start learning

Use the login method your teacher selected. A teacher-issued username is different from an email-account login.

1. Teacher-issued login card

   Open typingtutor.online/classroom/student.html. Enter your class code, username and generated password exactly as shown on your card. Complete the sign-in confirmation and open your assignments.

2. Your own email account

   Open typingtutor.online/account/?audience=student and register or sign in as a learner. Verify your email if you are new. Then open typingtutor.online/classroom/, choose Join classroom, enter the teacher's 12-character code and your class display name, and accept result sharing.

3. Open the next assignment

   Your classroom dashboard puts unfinished work first. Choose Start assignment or Continue assignment. The assigned course or test opens with the classroom connection in place.

4. Finish and check the result

   Complete the activity and allow the results screen to appear. Submitted attempts are shared with the teacher. An unfinished exercise restarts when opened again; already saved progress and results remain available.

• Teacher-managed password help comes from your teacher, not an email reset message.
• If you have an email account, use its usual email password-reset link.
• A institution coordinator or teacher login is not required to join as an email-account student.

ONE LEARNING CATALOGUE

Choose a course, test or collection

Open Learning catalogue from the classroom workspace. Use the main course as the default for older beginners, then choose activities by learning needs. Kids is an optional pathway. Choose by skill and readiness.

1. Open or assign

   Open any collection for independent practice. Teachers can select Assign on supported cards; choose the class in the existing assignment form and publish the task.

Paid institution plans include Premium learning for the owner and covered students. Additional collections can be added to this catalogue as the platform grows.

TEACHING

Assign a focused practice activity

Choose a task that matches the class. A short, clear assignment helps students practise the right skill and gives the teacher a result to review.

1. Select Add assignment

   Open the class and choose Add assignment. Give it a short title that explains the task, such as Home row practice or Kids lesson 1.

2. Choose a practice type

   Assign a main-course lesson, Kids lesson, Numpad lesson, left- or right-hand One Hand lesson, or WPM goal test. Set the lesson or goal, accuracy target and optional due date.

3. Publish and tell the class

   Select Publish assignment. Students open it from their own dashboard. An assigned course lesson can open without requiring the earlier lessons; that exception applies to the assigned activity.

4. Review the submitted attempts

   Keep the assignment open for further practice if useful. Late attempts are labelled late and still accepted. Close assignment stops new submissions; the existing results remain available under the school plan.

TEACHER REPORTS

Turn results into the next lesson

The teacher overview counts submitted work, not live online presence. A zero can simply mean no student has submitted an attempt yet.

1. Start with the overview

   Review students who submitted today, completed work, overdue work and learners needing more practice. Select a number to see the matching student and assignment rows.

2. Filter the report

   Open Reports, or the reports inside a class. Filter by class, student, assignment and date, then select Apply filters. School assignment dates and Today use the device's local date and time.

3. Read the measurements

   WPM means words per minute. Numpad reports use KPM, or keys per minute. Accuracy is a percentage. Separate charts keep WPM, KPM and accuracy distinct.

4. Share only the useful summary

   Use Download filtered CSV or Print class summary when the school plan or trial permits it. Check the filters first. Choose a focused follow-up lesson for learners below their target.

PLANS AND INCLUDED BENEFITS

Paid benefits and Premium learning

Every paid institution package includes certificates under your own standards, plus a Premium learner account for the owner and covered students. Schools, colleges, universities and training centres use the same plans.

* Default free allowance. Your dashboard is the authority for current free limits and any full-reports trial. Paid prices are quoted in USD; checkout shows any applicable tax.

• Premium lessons, games, hand guides, full learning statistics and ad-free practice for the owner and covered students.
• More class capacity, full teacher reports, charts and CSV exports within the chosen school package.
• Institution-issued certificates with your own title and wording, optional results, PDF downloads and public verification. No TypingTutor minimum score or completed assignment is required.
• Up to 365 days of available school results under paid coverage; Free keeps basic reports and up to 30 days of results.
• Student seats are reusable after a student is removed. Teachers do not need an additional student seat for their own included learner access.

Current school checkout uses Paddle sandbox testing. Test cards only; no real money is charged. A one-time annual school payment appears in Paddle Transactions and does not create a recurring subscription. If confirmation is pending, use Check school payment and do not pay again.

PAID SCHOOL FEATURE

Issue certificates on your own terms

Every paid institution can issue certificates to any student on its class roster. You decide the achievement and standards. A saved result, completed assignment, minimum speed or accuracy is not required.

1. Choose the student

   Open Certificates and select a class and student. Active and archived classes are available. Save your institution name in Institution profile first.

2. Write the award

   Check the student name, enter a certificate title and write the award wording. For example: participation, course completion or achievement under your institution requirements.

3. Attach results only if useful

   Choose Without results, Enter our own results or any saved student attempt. Incomplete and below-target attempts are allowed. Manually entered speed, accuracy, typing time and date are optional.

4. Issue and download

   Confirm permission to publish the student name and award details, then select Issue certificate. Open the certificate to download its PDF, print it or copy the verification link.

5. Correct or withdraw an award

   Revoke an incorrect certificate, then issue a replacement with the corrected details. Students can open their certificates from the classroom dashboard.

• New issuing requires an active paid plan. Existing awards remain verifiable after expiry, and the owner can still revoke them. Sandbox awards are marked Test certificate.
• Removing the student from that class or deleting the issuing account withdraws the record. Downloaded copies cannot be recalled.

DAILY USE AND SAVED PROGRESS

Build a simple classroom routine

The module can support short, occasional sessions as well as a regular class. Aim for comfortable technique, accuracy and steady progress rather than a single speed number.

1. Before class

   Check the roster, open the next assignment and confirm that students have their login details. Use a physical keyboard for touch-typing and Numpad practice.

2. During practice

   Let learners work on one suitable activity. Demonstrate the keyboard or hand guide when useful. Match the assigned hand in One Hand practice and allow a realistic accuracy target.

3. At the end

   Ask students to finish the results screen, review their own attempt and log out on shared devices. Check submitted work in the teacher overview.

4. Plan the next step

   Praise the skill that improved and choose a small follow-up goal. Use a printable summary for class planning instead of repeatedly exporting all student records.

• My learning account holds the school owner's personal practice, progress, settings and certificates; the school workspace holds class management and teacher reports.
• Teacher-managed student progress follows the classroom plan. Email-account progress can sync through the learner account. Offline or unsaved work needs a successful connection before online saving can finish.
• Keep your own device backup when you need an independent copy. Exported files and printed login cards should be stored privately.
• Removing a managed student deletes that login and its saved classroom data. Archiving stops that class's activity. Use these controls deliberately.

HELP AND SUPPORT TICKETS

Get help without losing the context

Open Support tickets from the school workspace. Schools, teachers and students with verified email accounts use the existing private ticket inbox; included Premium learning qualifies for priority support.

1. Open a new ticket

   Choose Support tickets, then New ticket. The school route selects the School account topic. You can choose Account or login, Payment, or another relevant topic instead.

2. Explain the issue clearly

   Add a short subject, the affected page, what you expected, what happened and the device or browser. For payment questions, include your own transaction reference if available.

3. Attach only a safe screenshot

   An image is optional. Hide student details, passwords, login cards and payment-card data. Confirm consent and select Send support request.

4. Keep the reference and reply there

   Your ticket reference appears after the message is saved. Email notifications can alert you to a reply. Return to My tickets to read or send replies; a reply can reopen a resolved conversation.
