Suggested route

A simple learning sequence

Repeat a stage when it feels difficult. Accuracy and consistency matter more than rushing.

  1. Learn the home row

    Find F and J, place your index fingers there, and let the other fingers rest on ASDF and JKL;.

  2. Complete a short lesson

  3. Make practice a habit

Questions and answers

Where should I start if I have never learned typing?

Begin with finger placement and the first lesson. Spend short sessions on accuracy before trying to type fast.

Can I use TypingTutor.Online without an account?

Should I play games or take tests first?

Build a foundation with lessons first. Games provide enjoyable repetition; tests measure current speed and accuracy.
