TECHNOLOGIES and Touch Typing for Academic Success
Dyslexics don’t need to struggle anymore because FREE, widely available technology can be used to overcome difficulties with literacy.
Sadly, few schools teach students how to use these tools, as a result, many continue to underperform needlessly.
We have a proven track record of improving self-esteem and grades.

Course Content
We teach parents and students the skills required to overcome difficulties by seamlessly combining three components we have identified as critical for academic success.
1. Touch-Typing - Needed to access many technologies
Dedicated equipment is provided and support is given to ensure everything works.
Students are closely supervised in small groups.
Typing alone does not set learners up for success. Students need to learn how to use this skill to get better grades.
2. Technologies & Strategies -Students are taught how to use many technologies to::
Read for pleasure
Read to learn
Take notes in class
Write essays
Sit exams
Sadly, most schools do not teach these skills
3. Parental Support - Our ethos is to work in partnership with parents. Equipping them to support learning more effectively. This is a KEY component to the success of the course. Parents are always surprised by how much they learn.

How are the courses flexible?
All our courses are run remotely. This removes the logistical challenge of transport to class.
We found remote teaching more efficient and cost-effective before the pandemic
The Distant Learning section consists predominantly of recorded lessons, and typing practise that can be done whenever it suits. Plus, all lessons are recorded if you cannot attend. Leaving families time to enjoy the holiday.

How do we get such amazing results?
A single weekly typing course is rarely enough training for students to become touch typists for life.
Keyboard familiarisation is the first skill taught. Then students continue to practise typing throughout the vacation.
Accountability and weekly progress prizes (Amazon Vouchers) are extremely effective at motivating continuous improvement.
Improved self-esteem
While proud of how well our students type, we are even more delighted when parents tell us how the course impacts self-esteem and confidence. For more information check out our Google Reviews
