The Typing Coach Online Typing Course - TOS Review





Most people would agree that in this day and age, typing is a must have skill. Most typing programs do a decent job of teaching the skill; but none compare to The Typing Coach Online Typing Course provided by TheTyping Coach.


WHAT IS THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE?


The Typing Coach Online Typing Course is a computer-based program. Coach personally guides you to learn how to type very accurately and proficiently without looking at the keyboard or monitor. There are seven lessons in this course: (1) Having Good Posture, (2) Home Row, (3) Top Row, (4) Bottom Row, (5) Shift Keys, (6) Typing Practices, (7) Number Row. The course includes a Student Packet, Learning Checks Packet, Progress Chart, and Teacher Resource Center.


HOW DOES THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE WORK?


To begin this course, you will need to create an account. Once you are logged in to your account, be sure to have your word processor open and your Student Packet next to you before pressing play on the audio lesson. Be sure to do everything you are told, stopping and rewinding whenever necessary to make sure you get it all. Repeat the audio as many times as necessary until you are able to type without looking at the keyboard and making no mistakes. Please note, there are two keys you are forbidden to use, the back space and the delete key. No correcting is allowed, your goal is to type correctly the first time. If you do make a mistake, you will retype the line again, learn from it, and move on. When you are finished, ask your parent or teacher for the Learning Checks Packet and follow the directions. When you are finished, call the teacher over or check yourself and mark it off on the Progress Chart. When you have successfully passed, move on to the next lesson.  


WHO COULD USE THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE?


The Typing Coach Online Typing Course offers slower paced lessons and regular paced lessons. The slower paced lessons are an option to be used for those 8-11 years old who may not be ready for the full, regular paced lessons. The regular lessons are to be used for those 12+ years old.


DOES THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE WORK?


Yes! My girls were able to complete one lesson per week with daily practice. If you diligently follow the instructions, by the end of this course, you should be able to type at least 10 words per minute. With the good habits that you will acquire, your next goal should be 25 words per minute; and then of course, with more practice, 45 words per minute should be hit by most within a few months – by those who are committed.


I highly recommend The Typing Coach Online Typing Course! Coach even adds a little humor as he asks students to type “lol” and then he begins to laugh and you cannot help but laugh along. Coach is here to make the complicated simple and make learning FUN!
