​Real Results from Parents
“Our eldest son did the touch typing course with Diane before going into year 7. He was 11 and has dyslexia, and the long term strategy agreed with his Learning Support is that he should learn to type.
As a teacher, and a mother, I am confident that starting the typing with Diane has enabled our son to get to where he is today – she is a super teacher, and consistently kept him motivated to progress, even when he found it tough going. We are now keen for our other (non-dyslexic) children to learn to type as well.” Elizabeth Wrench, Parent
"We have seen our eldest son move from the bottom of the year group to mid-top in just two years - why wouldn’t every teacher and parent want this?" Dan Howe, Parent
"I can’t believe how the twins have developed in this last year. M.. is using a laptop at school now thanks to our persistence with him. E.. doesn’t need to yet - laptops come in to effect for non-dyslexics next year but I’m glad they both did it, when we did it. And with you". Isabelle Woodward, Parent
Why Our Approach Works for SEN Students
Consistent Environment
Our VPN technology means every session uses the same professional setup. No confusing changes, no technical frustrations that can derail learning.
​
Patient, Experienced Teaching
Personal attention throughout. I've taught scores of children with learning differences over many years - I understand the extra encouragement needed.
​
Immediate Correction
I see both your hands (via camera) and your typing (on our teaching computer). Mistakes are caught instantly before they become habits.
​
Builds Real Confidence
Students see measurable progress every session. This skill is theirs for life

SENCO Norfolk Prep School
"I am a Child and Developmental Psychologist with 16+ years experience. I can't remember an assessment report in which I have not recommended touch-typing. It is the most important life skill I have ever learned.
The way the touch typing courses are run is incredibly professional. Well done."
​Dr. E. Alston, Salisbury
