26/10: One Criterion for Choosing Your Typing Tutor
Category: General
Posted by: Product Manager
One thing that can be hardly found among thousands of typing tutors all over the world is the method. If you type ‘typing tutors’ in Google, it will return 33,300 links! Even if 1/10 of these links are not duplicates or trash, we will still have an impressive number to deal with. Do they all teach touch typing? Yes, they do. What is the method used in each program? This is the question which thrills me.
To begin with, almost no one cares to expose the essentials of the method they use. Some because they don’t have any, some because they just don’t bother or keep it secret.
The latter is especially funny. How can you make progress unless you know how to work? How can you plan your studies if you don’t have any idea what the studies are like and what they should be? How can you follow the method if you don’t know what it’s all about? And who can guarantee the result if you don’t follow the method?
So, the first step in learning is UNDERSTANDING THE METHOD.
Look at the typing tutor you are using. What method is used? Can you sum it up in a logical paragraph or two? If you can, you are probably on the right path.
