Maximize Your Learning
Focus on Accuracy First
Speed will come naturally as you build muscle memory. Prioritize accuracy over speed, especially when starting out. Aim for 95%+ accuracy before trying to increase your WPM.
Practice Consistently
Short, daily practice sessions are more effective than occasional long sessions. Even 10-15 minutes per day will show significant improvement over time.
Use Proper Posture
Maintain good posture: sit up straight, keep your feet flat on the floor, and position your monitor at eye level. This prevents fatigue and improves performance.
Learn Touch Typing
Touch typing (typing without looking at the keyboard) is the foundation of fast, accurate typing. Our tutorials teach proper finger placement and technique.
Track Your Progress
Review your performance metrics regularly. Identify patterns, celebrate improvements, and focus on areas that need work. Our dashboard provides detailed analytics.
Start with Practice
