Touch typing is all about the idea that each finger has its own area on the keyboard. Thanks to that fact you can type without looking at the keys. Practice regularly and your fingers will learn their location on the keyboard through muscle memory. Sit straight and remember to keep your back straight.
Keep your elbows bent at the right angle. Face the screen with your head slightly tilted forward. Expose the shoulder, arm, and wrist muscles to the least possible strain. The wrists can touch the tabletop in front of the keyboard. Never shift your body weight to the wrists by resting on them.
Don't look at the keys when you type. Just slide your fingers around until they find the home row marking.
 
Limit your hand and finger movement only to what is necessary to press a specific key. Keep your hands and fingers close to the base position. This improves typing speed and reduces stress on the hands.
 
Pay attention to ring fingers and little fingers, since they are considerably underdeveloped.
Do not rush when you just started learning. Speed up only when your fingers hit the right keys out of habit.
Take your time when typing to avoid mistakes. The speed will pick up as you progress.
Always scan the text a word or two in advance.
Pass all typing lessons at any typing software. It will help you to get above the average typing speed.
Take a break if you feel that you get distracted easily and are making a lot of mistakes. It is more productive to come back when you feel refreshed.
