I’m always looking for helpful websites that can make life easier. Two I’ve recently discovered are TypingClub and Calculator Soup. Let’s take a peek at both!
TypingClub
I type relatively accurately and quickly now, but to get to that stage I needed to use a program to teach me how to type. There are a bunch of good ones around, but if you’re looking for low maintenance typing tutor you can just go to the website TypingClub.
TypingClub shows you how to type quickly and correctly on your keyboard. You can participate in free training, and you don’t need a membership to use it.
The tutorials take you through the steps to touch typing and after each tutorial there are practical activities for you to try. You also get presented with stats at the end of each one so that you can see your touch-typing speed and how you did on accuracy.

If you’re struggling to do anything worthwhile in Windows calculator, then it may be just too simple for you. You might need one of the calculators at CalculatorSoup. On the website you’ll find all kinds of calculators from general math calculators to loan calculators to chemistry calculators. Each calculator comes with a description and corresponding math laws so that you can apply them correctly.
