For kids aged about 6 to 10
Typing, spelling and story games for kids
Typing Tutor is a web game with 14 games that build typing speed, spelling and the confidence to write a story. A parent or teacher sets each kid up with an avatar and a 4-digit PIN. Kids never need an email address.

Fourteen games, and three of them write back
Most are typing and spelling practice dressed up as something sillier: catching falling words, growing a garden, outrunning a dragon. The three marked AI have an AI storyteller that writes alongside the kid, one line at a time.

In the AI games, every line passes a safety check before anyone sees it. How the check works.
How a kid gets playing
A grown-up sets up the profile and the device once. After that, kids log themselves in.
-
Step 1
Tap your avatar
Kids find themselves on a grid of animal avatars. A device only shows the kids it was set up for: one family at home, or one class at school.
-
Step 2
Type a 4-digit PIN
A parent or teacher sets the PIN. After ten wrong tries the profile locks for up to 15 minutes, which stops a sibling guessing their way in.
-
Step 3
Play, earn stars, level up
Each game keeps its own level for each kid, from 1 to 10. A perfect round moves it up and a messy one never moves it down. Stars come from every word typed right.
Spelling mistakes become Word Monsters
In The Dragon's Library, a misspelled word gets a monster sitting on it. The kid taps the monster, types the word properly, and the monster's gone, with a star for the fix. They correct their own spelling rather than watching it get corrected.
The checker leaves homophones and British or American spelling pairs alone, so "colour" and "color" both pass.

tap the monster and retype the word

For parents
You sign up in the app with your email. Your kids get profiles under it, never accounts of their own.
- Add a kid with a display name, an avatar and a PIN. Change the PIN any time.
- Set up their device once, either the one you're on or another one with a code or QR. It only ever shows your family's kids.
- A dashboard with stars, rounds played and the level in each game, per kid.
- A story library: read every story your kid wrote, word for word.
For teachers
Each school gets its own address, like yourschool.mytypingtutor.ai. A school admin invites the teachers, and each teacher runs their own classes.
- Paste a class list from a spreadsheet (CSV or TSV) and create every profile at once.
- Put a class code on the board for 15 minutes. Each device enters it once and then shows only that class.
- Print login cards with each kid's avatar, name and PIN.
Built for kids, so built small
Nobody else reads it
There's no chat, no public leaderboard and no sharing. Nothing a kid writes is shown to another kid, and other families never see your kids' names. The parent or teacher who manages the profile can read all of it in their dashboard.
Two checks on story text
A word filter blocks things that are never OK. Then an AI check, tuned to picture-book level, reads the line. Knights and dragons pass. Gore, sexual content, self-harm and real-world threats don't.
A swap, not a surprise
If a sentence the AI wrote fails the check, the kid never sees it. A gentle fallback line takes its place, like "A tiny star peeked out and winked, as if it knew a secret."
No filter catches everything, and this one can also block harmless words. The safety page says where it falls short. Read how it works.
Free, thanks to Talisim
Typing Tutor doesn't charge families or schools. Talisim, a company that sells travel eSIMs, sponsors it. In the app you'll see "Sponsored by talisim.com" with Tali, their mascot, on menu screens such as the avatar picker. Game screens don't show it, and there are no other ads.
Quick answers
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Typing Tutor is free for families and schools. Talisim, a company that sells travel eSIMs, sponsors it, and the app shows a small "Sponsored by talisim.com" line on menu screens. Game screens don't show it.
Does my child need an email address or an account?
No. Kids don't have accounts or email addresses. A parent or teacher creates a profile for each kid with a display name, one of eight animal avatars and a 4-digit PIN. The grown-up's account needs an email address; the kid's profile doesn't.
Where does my child's writing go?
In the three AI games (The Dragon's Library, Story Potion and Rhyme Time), what a kid types goes to the safety check and then to the AI storyteller, and the story is stored securely so you can read it. It isn't sold, shared with advertisers or used by us to train AI. The other eleven games don't send what a kid types to an AI at all.
When does it launch?
Soon. There's no date yet and no waitlist to join. When the hosted version opens, the "Coming soon" label on this site will turn into a link to the app.
