If you're comfortable with Mavis products you can get the Mac version here:

All typing tutor programs are largely the same. The methodology for teaching the proper typing technique was standardized decades ago. You'll find basically the same routines in every program.

Also, please do not type in ALL CAPS.

Thanks for response and suggestion. I need to avoid Mavis since her methodology seemed to impatient for an "aged" slow typing learner (age 81 that is). Ar there other programs appearing "more patient" and/or diverse in the training drills?

Too bad "kaz" didn't teach you anything about the Shift key.
