I'm mostly self-taught, though there was that one time when I got herded into a room lined with black monitors with glowy green text and was told to type in english sentences for no particular reason. It was cool and exciting for a 4 year old who had never seen a computer before (this was the early 90's), but we had 2 or 3 finger pecking sessions and that was that.
Other than that, my high school had a touch typing program that was never really used in class, but I "played" it for shits and giggles anyway. That helped me to start typing properly instead of finger pecking, but what really got me typing with decent speed and accuracy was the mudding phase I went through. I used Putty as a client back then, and not having aliases or macros meant more typing practice.
