Any good free typing tutor software?

So I've been trying to teach my lady friend how to type and honestly it's been about a thousand years since I took my typing class. It's kind of hard to explain how to do everything when it's become a habit since I type all day every day.

Can anyone recommend a decent typing tutor program? I've already bought a couple (they weren't very pricy) and they didn't seem to really do anything more than ask her to type a sentence. So I'm hoping to find a free one, but really any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I know it's going to be tough to find a good and free one, so to the guy who was going to post something about "why don't you just go buy one and not be a cheapskate" - well don't worry I'm just asking a question on Yahoo Answers.
