Built in Support
We know that learning doesn’t always fit neatly into 50-minutes. Some topics take longer to grasp, and sometimes students simply need space to ask questions or work through ideas at their own pace.
That’s why every FunTech lesson includes an optional 30-minute extension, built in from the start. It’s not just for the student’s benefit; it also gives our expert tutors the time they need to give proper attention and support, without the pressure of rushing off to their next class.
It means your child can leave each lesson feeling confident, with everything covered in a single session, which is especially helpful for busy families juggling packed schedules.
In most cases, this built-in time is all that’s needed. On rare occasions, we may recommend a separate prep session, but that’s very much the exception rather than the rule.

About this module
- The A Level Computing consists of 4 units COMP 1 to 4. Assuming that your child has successfully completed AS Computing (COMP 1 and COMP 2) they are welcome to sit their A2 Computing (COMP 3 and COMP 4) with FunTech.
- COMP 3 is a purely written exams and COMP 4 is a comprehensive piece of coding coursework that is internally moderated and externally marked.
- A2 Level Computing will give your child a thorough understanding and a solid working knowledge of coding.
- We teach the AQA Computing (2510) specification and add a lot of FunTech extra's which tie up all the loose ends not covered in the syllabus.

FAQs
What does a virtual class mean?
A virtual class is a scheduled interactive online lesson delivered by FunTech.
All our virtual software is Citrix driven and so extremely safe
How does the virtual class work?
All students receive a virtual orientation lesson before the start of their course.
For each lesson, your child will receive an email invitation containing a link allowing them to log onto our virtual classroom. We schedule a maximum of four students who are predominately based in the UK, however, a few of our students have moved abroad due to parents work commitments and therefore log in from further afield.
The lessons themselves are the exact same as is delivered in a physical classroom. Through our virtual classroom environment, your child has the option to raise their hand, ask questions and also speak to the other students in their class (though we do have a mute all option '- just in case!)
FunTech teachers are able to pass control of their monitor to an individual student or share it amongst all the students. With permission, we can take control of a students' monitor to demonstrate concepts, share common mistakes or outstanding work as we would in a physical classroom.

What do we need to join a virtual class?
Good internet connection, headphones with a microphone and a computer.
