Virtual learning, real results
We’re redefining the way children learn by using the latest virtual tools. Our state-of-the-art virtual learning platform enables tutor-led home study through innovative business-grade tools.
Your child can log in from anywhere and attend scheduled lessons using virtual tools to communicate with their tutor and class friends.
The FunTech Methodology
A learning
Designed
to engage
Engagement and technology are at the core of our teaching strategies, with small class sizes guided by technology subject specialists.
Curriculum
is the key
We have a structured, project-based curriculum that’s continuously refined by our in-house development team to keep it ahead of the curve.
Virtual learning,
real results
Using a state-of-the-art virtual learning platform, we deliver tutor-led classes in real-time with a 1:4 tutor student ratio.
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.
All our virtual software is Citrix driven and so extremely safe
What do we need to join a virtual class?
Good internet connection, headphones with a microphone and a computer.
