My daughter has been attending FunTech Virtual Term-Time Lessons since she was 7. This summer she attended her second residential camp at Tonbridge School. She especially enjoyed learning how to design and build her own game. The combination of overnight stay and excellent pastoral care has given her a real sense of independence. Sadly, she fell ill and was gutted to have to leave early, but she’s already looking forward to returning next summer.

We are very happy with the Creative Tech course that our daughter Elisa Sophie attended this year with Funtech. Despite joining from Rome, with only a basic command of English and some technical issues that prevented us from switching her system language from Italian to English, she was followed and supported with great care and attention.
The entire team went above and beyond to help her reach – and exceed – her goals, making the experience truly rewarding. Elisa Sophie learned a lot, had fun, and developed new skills in a well-structured and engaging environment.
It was a wonderful experience, and we’re definitely looking forward to continuing this journey.

Fun techstic!

The Funtech team of tutors, coordinators and brainstormers behind all the courses and levels are outstanding.
My son has been happy to learn year after year at exact the right pace set for him.

Pure Coder

Has kept my son interested all year and he wants to continue. Thumbs up!

Excellent tuition

Both my children attend FunTech and can't speak highly enough of the service provide. They always ensure the kids understand the material and provide extra support if needed. They are highly organised and responsive as well when there are queries.

Engaging

Fun tech courses are highly engaging while providing high quality content.

Creative Tech course

Our son enjoyed the course delivered in the three terms. He learned how to use various programs and their application in the creative world. The classes are small and it helps to have a more engaging experience. He continues with Tech Pro this year.

We love FunTech

My son is with them for almost 4 years now, he got A* in A Level.

Our son, 10, has just completed the CreativeTech course with FunTech and he has absolutely loved it. He's enjoyed every aspect of the course especially the graphics element. As an aspiring YouTuber (what kid isn't these days!) he has revelled in the fact he can now create graphics for his channel. His introduction to the Adobe platform has given him lots of confidence, so much so he has extended his knowledge by teaching himself the basics of Adobe Premier which wasn't part of the course. All the skills he has learnt have been applied together making his videos slightly less terrible :-)

On a slightly more practical application during the lockdown he was able to utilise his new skills doing his remote school work where he was wowing the teacher with his creations. The added benefit for us was that he was doing his school work enthusiastically as he didn't see it as 'boring'.

The course was fantastically run week on week building on what he has learnt, on the odd occasion where the concepts were not fully understood FunTech picked up on this from their comprehensive feedback system. The concepts were then recapped in an extra session ensuring there were no gaps from the course. Absolutely first-class.

We are looking forward to many more years with FunTech and are excited to see where it takes us.

Alex found the first few lessons difficult, as for various reason lessons usually overran or Alex found it difficult to engage and was wondering if programming was for him. FunTech reacted positively, putting Alex on one-to-one lessons at no extra cost. He soon caught up and got his love of programming back. He enjoyed the rest of course and is looking forward to PureCoder Level 3.

Academic year 20-21

Good experience. No comments

Great experience

My son enjoyed his time studying with FunTech. The follow up 'prep sessions' to ensure full understanding were a definite asset.

PureCoder level 2 - Evan M

Evan has enjoyed this first year of regular term time coding and has found challenging the discipline and logic of determining what the program requires and how to deliver it in code form. He is looking forward to next year.

Purecoder 1

My son really enjoyed the Purecoder 1 course. The pace of the course was just about right - not too fast or slow and seemed fairly age appropriate too for a 10-11 year old.

My son has benefitted greatly from his FunTech courses, and his teachers have also recognised this when working on his projects at school. Learning from home with the Virtual Lab is so easy. He sign's in each week and is engaged for the entire lesson, learning and laughing along the way. The tutors and staff always bend over backwards to help, they recognise and give additional support when needed. I'm extremely happy with FunTech and looking forward seeing what he will achieve with them next!
Thank you FunTech!

2020-2021 academic year

Victor enjoyed his time with Funtech in the academic year 2020 - 2021.
He gained a lot from he course, he definitely enjoyed the teaching style of his teacher Calum, and we hope the next academic year will continue to be as good and smooth as the previous year was.

Great learning

Amazing termtime course..focussed on real world skills at the development stage of children's school years..

Purecoder Level 1

My son enjoyed the lessons and said his tutor was fantastic. It's a challenging yet rewarding course.

Dear Sheineez and team,
thank you for the dedicated work of the tutors. Luca had a good time and there wasn’t one single Saturday where we had to push him to go online for his course.
It was a very good way of learning, in particular during the Covid-restricted period of 2020/21.
We are going to move to the UAE and will revert back concerning possible future courses once we know how the new school and schedule of Luca will pan out.
Best regards, Stefan

PureCoder - Level I 3

My teen said really enjoyable and a lot was learnt in a fun engaging way. Definitely a hit.

Really fantastic - I highly recommend this.

Funtech have been fabulous. My granddaughter loved, loved the course - it gave her confidence and she really enjoyed every lesson, not only that on the occasion when she needed it, they gave her free catch up time.
Frankly, this is a fantastic company I cannot recommend them highly enough

Pure Code level 1 and 2 fast track

Our son Vincent enjoyed the pure code level 1 and 2 fast track.
It was good to also have the option of asking for a catch up session before the next lesson to go through and consolidate the more complex topics.
As a result, Vincent has chosen Computer science as one of his GCSE subjects.

The course contents seems to keep my child motivated at all times, and even when material gets harder, the proactive suggested catch up/support sessions help my child to progress smoothly without any confidence compromise. Great pedagogy and kind, supportive tutors.

Outstanding team, exceptional care

We couldn’t ask for more, the whole team is always there to support. We have been with Funtech for almost 4 years now. My two boys love it. Great community and outstanding teaching.

Now in 4th year

Our son is now in his 4th year of doing Term-Time sessions. It is one of the highlights of his week, and has learnt so much. He is only 15, but now doing university level coding.
Wish schools provided this option, as will be a great skill for anyone in the future.

My son Adam has enrolled on to the CreativeTech course this year after attending two camps in the summer. The term time offering is an excellent product with Adam engaged once a week alongside his normal school routine. He's learning how to use Photoshop which is amazing to see, given he is currently being schooled at home due to the lockdown he is still very enthusiastic when it comes to his weekly lessons and has even been able to use these new skills on work this term, producing what he describes as 'sick' leaflets for his space topic!

FunTech has a great blend of content and fun which keeps kids engaged at the course level, and if he doesn't quite get the lesson then he's ha a couple of extra sessions to go over and make sure the content is nailed. Its simply brilliant.

Term time P2 course

My son loves this course. He has learnt lots about python and the teachers are very friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.

Termtime class total pro

I would highly recommend. My 8 year old son looks forward to his class every week and has learnt so much. The funtech team are super helpful and always make sure he understands what is being taught.

Funtech noticed my son's strengths as soon as they met him a few years ago and on hearing this from such cool people, it boosted my son's confidence more than you can imagine! My son is dyslexic and has a slow processing speed, and with the excellent support from all the teachers and staff at Funtech he completed his GCSE IT 2 years early and was thrilled to get an A. I am very proud of him and also grateful to Funtech for spotting him all those years ago and giving me the confidence to let him fly with his GCSEs. He learnt a lot about how to study too, his way, which he can now take through to his other courses. The staff are engaging, fun, knowledgable and most importantly - cool!

Funtech has been nothing short of transformational and life changing for my son.

Through Funtech he got two A stars at A level in Computer Science and Mathematics and is now off to study Computing and Maths at Bristol University.

What was particularly remarkable was how Funtech recognised his aptitude for Maths. Initially, he was only doing Computer Science, and they encouraged him to start Maths as well, a subject his highly selective, fee-paying school never even suggested for A level.

Funtech do more than teach very well. They are genuinely passionate about their students and do everything humanly possible to inspire, interest and motivate their students.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My son Mark has thoroughly enjoyed going to Funtech. He has achieved A Level Computing 2 years early. The staff's dynamic approach to teaching motivates pupils to achieve their full potential. I can highly recommend this organisation to others.

A Level Grade A – before his GCSEs!

Wow! My son Mike began studying A Level Computing at 13 and completed it with an A grade at 15, before even sitting his GCSEs. FunTech has been truly inspirational, setting him on a path toward what I know, as an IT professional, to be the best career in the world. They even helped arrange a w...

Wow! My son Mike began studying A Level Computing at 13 and completed it with an A grade at 15, before even sitting his GCSEs.

FunTech has been truly inspirational, setting him on a path toward what I know, as an IT professional, to be the best career in the world. They even helped arrange a work experience placement at Microsoft. FunTech repeatedly go the extra mile.

But how did we get here?

Mike’s mum found a FunTech advert, and we took him for an assessment. I was impressed, they weren’t just taking students regardless of suitability but ensuring the right fit. They saw potential in him that the 11+ had not.

Rather than the beginner’s course we had considered, FunTech recommended a more advanced path. Looking at the skills they suggested, I wished more of the CVs I received for my business had these very abilities, these were the candidates I hired.

Mike thrived, and one success led to another. Before we knew it, he was ready to take an A Level in Computing, before his year group had even sat their GCSEs!

The BIG decision

I was concerned, was he too young to balance this with schoolwork? Would he have the maturity to manage the demands?

FunTech was supportive, professional, and balanced, always clear that schoolwork came first. In the end, I backed Mike’s enthusiasm, and looking back, I am so glad I did.

A Standout Sixth Form Application

When applying for sixth form, we were constantly told that the key to securing a place was GCSE results, GCSE results, GCSE results.

While other parents worried about predicted grades, I asked how Mike’s early A Level would be viewed. Thanks in no small part to the foundation and inspiration FunTech provided, he now has the freedom to choose his sixth form, rather than waiting to be chosen. Every school he applied to is keen to have him.

I cannot begin to express how highly I rate FunTech.

My three children have been attending FunTech since they were six years old. Two have already achieved A* grades in their GCSE, and my youngest is current working towards the same.
The older two are now attending programming classes in preparation for A Level with FunTech.

And thanks to the strong foundation they built at Funtech, Common entrance for all three was effortless.

Not only is the teaching first rate but my children really enjoy the lessons and as a parent I know the team will always goes the "extra mile". FunTech has been and continues to be an invaluable part of my children’s education.
