Child’s interest and learning

Our child has great interest in Roblox and prefers it over other games. Now she has learned to design her own games. What the childen like, they learn faster. Good training.

Great summer activity and enjoyable camp

This was the second Minecraft camp that my son did with FunTech and he has enjoyed his learning process. It involves lessons, self-work, and implementing the learned materials in the game.
Thank you FunTech!

Minecraft Game Coder

Lyndon thoroughly enjoyed his virtual Minecraft course. He found the tutor engaging and the course was well organised and structured. Lyndon has now done 6 Funtech courses (4 physical and 2 virtual) and they have all been excellent. We would highly recommend Funtech.

Python-Coder Virtual Camp

Amazing courses! My daughter was very happy with the content of Python L1 and L2. I am willing to consider other virtual camps in the future.
Thank you FunTech!

Fun but long days

My son said he enjoyed it but he has trouble concentrating for long periods and 9-5 was a very long day for him. the Amazon voucher was a nice touch.

Great time for my son

He was looking forward to lesson every day and learned a lot. End of week two he opened a lot more and was having fun with other kids online as well.

Thank you so much for a hugely stimulating, challenging and enjoyable week for Charlie - he loved every moment of it. Joe, his teacher was incredibly good at explaining the course to Charlie, making it engaging and fun.
We can't thank you enough for the aftecare in helping Charlie get to and from the course, particulary coming home from Wimbledon to Barnes in the evening - so appreciated.

He is definitely keen to continue with either term time or more holiday courses with FunTech.
Thank you and the team again!

This is the first time we have used Funtech having enrolled our 7 year old daughter on a week long Roblox Designer course. We were slightly apprehensive at first, however our daughter had an absolutely fantastic week. She learnt lots of new skills whilst also having fun and making new friends. She’s already requested to attend the Minecraft Camp next year. Highly recommended.

Python Gaming Coder

Ollie had a great time making the game. The content stretched him and he learned new skills (classes). There was good support. When Ollie didn't understand something, he went back to the teacher and managed to fix it with their help. Another great course!

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.

My 12 year old son was completely engaged all week

Great teacher - course kept my son happily engaged all week. He couldn’t wait to continue the course each morning. He’s showed us some of the code he has done and we are impressed.
Would definitely recommend this course.
Thanks

Roblox Desiger Day Camp

Well organised and a lot of fun.

Another great Funtech experience

The children really enjoyed Redstone engineering and built some incredible things with their tutor Ashley. A brilliant way to engage them whilst we worked.

My son found the camp worthwhile and definitely improved his knowledge.
Virtual learning is always challenging but this was well organised and professionally delivered.
He did wish that there had been more interaction with other students, they learn from each other. I did feel that the students should have been requested/invited to show their faces rather than blank images. Face to face, even online is really important for understanding learning. This was not childcare for Owen but an opportunity to support his knowledge in readiness for his GCSE’s. I would definitely recommend.

Much more fun than school

From Max aged 12

Super fun and good for entry level game design. Really engaging and great teachers. It’s learning about tech in an interesting way - much more fun than school. I’d really recommend this to other people.

My son enjoyed the course

My son enjoyed the course and had a real sense of achievement. His teacher was able to engage him and as such I didn't have any trouble getting my son to attend each day.

Indie Game Coder

My son really enjoyed the indie game coder course using Construct3 and has clearly learned a lot. He is able to create simple games independently and has lots of ideas for how to push his new skill forward.

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.

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..

A great week

My child found the start of the course a bit slow and would have liked some differentiation across the class, but overall they really enjoyed it and felt they had learned from the week. They found the teachers very helpful.

Divya was delighted to have completed the Cyber Hackathon course. Even though it was hard in the beginning for her(she has just completed year 8), the staff happily went over it again and again and she was understood the course and was very happy to do it.
She is considering a career in Cyber Security, so this course has laid a good groundwork in that journey.
As parents, we were happy with the course, location, facilities and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

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

Our 12 year old son was a beginner in Java at the start of this course. I asked him after it finished whether he would recommend it. The answer was yes, for the following reasons:
- Liked the teaching style
- All the questions were answered
- Friendly atmosphere.

By the end, he has written is first gaming project as an independent exercise, up to 250 lines of code and counting.
Would highly recommend this course.

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.

I can't praise the level of customer service enough: from the troubleshooting software installation to regular updates and very flexible and understanding with regards to the change in dates, thank you all Funtech departments for your good work.
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.
