Day camp review

My sons really enjoyed this course and understood the basics of python.

Thank you for your time and efforts

My son as a matter of principle and his age doesn’t have his own computer so has to use mine. Other providers use a virtual environment which has python embedded for similar courses.

Python Level 1 - 2 week course

My son LOVED this course!

He particularly enjoyed using his new knowledge to write his own code.

Aaron had an excellent time and said python was made easy by all the friendly staff

My son enjoyed his week long residential camp with Funtech at Tonbridge. He learned a lot and from my perspective the camp was very well organised. While it's not Funtech's fault that some children are disruptive to the point of impacting negatively other participants' experience, nevertheless Funtech staff should be trained to deal with such situations. My son said there was virtually no discipline, and one particular child's behaviour was completely out of order to the point of extremely inappropriate, yet he was allowed to carry on like that through out the week. This would be the main area of improvement I would recommend.

Amazing

My son had a great time at the Python camp. He learned a lot and wishes to continue at the next occasion. Tonbridge school is an amazing place to stay and the accommodation and the food were good, he said. The teachers and staff are qualified and pay attention to any boys’ needs. Thank you to all.

Love the course not quite the site used to host classes

Love the course not quite the site used to host classes It’s hot and stuffy and not suitable for kids with allergies . Although I was assured there will be fans in the room and windows and doors opened for ventilation. It’s not the case. The door was open but the classroom was stuffy and super hot.

It’s hot and stuffy and not suitable for kids with allergies . Although I was assured there will be fans in the room and windows and doors opened for ventilation. It’s not the case. The door was open but the classroom was stuffy and super hot.

We were affected by the rail strike the week my child had the course . There was no provision for on line learning for him. That was poor support especially when we have just gone through more than two years of pandemic - I would have thought fun tech of all places would have the flexibility.

On the plus points - staff members were courteous and my son seemed to have enjoyed it.

Fun at FunTech

Chloe thoroughly enjoyed her Python Coding residential camp. She has done a little bit of Python coding before so the tutors adapted her tasks to make them a little more challenging. She learnt some new coding skills but, most notably of all, she had fun !

It was probably her favourite camp ever

Ayesha loved Funtech and also enjoyed Lego camp last year.
She has since been coding at home, and learnt a lot at camp.
She also enjoyed working with and learning from the other students at Funtech.
It was probably her favourite camp ever.

Brian enjoyed the FunTech camp

Brian enjoyed the FunTech camp because it taught him new stuff about Python.
And he met new friends there.

Lewis thoroughly enjoyed the Python course

Lewis thoroughly enjoyed the Python course. He learnt a lot and his teacher was good. Lewis would now like to do weekly courses with you.

Perfect week!

My two sons had a perfect week with FunTech, they really enjoyed the lessons, the instructor was kind and knowledgeable, they learned a lot. They will be back next year!

Great fun

My son really enjoyed the Python camp. He learned so much over the week and is now feeling really confident going into his ICT classes at school next year. The instructor was particularly nice and patient and made it a really happy week.

I loved it!

I loved it here at Funtech, everyday we learned something new and we got to create some kind of project using those codes.
And the tutors, Hafsa and Ben, helped us if we needed help.

This was my son’s first residential camp and after all the lockdowns, it was a huge step for him to go away from home for a week. When I booked him onto the course, it was because he needed help with his Python because he chose Computer Science as a GCSE, however what I hadn’t anticipated was the huge life learning experience and independence gained from doing a residential course. The pastoral team were utterly amazing. They kept the kids busy in the evenings and they had loads of opportunities to mix and let their hair down after learning Python during the day. My son said he feels much more confident in his skills and when I asked him if he would do it again, he said “I think so” this is huge for him because he normally fobs me off with an “I’ll think about it” in the hope I will forget the question! This is the whole package - an absolutely wonderful experience from top to bottom. Thank you!

Fantastic python coding course

My daughter took the beginners level python course and absolutely loved it. It was set at just the right level for her and she's keen on doing the next level.

Very good experience

My son attended Python Coder summer camp in Northwood and he loved it. He seems to have gained quite a bit of knowledge about Python and will definitely come back for level 2 sometime later.

My son had a very enjoyable week, and is keen to return.

Python coder school holiday course

My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at FunTech and on this course. The instructor was very helpful and small class sizes a big plus. I would recommend for anyone who would like to introduce their child to Python & general coding concepts.

A great camp

Noaz very much enjoyed his time at the camp. Thank you for putting on such an enriching experience.

Python - Coder virtual camp

It's a great camp to introduce the python code to young children. Tutor even offered additional Q&A session to help my boy, which is very kind. It will help the children revise the new knowledge if small assignment can be provided after each session.

Thank you.

I think this course has been a great success for my son and although the first few days he found the content easy he soon settled in and it has cemented his knowledge which we wanted to make sure we could do. The tutor Sam impressed me as he had to deal with younger students and my son at the same time but he managed the age gap and gave my son different tasks as he realised maybe my son needed a bit more to do at times. He was professional at all times and the whole course was prompt and well managed.
We are doing 2 more courses and my son is looking forward to progressing with Funtech’s help.

Good week of learning

My daughter enjoyed the virtual club and learning to code.

An Amazing Experience

My daughter enjoyed the course, she learned so much and would definitely continue to complete more courses with FunTech. The teacher was so knowledgeable, professional and the whole experience was so much fun and full of things to learn.

My 13 year old son, while slightly reluctant at first to do a course during the summer holidays, soon became engaged with it and said he learned a lot. He feels this has set him up well to start Year 9/GCSE computer science and also commented that the tutors were very nice.

Python Coder

My son went on the Python Coder day camp, which he loved. It is the only holiday course he has ever done which he said he would like to go back to. I was also delighted that he came home each day having done lots of running around in his break times. All in all a great success with lots of learning.

Python Coder Review

This camp was great as the teacher was very enthusiastic and the course was nicely set

Very engaging program

Although 3.5 hrs daily and virtually, the kids were very focused and engaged, having truly learned in a hands on environment. Strongly recommended.

Python Coder virtual camp

Ethan enjoyed his course and has asked me to sign him up for the next level. I found the half day sessions works well as his concentration diminishes as the day progresses.

Python Coder

My daughter enjoyed it, and she has already starting to link it to work she is doing with Scratch programming in school.

Python club

Gali really enjoyed the club. She was excited every day to learn new things. Her instructor Joel was kind and helpful. Very professional. She is looking forward to sign up for Python 2. Thank you Funtech for doing an amazing job :)

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!

Well run, excellent instructors and great support provided

Lessons were well conducted, enthusiastic instructors. I was particularly impressed by the additional consolidation sessions provided if the child requires it as that meant no kid would be left behind in subsequent lessons if he/she didn’t understand a particular concept.

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.

FunTech response: we do encourage children to turn on their webcams but sadly we cannot enforce it.
