I have found the course really enjoyable and very informative. The tutor was super patient and understanding when you didn't know how to do something and gave step by step instructions which were really helpful. He made the lessons so great it was like you weren't even learning because it was so much fun. As well as this, he made the course so easy to follow and it was very structured an organised but with a good amount of flexibility. As someone who had never coded before, I've learnt so much more than I thought I ever would and it has made me want to further pursue computer science. It made quarantine so much better and I'd definitely do it again. Overall definitely the most fun I've had in a lesson and was really helpful, I had a great time :)

Pritesh is really amazing teacher and explains things in a very clear and understandable way. Before coming to this course i had a lot of problem areas and didn't really understand what i was doing and the purpose of the code. However, now i have a much deeper understanding and i feel much more confident about coding. All in all its an amazing course i would definitely recommend and would do it again.

In the course all software was updated before the course started, allowing all the time with the expert tuition and ability to build up a new skill set.
The tutor was very helpful when my son was stuck the tutor made every effort to provide support even during out of class time.
Very pleased with the course and it will be booking in the next term holidays on different courses offered.
Thank you for running virtual classes during this uncertain times.

Arav had a lot of fun with the camp. It was very interesting and interactive for Arav, thank you so much.

Next holidays will look up for more options.

Python game coder

Artur said it was a very useful camp for him and it was a lot of fun. I noticed that at the end of the day he was quite tired but overall it was, hopefully, a quite useful experience for him - he is starting preparation for his IT GCSE exam from this September.

Python coder course

My son thoroughly enjoyed this course and felt the level of teaching was good and well levelled for his age group (11-12). The breaks were well timed and he learnt a lot. He has asked to do a term time course as he enjoyed it so much.

Python Coder Virtual Camp

Excellent virtual camp - my 11 year old thoroughly enjoyed attending from home. Congratulations to the Funtech team for creating such an engaging online experience.

My son thoroughly enjoyed his two-week course, the classes flowed well and they learned all the basics. Mathew, the teacher, was amazing, patient, funny and very engaging. I was very impressed by the follow-up calls, on a day Dalex had been sick and another he left early, and by the extra time he got to catch up on missed material. Impressive! I would highly recommend the course!

My son thoroughly enjoyed the Python Coder virtual camp. Initially he was worried it would not be visually stimulating enough but once he started he loved it. The teacher was very supportive, kind and patient and my son made friends on the camp. Excellent!

My son thoroughly enjoyed his time with Funtech! He was always eager and enthusiastic to engage with his instructors and to share all that he was learning with us. I appreciate the dedication of the staff and management of ensuring the best experience for our son. The small groups and instructor to student ratios were ideal for providing the best learning experience. I recommend Funtech without any hesitations. Thank you for helping my child prepare for the future!

Hi
Shreya seems to have enjoyed the camp very much. Although an intensive course, she seems to have enjoyed it, and has learnt some new skills.

Just some feedback-
She has done the course unsupervised by an adult and was prompted to log in at the start of the day. Hence, I haven't really been around to directly witness how she fared and and much of the time she has actually engaged in the course. Not sure if it is possible to give individual feedback, but in her case, it would have been useful to find out how she had been performing/ engaging during the course of the week. Nevertheless, every evening, when asked how her day had been, she always replied 'It was great!"

My 11yr old son really enjoyed the Python Coder course. This course was recommended as he had already worked out Minecraft Redstone engineering himself. Before the course he was intrigued but concerned everyone else would know more than him. I explained this to Funtech and they were very approachable and offered a 10 min taster session so he could see how it worked and maybe talk about Minecraft - which he didn't want to do but was happy about the course. There were only 3 on the course.

A few weeks later, my son did the Python Game Developer course. There were 8 on the course, and straight away, my son felt out of his depth and was lost. I think he was too shy to ask for help, When I explained this to Funtech mid course, they offered 1-2-1 consolidation course in the afternoon, but my son was too lost by then and not interested. Funtech kindly offered Java Coder instead, which my son started, felt a lot better about, still needed a consolidation afternoon and chose not to continue the course.

To conclude, I think the course and opportunity is great. Funtech really did everything they could to make sure my son felt some level of success, growing on from his experience of the Python Coder course. It may be some children are overwhelmed or don't feel they can ask for help, and so it was a shame that I wasn't aware of the potential consolidation lessons until it was too late on the Python Game Developer course, especially as another boy had one, a boy who attended the same Python Coder course as my son. In my son's case, I know he would feel shame if he showed he had fallen behind and so was not equipped confidence-wise to ask for help in front of others. Funtech did tell me that not everyone likes the style/format of teaching, hence their offer of the consolidation lessons which really goes a very long way to hopefully provide an element of success int heir learning.

Great tutor, fantastic programme

My daughter really enjoyed the programming and learnt a lot at the virtual camp. Her tutor was patient and great and providing clarity when required.

Great approach in New Normal

Summer camp is never a easy topic not to mention in this difficult time. But this camp means a lot for my child. Great thanks!

it's very effective and fun course

It was a great course. I had lots of fun. We have learned Python coding, and we coded great games.
Our tutor was very experienced and helpful.
I suggest this course everyone.

Python Coding

Funtech clearly put a lot of work into translating their camps into online courses. This was a great way for George to develop his love of coding and we were very impressed by the way his progress was carefully monitored to ensure he got the most from the course.

How to have a happy teen!

If you have a computer made kid, this is exactly what you need. He’s got himself up and ready to go every morning with no pressure from us, and he’s really enjoyed everything he’s learnt. I don’t understand any of it but since my son is happy and enjoying his time, what more could I want?

it's very effective and fun course

it's fun, we learnt a lot. we made games it's great
I've learnt to build projects. I made two games for only in ten days.
I recommend this course to everyone.

WOW

This camp might be the camp I enjoyed the most EVER!
The tutors are really friendly and supportive, I managed to finish a game in two weeks.
I completly recommend it to who ever likes to have fun, learn and enjoy!
I really enjoyed this camp.
=)

Feedback

I think Funtech should be recommended to anyone and the teachers, they know what they're doing. They know how to make you feel great and they won't let you down. Thank you to all!

coding course

i learned new code and new ways to code things involving user interface and also how to use lists, import function, games and more python than i knew before

So to begin with, I thought python was... difficult. this course changed my mind hands down. python is actually fun, especially when you make a loop where 160000+ numbers were produced in the console :D. That I think was the most satisfying thing in my life ;-) . So when the course started, I actually expected to go to the actual programming straight away. However it took nearly two hours to do so, and in that time I was watching python videos. At that point I was sceptical, saying that python was boring and then I was told that it takes time to get into the real thing. the other reason I found it boring was actually later, and that was because the sound was too low. I also had to change laptops, because the other one wouldn't launch and I think the reason why I fell behind was mostly because I couldn't hear. But it still took some time to understand that this was a first shot, and things could get better. So over the following days, reviews started to look positive. At this point I still didn't understand that yesterday it took time to get where I was and without it I wouldn't have come to this.
The reason I didn't take a star off this review for this reason is because on the fourth or fifth day I finally realised that on the first day I should have had the thought that you must make the most of it because it will benefit you further in the course. Then when loops started I started laughing about how many numbers I could generate and scroll through. I was thinking if python will crash. It DID. Hahaha. My reviews were really pleasing, and it was mostly about laughing.

However, the not-so-amazing things have to also be pointed out.

- A half star was taken off because the videos were very basic, and I felt that their pace was clear, but slow. This is not a significant downside, and it is minor, but I thought I should point it out.

- Another half star was taken off because although the video explained well, I just felt that it didn't get me thinking enough, and I remember only a couple of programs. Again this is not severe, but I do know that FunTech doesn't have too many options when teaching, but again, it was significant enough to point out.

Overall, apart from a few nitpick things here and there, and also that I knew the first day was boring for a reason, I am really happy with this lesson

i liked it, it was pretty fun!

the work was fairly easy to understand and when in need of help the teacher was very helpful and tried their best to help, also they like anime so thats a plus :D

I felt really good.

I feel really good about taking this activity as it will help going into year 8. It was good a really good use of my time because i would have been bored in lockdown.

Matthew was an amazing teacher. He was very kind and made sure we all understood every bit of the course, the way he spoke to us made it feel like he was more of a friend than a stern teacher. the content of the course was very interesting and gave me the basic knowledge I need to expand my python knowledge and journey. It was quite a small class, so everybody got all the attention necessary and the class was very well organised. Luckily my classmates and Matthew were extremely fun to be around. They were so sweet and made me feel at ease.
Thank you!

Good course, my daughter learnt lots of code for User interface creation.
But did struggle with her slow auditory processing speed and dyslexia on this course as very tutor verbal describe and text type heavy.

Being asked to type certain words in the script or create folders with certain names is also problematic if you don't know how to spell them.

But overall she enjoyed it despite these issues.

My daughter loved the python coder camp

She enjoyed herself in the 2 week course & learnt a lot from Scott who was very patient with the beginners.

Funtech review

the funtech course was really fun even though on a few accasions i struggled with my concentration, in the last two days i was in a 1 to 1 and i got loads done it it really helped me to understand all types oflists and loops.

Review

I have enjoyed learning with FunTech. I have leaned so much in such a short time. I have a deeper understanding of data types and what they do. I also made so many games like hang man and rock paper scissors. Thank you soo much!

End of Course Review

The course was very thorough and went through all of the units in detail. It was tiring, but a very useful course, as I was only beginning Python.

End of course review

I really liked this course because it taught me all the basics in programing python

good

the last day is the best as you are free to do what you want. i believe that we should have more time on our own things

Quite fun

It fun and teaches you computer science quite fun would definitely recommend

It was very fun

I enjoyed learning about more operaters and I learnt thing like ELIF.I also learnt how to make a project.Overall I really enjoyed the camp.
