Funtech was a cool course which sometimes cheers me up on Saturday Mornings, the reason why I gave it a 4/5 was because the first term, when we were learning about Photoshop, I didn't think it was for me, I was only good at editing photos and pictures, I even help my dad edit his photos, but I just feel like the other things were very confusing, although just recently, I have been drawing a feather on photoshop which has made me more confident, although we finished photoshop long ago. My mother encouraged me to make animations with Adobe but I could only make simple ones with motion tweening, so I did the harder way and half finished a walking bear's animation in which I lost interest in. I must admit, my favourite adobe app has to be Adobe Dreamweaver, I've created my own website just for a novel I'm writing on word. I created the website which contains information about my novel and I pasted the link in the prologue chapter of my document.

I look forward for the next prep sessions to cover up concepts I don't understand, and the next level of pure coder.
Thank You

This year at Funtech has been enjoyable with the adobe apps we learnt such as illustrator, photoshop, animation, and Dreamweaver. I enjoy photoshop over illustrator but they are both fantastic and I enjoy doing the lessons. I do love this year with Funtech and doing animations and writing code with the tutors, though I would be joyful having more JavaScript code lessons.

Pure coder Review

I really liked the Pure coder 1 class and most of the classes were interesting, and it's fun to think about how some games would work with Pycharm, I had a good time with my classmates and teacher. Happy summer.

Pure Coder Level 1

PC01 was a good and fun course and content was taught well

'ery nice

yep

Good course

The content of this course was interesting and I learned how to code a lot of different elements such as creating a server and clients.
Each lesson was a little bit too short for the content we had to cover so we were sometimes behind the unit number

Really good! High redo standards.

All of the lessons have been highly engaging, the teachers interesting and the content is succinct and understandable. Lessons are long, but time seems to fly while learning. Overall, lessons have been very good, and the work is covered well. However, the homework has very high redo standar...

All of the lessons have been highly engaging, the teachers interesting and the content is succinct and understandable.
Lessons are long, but time seems to fly while learning.
Overall, lessons have been very good, and the work is covered well.
However, the homework has very high redo standards (not even 90% overall, 90% for each question), and necessitates multiple redos for each submission.
This can easily pile up and be demotivating.
But, overall, the course has been interesting, covered well, and is great.

I found this course to be very useful and well-explained. All problems that I have mentioned have all been dealt with quite nice. The teachers are quite friendly and really good at communicating with students. Despite that however I find it a bit cumbersome to have type reviews every lesson as it is hard to give meaningful feedback and it is a tad bit annoying. Otherwise from that, this was a really great experience and am glad to have been a part of it.

My year at FunTech

It has been a brilliant year with topic ranging from Music to Film Editing to coding platformer games. Our teacher, has been super kind, helpful and very nice. We learnt a lot, and I have learnt a lot.

Funtech PureCoder Level 2

It was very fun. I learnt a lot about python and I can now code fluently in python. We made many projects and we learnt about classes, Tkinter, Graphs, Queues and Stacks.

Interesting but difficult

An interesting course about gaming in python but a lot of code needs to be memorised. Quite a bit of content and time needs to be spent learning it all. It is very intriguing to learn.

Great year, learnt a lot

At the start I thought there'd be no way I'd be able to make a 2D game engine in Python, but here I am I guess. The Tutor was great and clearly knew a lot more than what was needed, so that was really great. I did get lost along the way a few times but I understood what was going on in general...

At the start I thought there'd be no way I'd be able to make a 2D game engine in Python, but here I am I guess.
The Tutor was great and clearly knew a lot more than what was needed, so that was really great.
I did get lost along the way a few times but I understood what was going on in general quite confidently just the little small things were what sometimes confused me.
Can't wait to continue FunTech next year, though that isn't Purecoder, I'm certain it will be just as good.
I think what would be cool would be to have a game we plan on building in the end, and adding to the same file(s) every week and slowly building up to one big game at the end, rather than tons of smaller units and files.
Thanks a lot for a great year in which we covered a lot of content.

I enjoyed my year with fun tech and I will look at what you have next year

Great experience

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

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. The tutor was quite patient and on a couple of instances we were offered extra makeup class to help my son cope. Overall we ...

2020-21 pure code level 3

Oscar has enjoyed the course and we are happy with the progress he has made

A Fun Year

I definitely enjoyed all the lessons this year and will probably be doing them next year and attending the summer camps!

good

this year was very good i dont know what else to say he was a helpfull teacher and i am going to miss him hopfully i will see him again

It was great

I found it hard at first and now its easy and sometimes a little confusing though so that's why I rated it 4 stars and I would like to go to funtech again

Incredibly enjoyable and educational

At times when it is not the FunTech team are very helpful and immediately arrange support sessions to make sure you are on your way.
I'm really glad to have taken this course and learned valuable skills along the way.

purecoder 2 review

i had done some other funtech courses which made school computer science very easy for me, and purecoder 2 has taught me more advanced things. our tutor helped us and stayed after class a bit to make sure we had the code and understood it and taught well.
thank you!

good.

the year at funtech was really beneficial for me. I learnt and spread my understanding of computers and different computer process and what goes on inside of them. it has helped me remember and will be a great impact on me when i do my computer science GCSE's in the future.

Overall, it was good, however, some content may need to be covered slower.

Hamza was a very good teacher in explaining a wide range of things and helping out. I hope he is my teacher next year.

However, there were sometimes issues where the content was covered very quickly, by just showing the video, for which I didn't understand. However, I asked Hamza, and then he walked me through it. I am looking forward to what next year's program is going to be.

this year was very long, but i learned a lot. and having Ethan help with extra courses allowed me to focus on homework and complete all of the work.

good

i enjoyed this year so yeah nothing elso to realy say there, good bye.

funtech was fun i had ups and downs and i would like to learn some new tech stuff like python

hard but fun

Overall, this year with funtech was great i was stuck at times but i picked up and hamza was funny and a good teacher

Amazing year

I quite enjoyed the coding but I don't think I can continuing next year because it's quite expensive but I have learnt all need to which I appreciate.

This year I have found the course to be a lot better structured, which is a significant improvement. I appreciate the repeated checks between videos and mini quizzes to check I understand concepts. However, in the future, I believe that the course would be bettered by having more material for students to look over in their personal time, like a textbook you would have at school to refer to. This would ensure learning as it would allow students to independently look over concepts and consolidate them in their own time, without having to set up a paid consolidation lesson with a tutor every time a problem arises. This would give students more confidence in their lessons, and would provide them with notes to look back to after the course has finished, rather than having to search through - sometimes unannotated - class code.

I have found my 1:1 lessons with Samuel extremely helpful, as I am able to bring up concerns and ask questions immediately, without feeling insecure of peers' judgements. He has been very patient and always answers questions thoroughly, ensuring my understanding. This has been a highly positive change in comparison to some tutors I have had in the past.

I am currently not sure whether I will continue with Funtech next year - though I find the content positively challenging, I acknowledge that I may not have enough time next year to continue the course as I am studying 4 A Levels. Also, I find that though I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons this year, I am not sure as to whether I am willing to gamble my parents' money on lessons next year, as I have not found my previous experiences with Funtech to be fulfilling. However, I will be sure to think over my decision in the coming weeks as I know that I would be interested in taking a STEM subject in university. I very much appreciate Funtech for challenging me in my coding and I am sure that I will continue to further my learning whether or not I decide to stay for another year.

3rd year in Funtech

I like the coding like class like MySQL , Excel and also the HTML programming. But I did not enjoy the Adobe illustrator , animate classes and were not interesting for me.

I loved the photoshop lesson because I loved designing and i even still design on photoshop and have made many wonderful things. My second favourite was Adobe animate loved and sometimes still use it. i would recommend to my friends but I don't if they would like it Thank you for teaching me ...

2D Game Development Course Review

The course was very fun, I enjoyed the Game development and learning to create some games of decent quality. It was often challenging but mostly I managed to understand it all with their help.

Great course. Good teacher.

It was nice to see my video and do my music editing. I really liked making videos. The games was fun and I enjoyed working out the commands.

Amazing

I loved it, I don't have any improvements. It was fun. I love my new game I can share with my friends particularly.

PC 02

The course was quite good overall, there were some easy bits, and some challenging bits. But overall it has helped me learn, and was a very good experience.
The tutors were helpful.

Great course.

I really enjoyed learning how to use Unity for the first time. And I really enjoyed my teacher, which helped me a lot when I had some issues. Now I feel that I can start a project of a game and finish it, making it has I want it.

Great lessons, looking forward for the next new thing to learn.

The course overall is good and teaches you how the elements of a game engine is usually composed of and how to apply the knowledge in different areas. However for what you are getting it doesn't feel sufficient and that is what doesn't really please me as it sometimes feels little for what you get. But most of the time overall the courses do teach stuff and have some examples. But I would like to see some real-life interpretations in what we learn to get an idea of how and what would be useful. Good course and I would recommend it when its improved.
