Review of a "Python coder - Part 1" online summer course
My son took this course in order to fill in some gaps in his knowledge of Python fundamentals as he had missed some Computing classes at school and he had not been given any homework to do in terms of coding. He liked the teacher and the structure of each lesson. What he particularly liked were the challenges in each lesson as he likes to problem-solve and use his knowledge in practical ways. This was a very worthwhile course in that it was a lot of fun and built his confidence in computing. He is looking forward to doing another Python course with FunTech.

Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear your son enjoyed the Python Coder course.
It’s great to hear the course helped build his confidence in computing while filling in some of those gaps in his Python knowledge. We’d love to welcome him back for another Python course in the future!

Excellent course
My son has just completed the 3D game design course. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and has been inspired to go off and use the new skills on his own. The tutor was great, very patient and helpful and made my son feel at ease. We have used FunTech a few times over the last few years and would highly recommend them.

Optimal teaching and comfortable facilities
The teaching is absolutely optimal: there is a first class individual follow-up and the classes combine very well theory and practice. Excellent for an efficient and effective learning.
On top of that, the facilities are very comfortable and the food is very good.

Python Coder in person course
My daughter attended the in-person week long Python - Coder course at Victoria and really enjoyed it. She felt the course instructors were very skilled and kept the course fun for everyone. They quickly adapted the course to each person's skill level.
She was very enthusastic about practicing the skills she learnt. Would definitely recommend the course to other people.

Thank you for the lovely review. It's great to hear your daughter had a great time at the Westminster Python Coder camp.
Our tutors work hard to keep lessons engaging while adapting the teaching and challenges to each child, so it's lovely to hear that this stood out to her. Even better that she came away so enthusiastic about practising her new Python skills at home!

Excellent (Python OOP residential camp)
Funtech residential camp is the only thing I’ve been hearing from my daughter about since her return. She is already planning her next year’s camps and wants to attend 2. The staff and peers were very fun and friendly. My daughter goes to girls’ school and has a pretty shy personality. She was very nervous about boys and whether she can make any friends at all. It was not the case. By the end of the camp she even stopped calling me, because she was too busy with her own social life :)

Thank you for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear how much your daughter enjoyed the residential experience, both the Python OOP course and the social side of the week.
We know that staying away from home and joining a new group can feel daunting, especially for quieter or more reserved children. Our team takes great care to help everyone settle in, make friends and feel part of the group right from the start, so we're especially pleased that she felt so comfortable and had such a good time that she was soon too busy to call home!
We look forward to welcoming her back for those two camps next year.
Warmest wishes,
The FunTech Team

Fun and inspiring as usual!
This is my daughter’s fourth time participating in a Funtech course. This time round, the Lego Robotics camp. She found it engaging, a little challenging at times, but by the end of the week she was executing her programmes with gusto, getting her robot to twirl, write her initials and navigate a maze. As always, the teachers were patient and knowledgeable and bonded easily with the kids. So much so they were chatting to them like friends by the end of the week. Thoroughly recommend this course. We hope to return next summer.

Fantastic week doing the hackathon course! My son had the best time, he made friends, worked as a team and learned a lot! Not normally one to love a summer camp, he was setting his clothes out the night before so he wouldn’t be late! Total result.

Fantastic support and scheduling for non-native English speakers
We are about to start our daughter’s third year with FunTech this September, and as parents, we couldn’t be happier. Month by month, we’ve watched her interest and curiosity for all the subjects covered grow exponentially.
The way programming is tailored specifically for kids has completely removed the initial performance anxiety she felt, keeping her more and more engaged with every lesson.
Our daughter is Italian, lives in Italy, and is a native Italian speaker. Despite this, FunTech has been fantastic at providing time slots that fit perfectly with Italian school hours and holidays. On top of that, their tutors have been incredibly supportive whenever she felt unsure or had doubts about understanding certain topics.
We highly recommend them!

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It has been a real pleasure watching your daughter’s confidence, curiosity and enjoyment of programming grow over the past two years.
We’re also pleased that the lessons have worked so well around your family’s schedule in Italy, and that her tutors have been able to give her the additional support she has needed along the way.
We’re looking forward to welcoming her back for her third year and seeing what she achieves next.
Very good platform for learning to code.
Programs are well structured. Good cadence. Good support framework at both professionally and administratively. Good balance between letting the child self manage and drive forward and take responsibility, but also keeping the parents involved and updated so that they can monitor progress. The one area I would recommend improving is making sure that the parents occasionally get concrete outputs or deliverables from the child's work to understand what has been accomplished and what is being learned.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It has been a pleasure to support your son’s coding journey and see his confidence continue to grow over the years.
Your suggestion about sharing more concrete outputs with parents is very helpful. Our location camps include a show-and-tell element, and your feedback has encouraged us to explore how we can introduce something similar for our term-time programmes.
In the meantime, we are always happy to discuss progress and explain exactly what is being covered anytime, including arranging video sessions to share and talk through students’ work with parents where helpful.
Thank you again for your continued trust over the years and for taking the time to leave a review.
Warmest wishes,

Funtech Python Coder
We couldn’t be happier with the Python coding course at Funtech. My son has absolutely loved it from start to finish. Every break, he’s been bouncing out full of excitement, and at the end of each day he’s genuinely been sad that it was over - which says a lot, especially given the hours are longer than a typical school day!
What’s really stood out is how engaged he’s been. He’s loved all of the projects and has been so motivated to keep going that I’ve actually had to drag him out for walks just to get him off his screen - otherwise he’d happily spend the whole evening continuing what he started in class.
Not only has he had a fantastic time, but he’s clearly learnt a huge amount too. His confidence has grown, and he’s been excited to talk through what he’s built and how it works.
A special mention to his tutor, Hope, who was exceptional - clearly inspiring, supportive, and brilliant at keeping the students engaged throughout.
A brilliant course that manages to be both educational and genuinely fun, highly recommend and he is excited for the next two, we wish he could do the next one in May and not wait until August!

It is wonderful to hear how much your son enjoyed the Python Coder course, especially that he was so eager to continue working on his projects even after the day finished. That kind of enthusiasm is always fantastic to see.
We are also really pleased to hear how confidently he has been explaining the programs he built and how they work. It is great when students feel proud to talk through the ideas behind what they have created.
Thank you as well for your kind words about Hope. We will be sure to share your feedback with her.
It is lovely to hear he is already excited about the next courses, and we look forward to welcoming him back soon.

FunTech is Outstanding
I have been a customer with FunTech since 2020 starting out with their virtual camps during the pandemic. The quality was second to none and had my two eldest boys engaged for hours on end despite their young ages at the time.
We subsequently enrolled them on to their term-time product where they have been steadily progressing through their learning pathway. We have always found FunTech's approach to be thorough with a clear focus on making sure our kids understand topics thoroughly. If they were ever struggling then extra sessions were offered ensuring that they never got overwhelmed.
The foundation that FunTech has provided is perfect for our our eldest boy who is now taking a GCSE in computer science at school and in his words "making it a breeze".
Our youngest twins are now getting to the age where they are ready to start their journey and we'd recommend FunTech to anyone.

Thank you for your lovely review. It has been an absolute pleasure supporting your family over the years.
We still remember your boys starting with us during the virtual camps in 2020, and it has been incredible to watch their journey since then. Seeing them progress so confidently through their learning paths, and now hearing that your eldest is finding his GCSE Computer Science “a breeze,” is exactly the kind of outcome we strive for. He has worked so hard, and we are honoured to have played a part in his success.
Our team is already looking forward to welcoming the twins when they are ready. We know they will bring the same enthusiasm and curiosity.
Thank you again for your kind words and your continued trust. It truly means a great deal to all of us at FunTech.

Great jump into Python
hi team,
I dont have much first hand experience of the course (!), but I asked my son and he said he enjoyed it. He said his teacher was great. He is Year 9 and he said the content was too easy, slow pace, but I think in reality it was the right starting point for him and a good space to jump in (as well as what he covers in school). We intend to put him into the advanced course some time later this year.
Thanks very much.

Thank you so much for sharing this - it really means a lot to us. We’re so pleased to hear that your son enjoyed the course and felt well supported by his teacher.
For students who have already done a bit of Python at school, the early content can sometimes feel familiar. We start with core skills to ensure a strong foundation, so students feel secure and ready for the more challenging material that follows. Your son picked things up incredibly quickly, and his tutor genuinely loved teaching him. To help him stay stretched and make the most of his lesson time, we added some extension activities whenever he raced ahead, and he handled them brilliantly.
Our bitesize approach is designed to build confidence step by step, so it’s wonderful to hear that he finished the course feeling assured in what he’d learned.
It sounds as though he used the starting point exactly as intended, and we’re delighted that it has given him such a solid platform alongside his school work. We’re really looking forward to continuing his coding journey with him. If you ever need any guidance on the best next step, we’re always here and very happy to help.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback.
Warmest wishes,

A year ago I would of given 5 stars
This company used to be excellent, excellent admin, tutors and lucaz was amazing. I don’t know if management has changed but they just don’t seem to care about loyal customers. I have been trying to book some missed sessions But seem to leave message upon message with no response. I find it incredibly frustrating as we have done a few term time courses. Having written this review the owner called me and apologised which was great to finally get the personal touch. She will investigate how I fell through the net, and kindly refunded the catch up lessons which was above what I expected so thank you.

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!

Awful administration, lessons missing from portal
Awful administration. We paid for extra lessons so he could join the course part way through the year, the lessons login regularly didn't appear in the portal so we were always chasing him, he was supposed to get the same tutor every time - he didn't. I was going to enrol him on this years course, but there was an extra £300 added to the bill, i went through their awful online portal to try and remove it but you were through the logon process with the £300 plus a £50 enrolment fee. I don't have time to be constantly chasing them for their poor administration so I cancelled the course. They are still emailing me with the wrong amount for the course saying they are going to take payment by direct debit, for a new incorrect amount, despite having cancelled once already. The lessons are only 50 minutes, they often don't start on time as they're waiting for the other kids to join, but they finish bang on or earlier than the 50 mins allocated. The instructors are nice enough, but everything about the service and the administration is tedious and unacceptable.
My son also did a minecraft course which was ok, there were a lot of technical problems despite having done the technical set up beforehand and in the end he had to switch onto my husbands machine at work to do it.
** Re your reply of 28.09 My son did not do lessons for the year, he only did them for a term, so three lessons out of a term is still not a good rate. To say all the lessons started on time is a lie, I was sat next to ted one day when they were all waiting for 10 minutes for the other children to arrive. The lesson finished bang on time, despite being 40 minutes long. This is another example of your poor administration and communication. I note you've failed to address my other points, in particular the login that we had to chase regularly because there wasn't a lesson to log into. It was no glitch, it was sloppy, poor administration and relied on the parents chasing you on phone and message to get access the lessons we'd paid for. Everything about your portal is poor, you can't even change "optional extras", it simply confirms your booking without giving you the option to change or decline it.

Dear Mrs Clark.
Firstly, I am sorry to hear you have had such a frustrating experience with FunTech.
We aim to ensure every customer receives the best service, however, as with all things, very occasionally we do get it wrong - for which I am truly sorry.
To address each of your points below: -
INCORRECT FEES
You are absolutely right on this point - an incorrect date was entered on our system which showed the payment required for the previous year. This has now been updated. I believe our enrolments manager did send you an email clarifying the payment together with an updated invoice.
SAME TUTOR
All your son's one-to-one lessons prior to joining the group class were taken by the same tutor.
When your son joined the group classes, of course the tutor changes and the same tutor is scheduled for the entire course. The only exception would be if the tutor is unwell, and with Covid, sadly we had a few more than we ordinarily do.
START & END TIME
All students are given an exercise when they join their session, which I am assuming you are saying did not happen? I shall investigate class start and end times further and come back to you.
TECHNICAL SETUP
This is a free of charge technical check service that we offer, for parents who would like some additional support. However, please note we cannot foresee all potential challenges that may occur during the course, for example fluctuation of Internet speeds, or challenges on the device's processing power.
However, I want to assure you that we do take it very seriously when we do not get things right and will investigate the class times and come back to you.
***DATE: 28-09-21***
We have tried to contact you several times via voicemail, text and email.
Could you please contact FunTech at your earliest convenience.
