Study. Prepare. Succeed


About this course

This course leads to a full Pearson Edexcel iGCSE in Computer Science, but its value goes far beyond a single qualification.

Teaching the syllabus is the easy part. The real impact comes from our proven FunTech methodology, which shows your child how to study with efficiency, prepare effectively for and succeed in any GCSE exam setting.

Alongside the full syllabus, your child will learn how to:

  • Break down and understand the syllabus requirements
  • Build a realistic study plan and manage their workload
  • Revise actively, track progress and avoid common errors
  • Use past papers for insight, not just repetition
  • Understand how marks are awarded by the examiner
  • Interpret questions accurately and write for marks
  • Sit exams, with clarity, control and confidence
  • Build habits that support long-term academic success

Our objective is simple: to show your child that success isn’t guesswork, it’s a process. By the end of this course, they won’t just have an iGCSE. They’ll have a method they can apply to every GCSE subject that follows.


What your child will achieve

A full Pearson Edexcel iGCSE in Computer Science

A deep understanding of computing principles and Python programming

A structured approach to studying, revising and sitting exams

The confidence to approach future GCSEs with clarity and discipline


Who This Course is For

We welcome any child with the right foundation who is ready to learn and is committed to doing the work. With that in place, we provide the structure, teaching and support to help them succeed.

We offer two course tracks

  • FastTrack for older or high-performing learners ready to move at pace
  • StandardTrack recommended duration ideal for younger learners or busy schedules

FunTech was founded on the principle that support, and high standards go hand in hand. We adapt our approach where needed, including for children with SEN, without lowering expectations.

Virtual Labs

FunTech Virtual Labs gives your child the freedom to learn cutting-edge coding and tech skills wherever you are.

Our tutors can see your child's screen for the entire lesson, that's why FunTech Virtual Labs are different to the others. It allows tutors to respond immediately if your child needs support, give them a nudge if their attention wanders or set them a new task if they finish ahead of the rest.

 

FAQs

What does a virtual class mean?

A virtual class is a scheduled interactive online lesson delivered by FunTech.

How does the virtual class work?

All students receive a virtual orientation lesson before the start of their course.

For each lesson, your child will receive an email invitation containing a link allowing them to log onto our virtual classroom. We schedule a maximum of four students who are predominately based in the UK, however, a few of our students have moved abroad due to parents work commitments and therefore log in from further afield.

The lessons themselves are the exact same as is delivered in a physical classroom. Through our virtual classroom environment, your child has the option to raise their hand, ask questions and also speak to the other students in their class (though we do have a mute all option '- just in case!)

FunTech teachers are able to pass control of their monitor to an individual student or share it amongst all the students. With permission, we can take control of a students' monitor to demonstrate concepts, share common mistakes or outstanding work as we would in a physical classroom.
