What Our Customers Say
“ComputerXplorers classes are fun with a capital ‘F’ and the pupils really look forward to them. The feedback from teachers is really positive and the children are improving their ICT, maths and problem-solving skills at the same time.”
Head Teacher, Middle Barton School, Oxfordshire
“We are delighted with the progress our children have made through attending ComputerXplorers regularly. They delight in their own achievements and we feel that the excellent input and encouragement they are receiving will stand them in very good stead for a future in which computer technology will be second nature to them.”
Pre-school Proprietor
“ComputerXplorers has been well received by those pupils who participate on a weekly basis. Through a range of interesting and fun activities the children learn and develop their skills in ICT and enjoy the challenge of working with new programmes that are not included in the regular curriculum. The ComputerXplorers staff are very supportive and interested in the children’s development.”
Tony Shrubsall, Head Teacher, St John’s College Lower School, Portsmouth
“I am absolutely thrilled with the progress my daughter has made learning to touch type with ComputerXplorers. In a short period of time she has successfully developed a life skill that I consider is essential for her to have.”
