"I’m writing to say a heartfelt thank you for your recent visit to our son’s primary school. My son attended your session, and I can’t tell you what a difference it made. He is mildly autistic and doesn’t usually enjoy school, but he came home absolutely buzzing about your visit. He described an ‘arcade type computer programming exercise’ and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Seeing him so happy and engaged with something at school was genuinely wonderful for us as a family. Thank you again for sparking something special in him. Whoever led the session clearly has a real gift for engaging children. With warm thanks."
"An amazing team! Our child not only learned so much but also had great fun throughout the entire lessons/seasons. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication so far, we truly appreciate everything you’ve done."
"My son always finds the Minecraft sessions fun and engaging. The instructor, Martin, is friendly, welcoming and supportive of neurodiverse kids. Highly recommended!"
"My daughters absolutely love coming to both the after-school clubs and holiday clubs. There’s a variety of different topics each term with hands-on activities like coding and robotics which definitely engage my children as they come out of the sessions excited about what they’ve learned. Martin is very patient and takes his time explaining the activities to the children. Martin also fills parents in with what they’ve been learning when we come to pick up. Overall, it’s a fantastic club and I would 100% recommend!"
"I have to say I don't quite know what to say about Martin and Lisa and the gang at ComputerXplorers...my son started going to their Woodhouse classes some years ago, when I booked him in in desperation after he had not left the house for 18 months and wasn't in school. He walked in with me, told me to leave and he has been there every single week since (doing 2 classes back-to-back!). Martin has taught him so much, and my son can work under his own steam and pace and is bringing tasks home to complete and adores Martin - who is just amazing with him. I can't say enough good things about the classes they provide, from content to support to small class size environment - everything is perfect and they really know what they are doing! Thank you, Martin and Lisa for everything."
"My child has attended multiple sessions held by this provider; Academy, Home Ed, Minecraft, and Holiday Camps. Each session is well executed and engages my child on a weekly basis building on their knowledge, strength and understanding to progress each week, bringing out the potential in my child to a high standard and giving them the confidence to excel further. The longer sessions such as the Holiday Camps are broken up with various activities to give the children’s eyes a rest from the screens, including taking them outside for fresh air to the local park, where appropriate. They walk them with high vis jackets and also encourage hand washing after park visits, and before eating. Their keen eye for safety and hygiene hasn’t gone unnoticed by this appreciative Mamma! Both Martin & Lisa are fantastic and we are very fortunate to have found this excellent provider."
"Absolutely recommended! My son is loving this and although we have to travel a little far it is well worth it. Thank you."
"Martin and Lisa are very approachable, and my boy feels very comfortable with them to have fun and ask for advice. The sessions are well run and interesting. My boy is always excited to go. So much so he now attends 3 classes."
"I can't praise this club enough, it's very well run, the kids are really enjoying it and the teacher, Martin is great with the kids, very relaxed atmosphere. My grandson has really gained confidence since going and made some new friends, I've booked a second block of lessons for him. I would highly recommend."
"A fantastic opportunity for all children to attend. My children look forward to their class every week and have so much fun learning something new with Martin. I definitely recommend these classes."
"My daughter loves this club! There’s always something engaging and fun to learn, and lots of digital resources to enjoy at home too. All staff are lovely and very good at what they do!"
"I have worked with ComputerXplorers Sheffield since March 2022, delivering after-school clubs and also holiday activities. Lisa and Martin have delivered after-school clubs in over 20 different schools across our MAT and have always provided a brilliant service and overall experience for the children. They check in with schools before week 1 to make sure all is ready and everyone prepared, and then deliver a fantastic enriching club for the students involved. The activities are inclusive, fun, interesting and teach children a range of skills that help their personal development and future aspirations. I will certainly continue to work with ComputerXplorers and look forward to offering the activities to more schools."
"Saturday is the one morning of the week my son doesn’t struggle to get out of bed! He can’t wait to get to Minecraft with ComputerXplorers in Woodhouse."
"I have been working with Martin and Lisa at the Sheffield ComputerXplorers group since August 2022 and it’s been a positive experience overall. They are both really helpful, non-judgemental and, largely, let me crack on with it whilst always being available for any questions I may have. I teach 3 groups per week who each have their own interesting traits and what one group will like the next one won’t etc so you’re always kept on your toes. The sessions tend to pass really quickly as you are, usually, just answering questions about new things the kids are trying and trying to resolve them for them. The groups are generally well behaved and interested in what we are doing. Bloxels is probably the topic I find easiest and most fun to teach as it has such a large scope and each child tends to find the bits they like the best."
