I have been working with Martin and Lisa at the Sheffield South ComputerXplorers group for around 2 years 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.
