Key take aways

Hope enjoys the flexibility of UKVS.  She engages in many activities during the daytime hours, and fits her lessons around her weekly activities, which include Rhythmic Gymnastics, helping out at a local Farm and Horse Riding.
The laid back teaching methods of the UKVS teachers really suit Hope.  She didn't used to engage with English at all, but after she was encouraged to write a story about Volcanoes, English is her favourite subject.  She's even setting about writing a (MASSIVE) book in her own time!
Hope is finding it much easier to be heard in the smaller online class sizes.  If she has a question for the teacher, she uses the chat box, and knows it will be answered at a suitable time.  She feels the teachers have more time to help her and focus on her needs.
