When you start on a journey you don’t always know how it’s going to end. When I arrived in Katowice, Poland, last weekend to talk with students and parents at the fabulous Project Travel fair, I didn’t expect to see Maria B. a former summer school student at More Than English: class of 2017 and class of 2018. What a fantastic surprise!
On behalf of all the staff at More Than English, I’d like to thank Maria for all her help doing a brilliant job of helping me to explain summer at More Than English to parents in Katowice. Who better to really explain the benefits of summer school in Ludlow than somebody who came twice?
Polite and professional, Maria, who is still only 17, spoke with parents with great confidence: not surprisingly, perhaps when you consider that Maria, who has C2 level English, did some of the most challenging ‘Get Ahead’ study options at More Than English including Model UN and Business Challenge and is an IB student in Katowice.
It was a real priviledge also at the fair to meet hundreds of students all of whom participated fully in our Model United Nations taster lesson. Thank you also to the team from Project Travel who made all the visiting schools feel so welcome, created such an ambitious event and who always put students first. We love the way you work.
Ukraine
After Poland, I went to Ukraine, and I’d like to thank all the people in the Ukraine who made me feel so welcome.
What’s it like to travel around Kyiv? AMAZING! I especially like the beautiful underground system. This video from The Kyiv Post will give you a flavour of this amazing city. Enjoy it!
As for where next, we’re going to Turkey in April, so watch this space!
