Hello! I was very happy with my a1 and a2 levels with UVA and without any hesitation took another course (b1) but was really frustrated with my course (teacher particularly). Basically I come to the lesson and do nothing except of going through the book just doing exercises that I can do by myself without taking that course. In past 2 levels I was having conversations with my classmates, was answering questions, interacting, I really saw progress, I loved my teachers and once again was convinced how important the role of a teacher is. But now all I know about my classmates it's their names, we barely talk during the lesson, have only 10 min per lesson on working in groups. I think that my speaking skills became worse than it was on level A1. I'm coming to the lesson just because I have paid my money and don't want to waste them completely, but I have no desire to continue with UVA courses because there is absolutely no difference between me buying that book and going through by myself and having a lesson.
