Ms. Walsh, his English teacher, gives her first impressions of Atsuya ”He is patient and brave for jumping into a virtual English class.   He has made some immediate connections with other Japanese students who have been able to help him. So far he is quiet but is clearly able to follow what is going on and is increasing his comprehension quickly. He is also participating when asked to do so”.
