More than 120 students of mine have earned International Language Certificates. I have taught more than 1000 students through the 20 years of my teaching career in the Meridian centre.

    Dear Mary! In my view, you are the best teacher in the world. You are gifted and talented and I’ve been really lucky to have studied English with you for more than 18 years. You are so hardworking and creative and it’s your success that such a great number of students have international certificates now and the knowledge you gave us is immense. I am very proud to have been studying with you and even more proud that this wonderful teacher is my mom!
    Your student and daughter Sandy

    Dear Mary!
    I’d like to thank my lucky star for the chance to be your student! You are Teacher of Teachers! (My three high level certificates and the hundreds which belong to your other students confirm it!) Nobody can be better! You’re an enchantress of Language studies! I have never met a more skillful and imaginative person! Your patience, kindness and attitude to people can’t be overestimated! I wish you good luck! Just swim in happiness!
    I love you Mary!
    Eugene.

    Dear Mary,
    A lot of people envy me because I can brag of being your student. Not only did you share your exceptional knowledge of English with me but you also made me believe that there’s nothing impossible in life as long as you dare to try. The shine of your extraordinary personality will stay with me forever. You are the only person who I would turn for advice to as far as my career is concerned (and follow it too :)
    Your Lora

    Mary!
    Thank you from all my heart. Your nature combines tolerance, dedication and love which make a person a great teacher. No other words can describe my appreciation, so I would add only:
    namasté :)

    Dear Mary,

    I would like to join the feelings expressed above and to thank you for the tremendous knowledge I now possess! I believe that I benefited immensely from our classes by opening my mind to new ideas and cultures, let alone four international certificates that I hold. I deeply regret the fact that we cannot continue our studies, but I am absolutely sure that we’ll always be one big family :)
    No other teacher can compare to your expertise and great heart!

    Dear Mary,
    You are perfect just because you are.
    Thank you for the possibility to meet you in this life.
    You reversed my attitude toward women and of course to English.
    I am fortunate that we are going the same direction!
    I wish you the light and happy Way of the heart.

    Dear Mary,
    To my mind, not only are you the best teacher in the world, but you are an absolutely super-duper, brilliant woman and a miraculous friend. I am blue without our classes, without their atmosphere of holiday.
    I love you very much!
    See you soon:)

    Mary!
    Thank you very much.

    A summary for impatient, for those who’re not willing to read to the very end :
    - YOU’re superb
    - WE’ve managed it!

    For others:
    I couldn’t imagine myself dealing with our English-speaking friends and partners as easily as I did with Russians, but… nowadays I feel absolutely fluent wherever I am and whatever I do. OPEN WORLD – that is what you’ve presented to us, and this is what we are grateful to you for.

    I miss our Days Of English! It was not ‘studying’ as one would call it, but moments of joy and pleasure. And there was something personal presented on the top of all.

    Good luck and… we all hope to renew our ‘squeeze’ one day!

    Dear Mary,
    First of all – Happy New Year!
    Thanks for everything. You are one of the persons responsible:-) for what I am now. At the moment I am a member of the international crew of the brand new vessel “BBC ELBE”,which is making her maiden voyage, under the command of the German captain. English (not brilliant at times) is as normal for me as breathing.
    Unfortunately as soon as you left I dropped the classes. Shame on me. It’s all the career but I like it. I’m so grateful for your efforts.
    Hope to see you when I am in California.
    All the best.
