Testimonials

I thank you for the English lessons, gardening lessons, astrophysics seminar listener, plants history lessons, psychology lessons, education lessons and New Zealand lifestyle lessons.

Jean Paul

I have had Mary as my tutor for approximately six months. I have found her to be very professional. She makes the lessons interesting and at a level I can cope with. We always have fun and this encourages me to learn more . My English is much better than before and I look forward to each lesson. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone wanting to improve their English.

Kai Macao

I have been studying with Mary since last year and I am enjoying it very much. I have been gaining from Mary not only English but the cultures, the way of local’s living, thinking and acting which I think is more important than the language itself. Mary’s teaching is always full of happiness and laughter in which I have been staying so confidently.

Qiang

Tailored Training for my Continuous Improvements. I came to New Zealand when I was a teenager and have been living here for almost half my life. My English is good enough to get me the degree, job and friends. But the obstacles always exist when it comes to the in-depth communications due to both confidence and ability issues. I came to Mary with the goal of being able to articulate anything I want to express. Mary assessed my overall language skill and tailored a training programme to fit my needs and level. What truly impressed me is that she focused on teaching the rhymes, micro pauses and sentence structures; the things I missed in the primary school and intermediate rather than diving deeper into the grammar etc. After almost a year of training with Mary for one hour a week, I am more confident and fluent with the complex situations.

Manuel

Mary is teaching my partner who is from a non-English speaking country. Currently we are taking one lesson a week one-to-one. My partner says she is very happy we found Mary because her teaching really works and she keeps her lessons interesting and enjoyable. I can confirm that my partner always comes back home from Mary’s lessons charged with a new extra portion of English fluency which is exactly what we want.
