When I was working on an ESL program for Russian teachers, I immediately thought of Marike when I had to find someone for the teacher training. Marike was a logical choice due to her groundbreaking approach to ESL teaching, or as she calls it, "coaching." The Russian teachers wanted to learn ESL for business and technology and Marike's focus on top-notch personalized and customized instruction really was instrumental for the success of the program.
