“Marija gave an inspiring and motivational speech about her own experience learning and using Serbian and Italian. She also presented prizes to the award winners and ensured she gave her own personal message of congratulations to each student as she shook their hand. Prior to the event we found her charming, obliging, very easy to liaise with, and prompt in responding. At the event, she arrived well in time and presented elegantly. The feedback we received from our staff, students and parents on Marija’s speech was overwhelmingly positive. Her carefully chosen words had a real impact on them, and they still remember them 15 months later." School of Languages
