To whom it may concern:
I am writing to you with regard to Maria Guryeva who was one of my students in my Spanish 1101
class (Elementary Spanish I) last spring semester 2012 here at Columbia University.
It was truly a pleasure to have Ms. Guryeva in class, as she was an excellent student who always
came to class with a very positive attitude, and performed at a very high level in all the academic
aspects involved in my course. In fact, Ms. Guryeva has been one of the best students I have ever
taught: her writing, speaking, and listening skills are outstanding. Ms. Guryeva is not only a very
intelligent, hard working and diligent student, but also a flexible, mature, and cheerful person who
interacts very well with other students.
I am confident that Ms. Guryeva would be a successful student anywhere as she has already proved
to be that kind of student in Columbia University. Truthfully, I believe Ms. Guryeva would be an
asset to any institution she attended, and for that and all the other above stated reasons I do highly
recommend Ms. Guryeva without any reservations whatsoever: Ms. Guryeva’s optimism,
perseverance and discipline will carry her a very long way.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance in any matter concerning
Ms. Guryeva.
Sincerely,
Francisco Meizoso Columbia University
