Founder / Director
Dra. Merry Susanti The
Dra. Merry Susanti The started her career in 1979 teaching English from door to door while pursuing her studies in English Education and Teaching at Tanjungpura University. Graduating from the university she was appointed as the university lecturer’s assistant, while still teaching door to door. A few years later, she transferred to Widya Dharma Institute and taught English there for another few years. In 1985 she established her own English course, naming it the ‘Universal English Course’ (UEC) while still teaching at the institute (Widya Dharma). After getting married and having her own family she decided to focus on teaching and developing the UEC alone. Susanti has then been actively teaching English and expanding the course up until now, thus a total of more than 40-year experience.
