Peter Kapitsa has wonderful words: "Science should be kind, fun, fascinating, just like scientists themselves." I am deeply convinced that Sautova Tokzhan Aidarkhanovna belongs to such people. The word "constancy" is for this woman defining her life as a whole. It should be noted that being a teacher has always been an honor, but being a teacher is not given to everyone. Being a teacher is a lot of work, because throughout life a teacher constantly improves and multiplies knowledge, passing it on to more than one generation of students, bearing responsibility for the future fate of his pupils and the level of their professionalism.
