WHAT I TEACH
Lessons shaped around
your goal
An exam date on the calendar, a school report to turn around, or simply wanting to speak without freezing — we start from wherever you are now.
Language Exam Preparation
Focused preparation for accredited B2 and C1 exams. We work through every task type — reading, listening, writing and speaking — until the format itself holds no surprises on exam day.
Matura Exam Preparation
Preparation for the Hungarian school-leaving exam (érettségi) at intermediate and advanced level, matched to the current requirements and the parts students lose the most marks on.
English for Children
Playful, patient lessons that build a real foundation. Games, stories and songs rather than grammar drills — so children stay curious instead of learning to dread English.
Conversational English for Adults
For adults who understand far more than they dare to say. Structured speaking practice that turns passive knowledge into confidence at work, while travelling, and in everyday conversation.
WHY LEARN WITH ME
What a lesson with me
actually looks like
No coursebook marathons and no being talked at for an hour. Here is what you can expect instead.
01
The whole hour is yours
One-to-one means a mistake gets noticed and fixed the moment it happens, instead of going unheard in a room of thirty.
02
Materials built around you
Your exam, your job, your interests. I put the tasks together for you rather than working page by page through a book you did not choose.
03
You always know where you stand
After each block we look at what improved, what still wobbles, and what we tackle next. No vague reassurance.
04
A safe place to be wrong
Speaking only improves when fumbling feels fine. No sighing, no eye-rolling, no corrections that make you want to stop talking.
You don’t need to be fluent to start.
You need to start to become fluent.
Most people who come to me can already read and understand a great deal. What is missing is the practice of using it out loud, with someone who does not flinch at a mistake.
ABOUT ME
Learning a language should feel like
progress, not pressure
Language has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. I started out in translation — taking meaning apart in one language and rebuilding it in another — and that is still how I think about English today.
From there I moved into the classroom, teaching English at an international school to students aged 3 to 16, working in the spirit of the IEYC — the International Early Years Curriculum — where lessons are built around themes, questions and curiosity rather than the pages of a book. Along the way I earned my CELTA, Cambridge’s Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults.
That mix is what you get in a lesson: a translator’s eye for why a sentence goes wrong, and a classroom teacher’s instinct for keeping it enjoyable enough that you come back next week.
Lessons run one-to-one, in blocks we agree on together, with all the materials put together by me.

METHOD
The way
I teach
Three strands feed into every lesson: a translator’s habits, an international classroom, and the conviction that a language is learned by using it — not by storing it for later.
01
We start from meaning, not from rules
A lesson begins with something you actually want to say or understand. The grammar arrives attached to it — which is the order your memory keeps it in.
02
A translator’s eye for why it goes wrong
Working in translation taught me where Hungarian and English pull in different directions. When a sentence sounds off, I can usually name the habit from your first language that caused it — far more useful than “it just sounds better this way”.
03
Themes, not pages
Straight out of the IEYC classroom: lessons organised around a topic or a question, so words and structures arrive in a context you can hang them on. It works for a seven-year-old, and it works just as well for an adult preparing for C1.
04
You speak from the first lesson
Waiting until you feel ready is how people stay quiet for years. We start talking immediately, at whatever level you are now, and build accuracy on top of the habit rather than the other way round.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no surprises
01
You write to me
Tell me what you want to reach and roughly where you are now. Nothing is committed at this point — it is just a conversation.
02
We map it out
In the first lesson we look at your level properly and agree on a goal, a rhythm, and what we tackle first.
03
We work through it
Regular lessons with materials made for you, and a check after each block on what improved and what comes next.
PACKAGES
Simple, honest pricing
Every learner is different, so if none of these quite fits, just ask and we will put something together.
Single Lesson
€25
/ 60 minutes
Good for trying things out, or for an occasional session when something specific comes up.
MOST CHOSEN
10-Lesson Block
€225
€225
The usual choice. Long enough to build a habit and see real movement, booked at a steadier rate.
Exam Intensive
€30
/ 60 minutes, tailored plan
A concentrated run-up to a fixed exam date, with mock tasks and focused feedback between lessons.
All materials are included. Lessons can be moved if you let me know at least 24 hours in advance. Not sure which one fits? Write to me and we will work it out together.
QUESTIONS
The things people ask me first
How do we actually start?
You write to me and tell me what you want to get to and roughly where you are now. We book a first lesson, use it to look at your level properly, and agree on a plan from there. Nothing is committed before that conversation.
How long does it take to reach a B2 exam?
Honestly, it depends entirely on where you start and how much you can practise between lessons. Anyone who gives you a fixed number before meeting you is guessing. After the first lesson I can give you a realistic estimate and we plan backwards from your exam date.
My child loses interest after ten minutes. Will this work?
That is normal, and it is usually a sign the material is wrong rather than the child. With younger learners I work in short, changing activities — games, stories, movement — so the hour never sits still long enough to get boring.
I studied English for years but I freeze when I have to speak.
This is the most common thing I hear, and it is rarely a knowledge problem. You already know more than you can reach under pressure. We work on getting it out: speaking early, speaking often, and making mistakes a normal part of the lesson rather than something to dread.
Do I need to buy a coursebook?
No. I put the materials together around what you need, and they are included in the lesson price.
What if I have to cancel a lesson?
Let me know at least 24 hours beforehand and we simply move it to another time.
