I am a 39 years-old woman from Southern Hungary - from a little town called Mohács.

I have been teaching for 14 years. I have been teaching Hungarian for 15 years.

I started to teach Hungarian online at the end of 2009-beginning of 2010. I gained my diplomas in Russian and Polish, but the fact is that my PhD studies were all about the Hungarian language. While I was abroad on scholarships, I met students at the faculty of Hungarology and although I was a practicing teacher at the University of Warsaw and was teaching Polish grammar to the Polish (sounds interesting, huh? Cool yes, it was), I enjoyed the new challenge. I visited their classes to do my own researches about the relation between morphological awareness of the mother tongue and learning a foreign language (theme of my dissertation), and University teachers of Hungarian as a foreign language asked me if I could help them on their lessons. I said yes, of course! Then some Polish people asked me if I could teach them and I was happy to start helping them. Well, that is where and how it all started.

All lessons are learner-specific, tailored to your needs.

I offer you plenty of materials chosen from different books and those assembled by myself. All materials are provided, so you do not need to buy anything! You have to invest only in your online lessons. Some hours before the lessons you receive your materials into your mail inbox. You can print it if you want or simply open the files during the lessons. Everyone receives his/her own material, there are no 2 lessons the same! Also it is impossible to set up a whole plan for the language course several weeks ahead, because the plans may be changing according to your special needs, problems that might occur and questions you might ask about the language.

Every time we start with a little conversation (well, it depends on your level, first we may only be able to ask each other "How are you?"), then we check homework (some language learners prefer not to have so many ex3cises for homework, while others like working on the material after the lessons - you can have your own choice, it depends on you). After this we start working on the new material.

During the whole lesson I type words and phrases into the skype message box. So you do not need to write anything. Let us not waste our time with writing! :) It is very important, that in the lessons we speak Hungarian as much as possible. New words, phrases and sentences the learner might not understand are explained in Hungarian and not in English. English language is used only with beginners.

I adapt every lesson to my student's needs! You can always ask me to learn about a specific material that you are interested in or to practise grammar rules that you feel uncertain about. I am flexible and we can use the kind of method that you are used to or if you have no special questions or needs we can learn the way I plan it which is good, trust me :)
