I'm a highly qualified and experienced translator and a language teacher for German and Hungarian. I have taught both in the private sector and in numerous
language schools, adults and children of different ages. I can offer Hungarian to university level, for this is my mother-tounge, and German to B1 level since I live and work in Vienna for
more than 20 years now. I came here to study and made my Bachelor degree in Transcultural Communication and a Master degree in Translation and Terminology
Sciences at the University of Vienna, then settled down with a good man and built a family.
I also have a teaching qualification for 'German as a Foreign Language' from the University of Kassel in Germany, and a didactic training on the renowned BERLITZ-method for 'Native Speaker
Language Teachers'. Usually I work from home, where I have a vast library of teaching resources (worksheets, textbooks, picture dictionaries, flash-cards, games)
and lots of books for Beginners with Hungarian-German-English parallel texts, short stories for Easy Readers etc.
Being a translator and a polyglott enables me to see languages and their grammar systems from a different angle than 'regular' Hungarian native speakers or school teachers. Based on my
training and my regional expertise I also provide a variety of language support services for Hungarian.
I use varying tutoring approaches, because no two learners are alike, whereby enjoyment is an important factor in my lessons. I very much like to use the latest technology and teaching
techniques, but also have an extensive compilation of Hungarian language games, cards, songs, short stories, videos. Hungarian can be an extremely challenging language and as an experienced
tutor I really can help you learning it.
Tutoring approach
Usually I work from home, where I have a vast library of relevant resources, but I also have various in-house Hungarian courses for companies in Vienna and an increasing number of online classes for Hungarian. I very much like to use songs, stories, videos and the internet to teach my languages, then I do
believe that learning Hungarian can be fun. Check out the links about learning Hungarian!
Since no two learners are alike, I use different didactic approach whereby enjoyment is a very important factor in my lessons. I aim to foster a friendly but professional relationship with
each of my students, to build their confidence and self belief when they learn a new language. Due to that I have a large number of loyal costumers, and my services for language-related
issues are often recommended by my students.
My Hungarian lessons involve paying particular attention to the everyday vocabulary, focusing on the most important Hungarian grammar, but not too excessively,
providing good practice in everyday Hungarian. I'll patiently work alongside you at the speed that works for you best. In the first lesson we'll analyse your needs, noting your strengths and
weaknesses. If you need help with any particular area of difficulty, we can focus on them of course and practice specific skills or vocabulary of your choice.
For your orientation: Beginners in private Hungarian courses in 1:1 language lessons need usually 40-50 lessons for basic language knowledge,
respective level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It will take approx. another 40-50 lessons to reach the intermediate level B2.
Organization: The Hungarian lessons can be 60, 90 or 120 minutes in length according to your preferences and your schedule. You can also bring your colleague, friend or
spouse and take semi-private lessons in our home-office in Vienna, or join me for a walk in Vienna city center.
Home tutoring at your place or in-house trainings at your company are also possible by agreement, please ask for an individual price offer. Online lessons are also avalaible.
How to cancel a lesson: Even though we can arrange your lessons at short notice, I usually require 3-4 days in advance to book your lesson at
your preferred time. If you can't attend the lesson, I need you to cancel our appointment in time and give me notice at least till 12:00 on the previous day. Otherwise I'll have to charge
100% of the lesson fee, since I reserved that time slot for you and can not rearrange my day on such a short notice. Thank you.
