Introduction
I have tried myself in most areas of language teaching during my career. I was a secondary school language teacher for years and later I taught students at ZSKF, ELTE and then BGE in higher education.
During this time, I also worked for many language schools, where, in addition to corporate education, I was also able prove myself at education management as head of German language teachers at one of the largest language schools in the country, the Katedra Language School, for seven years.
On behalf of the Munich-based textbook publisher Hueber, I worked as a methodological consultant for 3 years for the six-volume language book family, Schritte Neu.
I’ve been a mountain bike racer for three decades, with a number of podium finishes and championship titles behind me in a variety of disciplines. For 20 years, I have been using my experience in competitions as a journalist, tester and photographer for several mountain bike magazines. In the autumn of 2019 I started doing linguistic research at the Doctoral School of Eötvös Loránd University in the field of professional languages, including the German mountain bike professional language.
In my language lessons I always try to create a good atmosphere, to entertain, and to teach with the minimum necessary grammar by putting communication and culture first.
