Faculty of Commerce, Hospitality and Tourism

After graduating from Eötvös Loránd University in German language and literature (1997) and history (1999) I got first experiences in the field of tertiary education at Eötvös Loránd University and after that I worked as a German teacher at Veres Pálné Gimnázium. 1998-2007 I took part in the development of the new German secondary school-leaving examination at Országos Közoktatási Intézet. At that time my research interests included the measuring of productive skills. In February 2008 I successfully defended my PhD dissertation at the ELTE Doctoral School of Education. My PhD research focused on the language knowledge required for further study at higher education institutions. I started working as a lecturer at BUEB in 2009 at the Department of Languages for Business Communication and I delivered courses on Business German, German for Tourism and Research Methods. Since 2024 I have been working as a college associate professor at the Department of Pedagogy and have taught courses on Study skills, Business coaching, Project management and Research Methods. My recent research interests include autonomous language learning, cooperative learning, alternative assessment and language coaching. I am a member of EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council.
