Introduction
I have been teaching Business English, Presentation Skills, and English for Tourism since 2015 as a full-time teacher at the Department of Languages for Business Communication.
I started my career in 1993 as a teacher of English and Hungarian at Lónyay Reformed Secondary School, where I spent four years as a form-teacher as well.
Later I was working as an assistant researcher at the Research Centre for Hermeneutics affiliated with Károli Gáspár Reformed University.
At the same time I was working as a freelance teacher in private language schools. Beside teaching general English, I was teaching English for Engineering, HR, and Hungarian as a foreign language for diplomats and businesspeople.
My students ranged from factory workers to middle- and top-managers. The experience I gained from the in-company courses proved to be immensely valuable when I started teaching students, the top- and middle-managers of the future.
Being interested in the theoretical background besides the practical and methodological aspects of teaching, I enrolled for the ELTE Doctoral School of Language Pedagogy. I finished my studies in 2015.
I am an active participants of national and international conferences.
