Hi, I'm Zoli — an Australian-Hungarian film and TV producer with 20+ years of international experience. English is my working language. I use it every day for contracts, pitches, negotiations, and collaborations with teams around the world. I'm not a traditional teacher. I offer real, natural conversation with someone who has actually lived and worked internationally for decades — and I'm genuinely curious about the people I talk to. Great for professionals who need confident business English, creative people wanting to pitch ideas clearly, or anyone preparing for international work. Let's talk. That's where the real learning happens.

Me as a Teacher

I'm not a qualified English teacher and I've never taught professionally. What I am is someone who has lived an extraordinarily varied life and communicates for a living. Born in Hungary, fled as a refugee at 11, grew up in Australia, spent 20+ years working internationally in film and TV. I've reinvented myself more than once, in more than one language, in more than one country. That gives me a perspective no textbook can replicate. My approach is simple: I talk to you like a real person. I'll tell you when something sounds unnatural, share stories from my own experience, and help you find your voice in English — not just fix your grammar. I'm genuinely curious about people, and that curios

My lessons & teaching style

No two people are the same, so I don't teach the same lesson twice. Before we start, I offer a discounted first session — no pressure. I want to get to know you: where you're from, what you do, what you want to achieve. From that conversation, I build a lesson plan that's designed specifically for you. Maybe you need confident business English. Maybe you want to tell your story more clearly. Maybe you just want to talk to someone who will listen and push back honestly. Whatever it is, we figure it out together. No templates. No textbooks. Just real conversation with a clear purpose.
