I'm a native Hungarian, and I've spent most of my life in Budapest, but I've lived in other countries as well, especially somewhere in Southeast Asia, which had a great influence on me and my way of thinking. I think I get accustomed to other cultures pretty easily, and when I travel and I'm somewhere for more than two days, I try to speak their language a bit. And since the net started, I've really had plenty of contacts or friends from all around the world. As for teaching, most of my students come from Slavic countries, the Americas and China these days, who knows why. :)

Me as a Teacher
I have a university degree, of course, I'm a master of arts in language teaching and linguistics with more than 25 years of experience in various schools, corporate courses and private tuition, including about 15 years of online teaching, and I've had lots of publications, books, teaching materials, etc. But the most important thing is how much fun I have with my students, how we respect each other and how we work together. They inspire me and I inspire them, we have success together, and this is great. I don't know how many thousand students I've had, probably more than ten or fifteen, quite a couple of them from distant countries around the world, and we've always been getting along well.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style? Friendly, relaxed, humorous... I never say you have to do this or that, we just talk and do it and you don't notice that we're working, you just enjoy it. And later you're surprised at your results, and you say, oh I've learned a lot without any pain or suffer. :)
OK, I always focus on the student's interests and needs, and I have a kind of strategy to improve various skills as required by your goals, I may even make a definite plan for our lessons to achieve the best possible results, but I've got plenty of tricks to make this painless and fun even when you practise alone at home. I teach you how to do it and reach your goals quite easily and fast.

George is wonderful. He's been helping me fix some of the early grammar that I didn't learn well enough the first time. I worried about re-starting the language because it is usually quite frustrating, but it hasn't been frustrating at all with him. All of the material he's created is very clear and helpful.
