Natalie

It is with the greatest admiration that I commend Natalie for her superlative pedagogical acumen. Her profound mastery of the Hungarian language, coupled with a thoughtful and methodical approach, enables her to render even the most intricate concepts both transparent and compelling. Her teaching is defined not only by thorough preparation and eloquent delivery but also by the consistent, passionate engagement she brings to the learning process. What sets her apart is the rare capacity to embody, simultaneously, the highest standards of expertise and the warmth of an accessible guide. Whereas many teachers lean either toward profound knowledge or approachability, she unites both with seamless grace. Such a constellation of qualities — methodological precision, patience, and supportive demeanor — is seldom encountered. The result is an educational environment where knowledge is not only transmitted but also internalized and applied with enduring effect.

Natalie is a highly dedicated and thoughtful teacher—one of the most diligent I've ever worked with on Italki during the 10+ years I've been using the platform. Before each lesson, she sends me a set of materials, including short excerpts from or about Hungarian authors and useful idioms and expressions, which align perfectly with my interests. After each session, she follows up with recordings of new or challenging vocabulary from our lesson—materials she takes the time and trouble to prepare herself. These recordings are especially useful and help reinforce what we've covered. Natalie is also a great conversational partner: easy to talk to, engaging, and relaxed. Lessons with her never feel stressful—instead, I feel like I'm talking to a friend while steadily improving my Hungarian. I highly recommend Natalie to those who are about to embark on, or who have already embarked on, the study of this rich and beautiful language!

Natalie is THE BEST Hungarian teacher that somebody could think of. She helped me for a long time to reach my language goals and I can fully recommend her. She is not only practicing with you, but also provides a huge amount of useful resources, which makes learning a lot easier. And most importantly: You can count on her! 10/10

Amazing classes! Natalie is the most inspiring teacher I've ever had. She's humorous and truly knows how to teach. She patiently helped me with pronunciation, taught me fantastic pronunciation exercises, and I can already feel my pronunciation improving. The audio materials she provided are extremely useful too – I love being able to study anytime, whether at home or on the go. The pace is perfect – clear and not too fast – so I could practice shadowing too. I feel so lucky to be learning from her. Thank you, Natalie! Csodálatos órák! Natalie a leginspirálóbb tanár számomra. Humoros, és tudja, hogyan kell tanítani. Türelmesen segített a kiejtésben, remek kiejtésgyakorlatokat tanított nekem, és már érzem, hogy egyre jobb a kiejtésem. Nagyon hasznos hanganyagokat is adott – tetszik, így bármikor tanulhatok, akár otthon, akár úton vagyok, a tempó világos és pont jó, nem túl gyors, úgyhogy árnyékolvasni is tudok. Nagyon szerencsés vagyok, hogy nála tanulhatok, köszönöm Natalie!

Natalie teaches Hungarian as if she is listening not only to words, but to what the learner needs in order to trust themselves. There is warmth in every explanation and care in every correction. Nothing is forced, yet everything moves forward. It is astonishing how much easier growth becomes when it is guided by this depth of attunement. Learning with Natalie feels like watching a landscape change with the seasons—subtle, steady, and undeniable. By the time learners notice how far they have come, the language already belongs to them. This kind of teaching leaves an emotional trace long after the lesson ends.

Az egyik motivációm a magyar nyelv tanulásában az, hogy jobban ki tudjam fejezni, Natalie valójában milyen kiváló tanárnő
