About Me
italki teacher since Sep 8, 2021Me as a Teacher
Adult education is my preference and expertise, but I regularly help secondary school students with their studies. I teach English mostly for Hungarians and Hungarian mostly for those who speak English.
I prepare my students for language tests, job interviews and the Hungarian citizenship exam. This is what I can offer for the learners of Hungarian:
1) Free conversation/Spotlight on Hungary (or your interests),
2) Citizenship Exam / Interview Preparation
3) ECL Test Preparation
4) Hungarian Course A1-C1 (with MagyarOK coursebooks)
5) Grammar-based lessons
6) Literature and Stylistics.
For more details of my Hungarian and English/Business English lessons, please see the lesson descriptions.My lessons & teaching style
I have both traditional (coursebooks / grammar-based) and casual (prompts, interests or slide-based) lessons. As well as mixed ones. Everything depends on the student's personality, preferred learning methods and their goals.
Therefore regular feedback is the basis of my teaching.
I prefer using real language materials combined with leveled exercises. In more structured Hungarian Course A1-C1 lessons I also use MagyarOK coursebooks and Practical Hungarian Grammar.My teaching material

Teacher’s pick
I've been working with Ildikó for over 2 years to learn Hungarian for my simplified naturalization interview, which I just passed successfully the day I'm writing this. She's an excellent, very thorough, very encouraging teacher who's instilled in me just as much love for the Hungarian language and Hungarian culture as I can tell she has herself. She's been very understanding and accommodating to help me learn at my own pace, but she's never gone easy on me, always pushing me to speak and understand Hungarian on a deeper level. She's fantastic at tailoring lessons and conversations to who I am; don't be surprised on your first lesson if she's Googled you and already has a lesson plan about your most obscure interests! That is how much Ildikó truly cares about her students. If you're in for the long haul of learning this language, Ildikó is a fantastic teacher to take you on this journey, and will feel like family by the end of it.

I knew Ildiko would be a great teacher after taking a look at her professional background, and I look forward to continuing classes to improve my speaking skills.
