International Experience
- I have a deep-rooted international background, having been educated across various countries and systems, such as the IGCSE/A-level system at Britannica International School in Budapest and Gao Kao Hui Kao in Beijing. My experiences in Hungary, China, and the USA have shaped my global perspective. I hold an MA in English Instruction from Eötvös Loránd University, where I graduated with honors. I have taught English, German, Hungarian, Chinese, and music across various age groups and settings. My international singing experiences in China, America and Europe, along with leadership roles in cultural exchanges and youth programs in the U.S., have further enriched my cross-cultural understanding and adaptability.
Why I enjoy working with international students...
Having lived, studied, and worked across multiple cultures, I understand the challenges and rewards of navigating new environments. I enjoy working with international students because I can relate to their experiences. I appreciate their resilience, unique perspectives, and diverse ways of thinking. Guiding them through language learning and cultural adaptation is deeply fulfilling, as I can help bridge gaps and foster mutual understanding. Additionally, I am constantly learning from their rich cultural backgrounds, which enhances my own growth as an educator.
