When, how, and why did you choose the teaching profession?
This is my first school year working as a teacher. To be honest, I never imagined that I would one day choose this career path. However, through my experience as a coach, I gradually grew closer to this world. As I got more involved, I realised how much I enjoyed being able to influence young people — to motivate them to move, grow, and develop. Now I can truly say that I’m very happy with my decision.
Why did you choose Brit–Magyar School?
When I first met the school leadership, we immediately found a common voice. I could feel that this was an inspiring and supportive environment where I would be able to thrive. So when they called me back, I didn’t hesitate for a moment — I said yes straight away.
What does an ideal lesson look like for you?
Since I still clearly remember my own school days, I know that many students used to see PE lessons as a “necessary evil”. I’d like to change that perception. My goal is for students to look forward to PE, to enjoy movement, and to see it not as an obligation, but as an opportunity.
What would you most like to pass on to your students?
A love of sport and an awareness of their own bodies. I want young people to understand how important exercise and a healthy lifestyle are. My hope is that one day I’ll meet them in the park or on a sports field, exercising for the joy of it — simply because they want to.
How do you motivate children to learn?
Through lots of games, positive feedback, and, of course, plenty of top marks! I believe that praise and experience-based learning are the strongest motivators.
What do you love most about teaching?
The most beautiful part of teaching is being able to witness long-term progress. Sport is the same — perseverance and working towards goals are long journeys. I’ll be truly happy if, ten years from now, I see many of my former students out in the parks or on the sports fields, smiling and active — and maybe even challenging me to a match one day!
