Meet Our Teacher
When, how and why did you choose the teaching profession?
I have always loved helping others – perhaps because I’m an older sibling – so in a way, I didn’t choose teaching; it chose me. I believe it’s important to teach and educate with my whole personality. After earning my degree, I gave myself time to grow into the profession so I could truly embrace it with heart and soul. That was more than a decade ago.
Why did you choose the Brit–Magyar School?
I was looking for a school whose mission aligns with my own. At the Brit–Magyar School, I feel that teachers are genuinely there to help students achieve success by developing their individual abilities and skills, and to find their place in this ever-changing world. The school nurtures not only academic knowledge but also the personal growth that enables students to become active, responsible members of their communities – all within a safe and caring environment.
What does an ideal lesson look like for you?
For me, an ideal lesson is engaging and meaningful. It sparks students’ curiosity, sustains their interest, and helps them understand why the subject matters. It keeps pace with their interests, is tailored to individual needs, and sets realistic but meaningful expectations. A variety of activities and modern teaching methods help maintain attention and enthusiasm. When students feel successful, they are more willing to spread their wings – eventually becoming active, responsible members of society, equipped with the solid foundations they built here.
What is the most important thing you would like to pass on to your students?
Above all, I want my students to see that learning and personal growth can be enjoyable and exciting. I believe in lifelong learning, and that when it becomes an inner drive, it ultimately contributes to our happiness.
How do you motivate your students to learn?
I build motivation both in the short and long term. In the short term, during lessons, students receive immediate feedback – such as positive reinforcement, small successes, and extra points – all of which encourage participation. It’s important to me that they feel their effort and involvement are valued. In the long term, we work towards shared goals so students can see their progress and celebrate their achievements. I also aim to design lessons that match their interests, leading by example and showing that learning truly can be an enjoyable experience.
What do you love most about teaching?
What I love most about teaching is achieving success through my students’ achievements. I am grateful for a profession where no two lessons are ever the same and where I can express my creativity every day.
