My job is to make you successful!
I am very flexible in adapting to your needs and interests. My students represent all age ranges and language backgrounds.

CI is an approach that utilizes our brains’ innate capacity to acquire languages.
The main components are input that you can understand, and a large amount of repetition in varying contexts.
This method also enables you to use complete, functional sentences from day one!
Listen to three simple sentences three times
Easy and simple short stories read slowly
Real-life videos with easy but natural language
I have work/life experience in three continents, and I speak three languages (currently learning the fourth).
As a learner myself, I understand the level of commitment, time and effort required to gain proficiency in a foreign language.
I design the curriculum with the students to make sure it caters to your interests and learning style.
I am always encouraging and friendly, because we learn better when we are relaxed and having fun.
Eszter teaches real-world interactions to make the learning experience interesting and enjoyable. Rather than rely on a static text with rote repetition, she engages in a collaborative process that guides the student to a greater understanding of the material. I highly recommend speaking with Eszter if you are considering engaging with a tutor for this very intimidating language

I never thought learning Hungarian would be so easy, and so much fun! Only our third lesson and already I’m able to form complex sentences.
