Meet our teachers

I have been a teacher for more than 20 years now. Without doubt, this is one of the most interesting and rewarding professions in the world, so if I was asked to choose a path again, I would turn the same direction. Nothing compares to the experience of understanding the individual way a person acquires a language, and join him/her to make this process enjoyable. When I don't teach English, I read a lot, go hiking or train my mind by learning languages.

I have been teaching learners of English of all ages and abilities since 2010. For me, regardless of age, nationality and experience, creating a good rapport with my students is an essential aspect of what we do. Therefore I feel my purpose as a teacher is to set up an engaging environment in which students from all walks of life feel motivated and encouraged to learn

Having spent a few years cutting my teeth at a language school in Cambridge, I now find myself working with the British Council in Hungary and can often be found reading in cosy cafes, playing football, or enjoying some of the myriad delights of the city.

"I consider language education a mission. I greatly enjoy being an active part of it."

Mariann graduated from ELTE, later obtained her CELTA qualification. She’s been working with all age groups, taught in various schools e.g. Bell, IBS. After managing the Hungarian operation of Cambridge University Press for a good number of years and conducting European language learning projects, she joined us as a teacher and Cambridge examiner.

I have been teaching English for more than 20 years now and been with the British Council for 4 years. I have lived in the USA and travelled a lot . I believe that every learning process should include fun and lots of laughter. In my free time I enjoy the tranquility  of gardening but I also love travelling with my family.

"Learning and teaching languages is fun and I spread my enthusiasm to students. I see teaching as an opportunity both for teachers and students to share knowledge, interests and ideas." 

Veron studied English Language and Literature in Budapest. She has been teaching English since 2002. Before joining the British Council she taught in language schools. She has a CELTA certificate and she is a Cambridge examiner for young learner exams. She likes reading, hiking and playing capoeira.

"What do I do? I teach English. I teach confidence. I teach openness. I build up trust. I show kindness. I motivate. I support. I smile. I correct. I comment. I pay attention. I listen. I learn. I joke. We laugh. I lead. They follow." 

Viki is an English Language and Literature graduate, ESOL teacher, translator and certified Cambridge Young Learner examiner. In her free time she enjoys reading, music, singing, salsa and travelling.

Will has been working as an English language teacher since 2005.  He currently teaches business English, adults, kids and teens courses at the British Council.  He has collaborated with various arts organisations in Hungary and previously taught fine arts at university. Will is currently doing a PhD. in Philosophy.

I’m an Australian/Cypriot foreign language teacher who’s taught English, French and Spanish for almost five years now in Australia and Hungary. I have a Masters of Education, a Bachelor of French and Political Science, a Diploma in Spanish and an Advanced Diploma in Performance Arts and CELTA. My background is in visual art, acting and music and I enjoy bringing drama, creative activities and energy into the classroom. Outside school I love swimming, dancing to live music, cooking and drawing.
