My Hungarian husband told me I improved a lot. And I felt in a safe space to practice and learn without being judged. I gained confidence. I loved it. Csilla is very kind. And she gives a lot of tools to keep learning and searching. She really wants you to learn.

I feel I have made significant progress since working with Csilla and have received compliments on my Hungarian from my fiancée's family (which is very motivating!).
Jake
I feel like I learned a lot again today. The content was well-matched according to my skill level, and you helped me along when I felt lost. In addition, you took away my fear of speaking more Hungarian.

Your Language Teacher:
Csilla Kovács
My very first Hungarian as a Foreign Language student, Misa became fluent within half a year and successfully passed his exams at one of Debrecen's top high schools.
That experience touched me deeply, and I decided this is what I wanted to do. After dreaming about it for years and working hard to make it a reality, in 2021 I started working as a private tutor to provide students with more personalized assistance.
I still receive messages from Misa's mother. She is grateful because her son graduated from university in Budapest and is working in a great job. And I’m deeply grateful to her for believing in me before I even believed in myself. Thanks to her, I discovered my calling.
With over 3,000 Hungarian lessons behind me, I can confidently say that I still love my work. Over the years, I’ve learned exactly what my students need and how to support them most effectively. I can’t wait to start working with you! ✨
