About
As far as I can remember, I have always been interested in reading and literature. I entered high school wanting to study science but my interests soon began to shift to the humanities. At Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), I majored in Hungarian literature and linguistics, also taking many courses in comparative literature, literary theory and aesthetics. After graduating, I began a career in teaching: I have taught Hungarian to foreigners (including two spells at American universities in Indiana and New Jersey) , English to Hungarians, and literature at various levels of instruction. Since 2007, I have been serving as an assistant professor at ELTE, teaching courses in literary criticism, comparative literature and also on the teaching of literature.
I started teaching at McDaniel Budapest in 2009.
