Introduction: Grow your language skills for work, travel, or just for fun via Skype. Learn French, English, and Hungarian during lessons tailored to your schedule and goals. Brush up on your writing skills so you can tackle that project you've been meaning to start. Using a variety of media and a collaborative approach, you'll be sure to have fun learning! I am a seasoned linguist with professional training and experience teaching English, French, and Hungarian as foreign languages to beginners and intermediate students of all ages. I enjoy incorporating breaking news, practical situations, and personal stories into lessons to help make new material come alive. Past clients have included students at an international summer camp, Cambodian refugees, and a retired nurse.

Carolyn is my Hungarian teacher and she is excellent: capable, kind and patient. . She has prepared lesson plans and material I can take home to continue the learning process. E. Pataki

Carolyn is an excellent language instructor. I have needed classes specifically tailored to learning more sports terminology and phrases to use for interviews. It has been super helpful to study these topics during class sessions, and go over grammar as well. The videos and language games during the sessions are also fun.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We'll start with a free 30-minute phone call to talk about your goals, schedule our regular meetings, and assess your current skill level. Then, we'll meet (usually via Skype) at set times each week or month for our sessions. Homework is recommended, but totally optional!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned a BA in French from the University of Virginia and a certificate in teaching English as a Foreign Language from Oxford Seminars. I have studied and worked in Hungary, France, Switzerland, and Morocco to develop my language skills. I've worked as a professional editor and translator for 5 years, with certification in proofreading and copyediting.
