Teaching EAP since 2005 at:
University of Glasgow: Since starting in June 2015 I have taught English for Academic Purposes (EAP) on the summer pre-sessionals (Special subject for Block C 2015 & 2016: Social Sciences, Humanities and Education). I have also taught pre-sessional English (PSE), English for Study Skills (ESS) 1 & 2 and English for Academic Purposes 1, which is a credit bearing course for foreign undergraduates who are doing their year abroad in the University of Glasgow.
I have also taught EAP at Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, Imperial College London, University of Durham, Study Group (ISC) at Heriot-Watt University and INTO at Glasgow Caledonian University.
Secondary school teaching (Hungary):
I was a history (in English) teacher at Karinthy Frigyes (Dual-language) Gimnázium, Budapest, and a history and English teacher at Balatonalmádi (Dual-language) Gimnázium.
