Experience
I have experience both in tutoring (the Hungarian Deputy Minister for Education and Culture, for example, was a student for two years), and also in classroom environments. I've taught at the University of Ghent, the Hungarian National Film Academy, as well as at high schools in both Hungary and Belgium. It's something I enjoy. The key, to me, is to find / open doors for a student so that he or she can become self-motivated and truly engaged in learning a language, so that it's fun, be it for speaking / colloquial / comfort-in-communicating skills, for writing creatively, for preparing for exams, or feeling more comfortable and capable in a working environment.
