Recently I also registered on a site called Tutoroo and through that I had the opportunity to meet and prepare a young student, Sayani for her relocation to study in Hungary this year, a few weeks before her travel. You can read her review on this link: TUTOROO
“I have been learning with Ágnes for just over a year. I find her to be a friendly tutor with a bubbly personality. What I especially love about her is that she only focuses on my learning needs and quickly adapts to my learning styles. Ágnes is patient. She listens to my learning problems and gives me solutions. She has a very positive attitude and always encourages me to focus on my strengths. Her feedback and advice have helped me a lot.”

“I’ve been learning Hungarian with Ági for a couple of years and have found her to be a wonderful teacher. She has an enthusiastic and engaging style which is so important with Skype-based lessons, is flexible in her approach and timing, and provides relevant and useful resources. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her for Hungarian learners of any level.”

“I studied with Agnes for half a year before my moving to Budapest. She helped me to get the basic knowledge of grammar rules, most useful words and expressions. When I had the test to the language school in Budapest I was able to pass it on a high level and went to the advanced group.
I looked sceptically to the opportunity to study by Skype. But I never had any problems with it. I felt like the teacher was in the same room as me.
After each class Agi sent me the new words that we had during the class, it was very comfortable. She always checked the homework in time and answered my questions.
What I like most in Agnes, that she is very flexible. If you are interested in some other topic, grammar or you want take this or that now, she always tries to satisfy your wants. The classes with Agi were very interesting. I want to tell THANK YOU, Agnes!!!!!! You helped me a lot!”

“My aim, when I started Hungarian lessons with Agnes, was to improve my confidence in speaking Hungarian. Agnes has provided interesting and relevant material, which has given me opportunity to speak, to revise points of grammar and to broaden my vocabulary. She does her very best to tailor the lessons to meet my needs, and is unfailingly patient and encouraging as well as flexible when I have to alter the times of my lessons because of other commitments.
I recommend her without hesitation, whatever your level of Hungarian.”

“Last year I discovered a series of Hungarian pronunciation videos on YouTube delivered by a helpful instructor. I watched them several times because they were very well done and useful. One lucky afternoon I read in the comments that this instructor took students on skype so I wasted no time putting myself in touch with Ági. She responded promptly and set me up with a trial lesson, which I enjoyed so much I continued for many months after with sessions. I find her teaching style to be fun and upbeat and exactly what I want in a class. Each session is educational, interesting and filled with encouragement. Ági is very flexible as I progress through the lessons. If I want to work on my reading out loud instead of grammar, the lesson focuses on my needs rather than a rigid and generic agenda. Ági is very professional and I would recommend her to anyone.”

“I found Ágnes Borbély during a search for online Hungarian tuition via Skype. And I’m very glad I did!
Firstly, her manner is incredibly warm, inviting and most convivial. Prior to each lesson, she’d assemble easy-to-follow handouts which she’d email me prior to the lesson that week for me to study.
Hungarian, I’ve discovered, is not an easy language to learn, and there’s no getting around this, sadly! But Ágnes’ friendly and encouraging approach, plus her willingness to explain some very difficult concepts, made me keen to continue with the lessons, despite the difficulty.
And coupled with the fact that language tuition can be very expensive, but her lessons are reasonably enough priced such that I periodically would do a double lesson, I cannot recommend her highly enough.“

“I enjoyed my time studying the beautiful Hungarian language with Ágnes. She taught me a lot. She is a very dependable teacher. Whatever she says she is going to do, you can be sure she will do exactly that!”

“Agnes has been teaching me three years now, she was clearly born to teach. She is always patient, polite and always has a smile no matter how slow or quick you learn.
She tailors her lessons specifically to where you are up to, to make sure that you accomplish the most, and get the most out of your time.
If you choose to learn Hungarian, I highly recommend that you try her, she won’t disappoint, and I cannot recommend a better teacher then Agika.”

“Agnes was teaching me Hungarian for almost one year. We had once a week a 45 min lesson. I really enjoyed learning Hungarian with her! She created the lessons fun, interesting and challenging. I especially appreciated her flexibility and her patience. Agnes explained the grammar in an easy and picturesque way and provided excellent material to work with.
Thanks to her I felt more confident moving to Hungary. Even if I still need a lot of practice to be able to catch up in a fast conversation, Agnes’ lessons helped me to be able to understand the main content of it. I can 100% recommend her!“
