About Istvan
I am inspired by culture in all its forms, be it language and literature, music, food, architecture, etc. It is said that those who cannot do or make it, teach. Well, I also write music and perform regularly. This has always given me a sense of well-being. When I fell into teaching English to make my living, I was happy to have found a way that engaged with culture. All these years later, that is still the case, with the added pleasure of having seen so many of my students succeed in their learning journeys—whether it's slaying a final exam, or simply being able to use a hitherto vaguely understood lexical item with a newfound confidence. Just quietly, I think I am very lucky to be in this position.

Student-centered lessons are my focus. I listen, and take note of where students are, where they would like to go, and where they are on that journey. This guides me in preparation for our following lessons with practical tips and exercises, and laying out the nuts and bolts of how English works colloquially, and in formal and myriad other settings. Having experienced learning Hungarian, French and Korean, both abroad and in their respective homelands, I can reflect on how language gives voice and form to culture.
I'm also a musician. This has given me a sensitive ear to the rhythms, tones and melodic nature of speech. Many of my students over the years have enjoyed their journey towards achieving clear annunciation and communication.
I have a Master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, an undergraduate degree in music, a CELTA certificate, and broad experience teaching classes and tutoring in France, Australia, Hungary, and South Korea. I have helped students of all ages and backgrounds achieve their communication goals, as well as their desired IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge exam results. I like to keep lessons to 60 or 90 minutes.

I highly recommend Steve’s classes. I was his student some time ago, and as someone who came from Brazil without speaking much English, I found his teaching style very clear, patient, and easy to follow.
He has a great British accent, which is perfect if you’re looking to improve your pronunciation and listening skills. But what really stands out is how calm, professional, and supportive he is — he makes learning feel light and enjoyable, not stressful.
I learned a lot with him, and I’m really grateful for that. I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone wanting to improve their English in a comfortable and effective way.Highly recommend Istvan! Since his time at Kangan Institute, I’ve seen how he truly redefine teaching. He has a rare, artistic character and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. Instead of a standard lesson, he completely reimagined the concept of individual learning to fit you perfectly. If you want a tutor who is exceptionally gifted and truly cares, look no further!
It is a great pleasure for me to recommend Istvan. He is truly outstanding. He always used real-life examples instead of just following the textbook, which made the lessons engaging and practical. We often discussed real topics, not just basic school exercises, and that helped me use English more naturally and confidently. Thanks to his support and effective teaching, I was able to pass my C1 exam.
