Pap Anikó

Első diplomámat a Kereskedelmi és Vendéglátóipari Fôiskolán szereztem. Pár évig dolgoztam közgazdászként, de az iroda nem nekem való. Masszőrként, aerobic tanárként és biciklis futárként is kipróbáltam magam.

Felnőtt fejjel jelentkeztem a Tanítóképzőbe. Két évet tanítottam egy akkor induló alternatív iskolában. Feltöltődöm, amikor gyerekek között vagyok. Tanulunk egymástól.

Négy gyerekem van. Szeretek olvasni, kedvenceim a fantasy és a történelmi regények. Szabadidőmben kirándulok a kutyánkkal. Érdekelnek az extrém sportok.

Buskó Henrietta

Pozitív szemléletű, nyitott személyiség vagyok. Ezeket az értékeket próbálom majd továbbadni a gyerekeknek. Korábban fogyatékkal élő gyerekekkel foglalkoztam. Különböző képzéseken vettem részt.Ilyen volt az alkalmazott viselkedèselemzés (ABA), Montessori módszerek beépítése a pedagógiába, amelyek segítségével még hatékonyabban tudok kapcsolódni a gyerekekkel.

Szeretem a kihívást jelentő, kreativitást igénylő feladatokat. Meggyőződésem, hogy jól tanulni csak jó közösségben lehet. Úgy vélem, fontos, hogy minden gyermek felfedezze magában az igazi értékeit és barátokat szerezzen. Munkám során mindezt figyelembe véve, igyekszem színesebbé tenni a gyerekek mindennapjait és maradandó élményeket nyújtani számukra.

Mácska-Miklós Elizabet

I completed my higher education at the Faculty of Education of the University of Szeged, which is a city close to my heart. Subsequently, I began my teaching career at a local primary school. Before obtaining my teaching degree, I volunteered at numerous Hungarian and American organizations, spending a considerable amount of time with elementary and high school students. One of the most defining volunteer experiences in my life was at the ÁGOTA Foundation, where I organized camps for children taken out of their families and living in state care. In these camps, I learned a great deal about love, acceptance, empathy, and the importance of building self-confidence.

It is my personal mission to help children discover and experience the treasures and values within themselves. I consider it extremely important to nurture children with love, critical thinking, mutual respect, and acceptance. I particularly enjoy working with elementary school students because I am always amazed at how young minds can be so broad-minded and wise. For me, teaching is not just about imparting knowledge; it is much more about mutual learning.

Hosseini Reihaneh

I am Reihaneh Hosseini, and am on the path to fulfilling my Ph.D. degree in Art History very soon. I have always been fond of all arts; hence the reason my previous university degrees were also closely associated with this particular area. However, despite coming from an artistic background, I always seemed to have the tendency to enjoy teaching and even voluntarily tutored my friends who struggled either with English or the arts. Life has blessed me with opportunities to live in multiple countries, and due to this amazing experience, I admire cultures from every single nook of the world and try my best to learn as much as possible about them. My current main goal is to help our younger generation become more aware and open towards other countries, races, and cultures so that they can see how colorfully beautiful this world is. I am from Iran and began my teaching career in Tehran at the age of 18. I taught students from all age groups and managed to learn a lot from them simultaneously. Until recently, I held private English classes at my place, and then I joined the Budapest School family. I will do my best to bring many useful and helpful things to the table and remain positive throughout this new journey.

Pilz Fanni

I studied psychology at Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary, and I spent a lot of time with children during this period. Each summer, I attend three-week-long roleplaying camps to find the best possible ways to coexist with children, and during the year, I find various ways to reach them: I either hold creative activities, or if they require it, I simply talk to them. In recent years, I learned psychodrama for children, which I have also been practicing at the Római part micro-school since the autumn of 2018. I like to travel, hitchhike, do voluntary service, learn about various cultures, perceptions, and places different from each other – I can find my place almost anywhere.

Szabó Diána

I graduated as a bioengineer from the Faculty of Chemical and Bioengineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. During and after my university years, I worked as a researcher, focusing on cancer research, immunology, and environmental protection both in Hungary and abroad. I tutored elementary school children in chemistry, led biochemistry lab practices at the Technical University, and mentored a medical student's research project at Semmelweis University. Alongside my scientific work, I attended courses in pedagogy, psychology, self-awareness, and personal development. Beyond my own personal growth, my main focus has been researching how to best support children in blossoming into their true, authentic selves within a deep and loving relationship.

For three years, I was a mentor at Budapest School Dabas, and for two years, I worked as a school manager. I mentored children, led STEAM projects, taught mathematics, and handled school organization. I also completed experiential education training, which I love integrating into my lessons. In September 2024, I joined the Budapest School Római-part team as a mentor and STEAM educator, bringing in my previous experience to support the school.

I am a proud mother of two children (ages 7 and 10). The bond I share with them is one of my greatest treasures, and I learn so much from them every day.

Self-awareness, personal growth, mindfulness, and development play a crucial role in my life. I strive to push beyond my limitations and use what I’ve achieved to help others. I have always been deeply interested in how people can bring out the best in themselves, how they can support others in doing the same, and how all of this can contribute to the well-being of others and the world. I have found my passion for this through mentoring children and coaching.

In my free time, I love dancing, spending time in nature, exploring new paths, connecting with people close to my heart, playing board games, trying out different sports, paddleboarding, meditating, practicing yoga, or simply enjoying the sunshine with a slice of watermelon.

Hegyi Zsófi

I earned my teaching diploma in the field of physical education. My second diploma is in developmental pedagogy, and my teaching qualification exam is also related to this. I have worked in various schools (Waldorf, Montessori, and traditional), teaching children of all ages from grades 1 to 13. In the Waldorf school, I developed a developmental protocol and simultaneously initiated a period of teaching learning methods, which I taught to high school students for several years.

A significant part of my life is dedicated to movement and sports, and I consider it crucial to instill a love for them. I previously worked for years as a children's cross-country skiing instructor and participated in camps. I believe that through leading by example, it is possible to cultivate a love for movement, play, and nature in every child. I also enjoy teaching any subject outdoors. The experiences and many positive moments in the open air are irreplaceable "lessons," and I believe in the possibilities of subject concentration.

My goal is not only to teach a solid foundation but also to introduce my students to their strengths. Building on this, I teach them how to learn so that they can confidently navigate any area of their lives. Cooperation is important both in learning and in leisure activities, as it is a crucial skill in today's world.

I find joy in both teaching and learning. I feel good when I am among children.

Illés Nóra

I'm an energetic, vibrant personality, which I strive to leverage both in my personal life and in my profession, including teaching.

I love nature and its hidden treasures. Summer camps, where I often work as an animator, are unimaginable without a good atmosphere and the proximity of the forest.

In my free time, I practice yoga and try to get out and explore as much as possible - I love showing and passing on these treasures and values to children.

I have work experience with children of all ages, from nursery to high school. My studies also began in similar fields at the Benedek Elek Faculty of the University of Sopron, and I have participated in several professional training courses and further education programs.

I started working and spending time with children at an early age, in a playful and differentiated manner. I believe that every child needs a different key to feel open and safe in their environment - that's why I tend to give individual attention to each child.

Zima István

I am István Zima, a mathematician, sociologist, karate coach, and trainer by profession. I worked as a full-time karate coach for eight years and joined Budapest School in August 2021 while continuing my coaching activities. For me, martial arts is an excellent tool for education, personal development, and conveying values. Since 2015, I have been engaged in experiential education, which also serves these goals remarkably well.

In recent years, I have focused on harmonizing the methods and principles of martial arts and experiential education into a unified and cohesive approach, creating a unique and highly effective educational method. Since 2020, I have worked as a trainer, including for the Rogers Foundation for Person-Centered Education and the Hungarian School Sport Federation.

After 14 years of experience as a private mathematics tutor, I ventured into a school environment. For two years, I taught and mentored upper primary students at BPS P10, primarily in mathematics, but I also led various activities, from drama workshops and physical education sessions to a module on The Paul Street Boys.

Since July 2023, I have been managing the BPS Római campus as the school manager and am currently working on launching the upper primary program.

Tumbas Alex

I believe that education, empathy, curiosity, and fostering a love for learning have the power to shape society. I worked as a system administrator at a school for six years, then gained experience as a teaching assistant. Through these roles, I saw how much it matters to treat children with genuine compassion and how this supports their growth and confidence. I strive to create an interactive learning environment where students of all abilities feel engaged, supported, and respected.

My studies in sociology, along with my teaching experience in Nepal and workshop facilitation in Vietnam, have shown me the importance of embracing different perspectives. These insights inspire me to help children build connections and deepen their understanding of the world around them.

I am currently studying IT and working towards a teaching assistant qualification to enrich my educational approach. My goal is to inspire students to develop a love for learning, embrace diversity, and cultivate resilience and self-awareness.

Kovács Beáta

Kovács Beáta vagyok, tanár. Élvezem és az életem fontos részének tartom, hogy a gyerekeket vidám, izgalmas kihívásokkal, szeretettel teli élményekkel, érdekes ismeretekkel, és önbizalom-, valamint testtudatosság építő mozgásokkal ajándékozzam meg.

Hosszú utat jártam be, mire rengeteg egyébként sikeres és érdekes tanulmány, ám érzelmileg sajnos keveset adó munka után be kellett látnom nekem és a környezetemnek is, hogy sem idegenforgalmi közgazdász, sem külügyi szakértő nem leszek, hiába van róla papírom. Viszont testemből, lelkemből tanár vagyok, úgyhogy ehhez is szereztem ismereteket, papírt, és azóta is folyamatosan továbbképzem magam, mozgásfejlesztés, gyermekjóga vonalon, mert ebben látom a fejlődés kulcsát. Mindebben segítségemre vannak saját gyermekeim is, akik naponta be tudják bizonyítani, hogy az iskolapadban tanultak és azok ellentéte egyaránt igaz lehet egy gyermek, család életében.

Kenderesi Ildikó

Since my childhood, I have aspired to become a teacher. I obtained my diploma in 2003 in the field of music and singing. Since completing my college education, I have been teaching, except for a few very special years that I spent at home with my own children.

I have guided several classes from the first grade to the end of the fourth grade and led a talent development work community. I studied classical vocal training for ten years at the Erkel Gyula Újpesti Alapfokú Művészeti Zeneiskola, and singing remains one of my hobbies to this day.

My pedagogy focuses on community building, artistic education, connecting with nature, and unfolding individual abilities. Recognizing that humans are social beings, I consider it a crucial task to accompany and assist children on their path to becoming contributing members of the community, as the key to happiness lies in good human relationships.

I enjoy painting for my own pleasure and as a shared activity with children. Through collaborative art, children experience being conscious creators of their own creative power, fostering a sense of belonging to the group, creativity, and the ability to express themselves.

Observing and getting to know the children entrusted to me, I shape the educational environment. I believe that everyone is unique and irreplaceable. School not only prepares for the future but also serves the development and joy of the community within it.
