    About Me

    Hi everyone!

    I am Sara from Hungary, living in Malmö at the moment.
    I offer classes in English, Hungarian and Creative Writing for those who are interested in exploring themselves and finding creative ways to better their skills. My English classes can prepare you for language exams, job opportunities or simply help to gain your fluency. If you are interested in Hungarian, we will talk about culture and traditions and practice simple things to give you a strong base. If you are an aspiring writer, student or someone who is ready to put down some words on a page, we will explore your voice and ideas in my Creative Writing classes.

    I teach all levels. I try to bring something fun into each class, while making sure that you are making progress. Learning with activities you like is the most important. If you are a movie fanatic, we'll focus on vocabulary and grammar looking at scenes from your favorite films. If you love cooking, we'll focus on food and culinary culture to give a kick to your fluency then we will open up the conversation.

    The aim of my classes is to target your individual goals and find creative ways to reach them.

    Thank you for your attention, looking forward to meeting you!

    Generative writing lessons in Brussels (English & Dutch), by a published novelist
    The purpose of this class is to get you (back to) writing. It doesn't matter if you're stuck or just getting started. With simple generative writing prompts and exercises, I'll help you overcome your fear of the blank page and start writing. My goal is to help you "rest on the page" and get into a state of flow through techniques like freewriting, list-making, and word associations. You can also receive individual feedback and support on your current or upcoming writing projects, along with helpful exercises that you can do at home, which we can then discuss. The class can be taught in either English or Dutch. Ilona (1992) lives and works in Brussels as a writer, poet, and photographer. Her work examines the fragile architecture of being human, paying particular attention to what hides at the edges of existence, in the shadow of shame. With a background in English literature, linguistics, and political science, she has worked as a writer and copywriter for a decade. Newspaper De Morgen praised her debut novel Donkerkiemer (Pelckmans Publishers, 2023) as ‘particularly cleverly composed' and 'psychologically and philosophically profound’. Themes such as ritual, memory, and loss, as well as a gentle rebellion against prevailing norms and systems, are central to her work. She is currently working on a second novel.

    Creative writing for all - begin or continue your journey
    If you are serious about writing, it needs to be worked on in conversation with others, as well as on your own. You may have written for a long time, or just be taking a first step to find a safe environment to share your work with someone else. Writing can be such an enriching practice (which may even transform your life), but this doesn't mean it is easy or fulfilling all the way. There are bumps and blocks and tensions... one great way through them is to start to build a community... a good place to start can be to find someone to guide the process of writing and finding ways to support your creativity. I can also signpost to places to go and can guide you to group opportunities and communities, whatever your means. I am a published poet and fiction writer and have worked as a writing tutor for 5 years. I have an MA in Creative Writing and am studying towards a PhD. I work as a writing mentor for poets and writers from many different backgrounds.

    Telling the truth: Creative writing for radical transformation
    This class will assist you in accessing the layer of your being which knows exactly what needs to be said, and exactly how to say it. This is a place where words flow like liquid, a layer of the viscera of our energetic bodies where the truth rises through us like sap. We have all been entrained to fear telling the truth, and for a lot of us, that fear interferes with our ability to access this place of knowing. It is the place that prophecy comes from and it is both within us and part of us, but what comes through it is not just of us- it is a flow of honesty which carries the nutrition that the system we are a part of needs. I will attune to your process and find the places where tweaks, breath, or attention may provide a fulcrum around which your system can reorient to change, and bring you more frequently and more fully to this place of connection. Please note, my prices are heavily discounted for the moment while I'm workshopping this material- my next group of students will be integral to helping develop the material, so the hourly rate reflects that!
