Mr Clark is an English teacher from Bristol, England. As an English teacher he is passionate about literature and writing and will talk your ear off about his favourite reads at any given opportunity. His academic interests are in the Victorian supernatural and science fiction as political allegory. He also loves history, particularly the histories of Ancient Greece and Rome and continental philosophy. He has published some poetry and short fiction and is (very slowly) working on a novel. Mr Clark is thrilled to live and work in Budapest and to explore central Europe in his free time.

Hungary being the fourth country that he has lived in, Mr Graham is originally from the city of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Having taught in secondary schools in England, Mr Graham was most recently the Head of Geography at his most recent school. With a university background in both Law and Geography, he is keen to emphasise to students the relevance of Geography in a modern, ever-changing world.

September 20, 2024 | Mrs Ailbhe Keating | Teacher of Art & Drama

Mrs Keating was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. She initially attended Art College, earning a degree in Fashion Design and working in the fashion industry before retraining as a Primary School Teacher. Since then she has lived and taught in Sweden, Ireland, the United States and now Hungary. She has worked in a range of roles from class teacher and specialist teacher to learning support and EAL teaching.
