I have worked in a secondary school for ten yers. One of my pupils achieved the 7th, another one the 13th position on the national competiton of secondary schools on biology (OKTV).

I am the author of a text book series for secondary schools on biology (three tomes). Until now about 250 000 copies has been sold. The new, reworked version of this series has been registred by the Ministry of Education as an official textbook and is in use by secondary schools in Hungary.

The German translation of the tomes is in progress and translations for other languages are planned.

I am the co-author of a two volume textbook on chemistry for secondary schools. These are also registred by the Ministry of Education.
