My name is Monika and I am fluent Bulgarian and English speaker. I can help you to learn Bulgarian and/or English if you are a beginner or if you want to prepare for your exams in Bulgarian grammar. I am passionate about languages because I found it easy to study languages in general. I took my final exam in Bulgarian grammar and literature with A. I also graduated Glasgow Caledonian University, which of course required IELTS.

I would discribe myself as a very patient, supportive and highly motivated person. I don't like to put pressure on my students because the brain works better when the focus goes on the learning materials, not on the stress.

I want to help everyone, who wants to learn Bulgarian and/or English without any struggle.

Hope to see you soon. 

Здравейте, казвам се Моника и перфектно владея български и английски език. Мога да ти помогна да научиш български и/или английски, ако си начинаещ или да те подготвя за изпит по български език. Харесвам да уча езици, защото го намирам за нещо, с което се справям лесно. Средното си образование завърших с 5.80 на матурата по български език и литература. След него, завърших и бакалавър в Glasgow Caledonian University, който разбира се изискваше езиков изпит по английски - IELTS. 

Бих описала себе си като много спокоен, насърчителен и силно мотивиран човек. Не обичам да подлагам учениците си под напрежение,  тъй като мозъкът работи по-добре, когато фокусът е насочен към учебната дейност, а не към стреса. 
Искам да помогна на всеки, който желае да научи български и/или английски без трудности. 

Надявам се да се видим скоро.

Dear Student,

I am Daniela, a qualified teacher of Bulgarian as a foreign language.

I will be delighted to help you learn Bulgarian. I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. I am passionate about languages; I am fluent in English and Spanish, Czech and Slovenian. I have helped many foreigners now living in Bulgaria to better understand and speak with confidence in their social environment. I am always interested in their motivation to learn Bulgarian and I adapt myself completely to the needs and tastes of each student. My teaching style is very communicative, I teach through dialogues, and real situations so my students start speaking from the very first lesson. I make my classes fun and enjoyable for all students, as I believe it is very important that the student enjoys learning, that they look forward to the next class. We often talk about culture, traditions, history and all kinds of topics that interest the student and in this way, progress is much more natural and faster.

Many thanks.

Best regards, Daniela

I enjoy learning Bulgarian with Daniela. She has a very practical, communicative approach to teaching, we make a lot of conversation and this helps me to begin speaking Bulgarian with ease and more confidence. Besides she adapts to what I want to learn, brings topics and content of interest, and I have learned a lot about Bulgarian history and traditions in our lessons, too. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher. Many thanks !

Hello, I'm Rosie. I strongly believe that anyone can not only learn a language, but it can happen naturally, without homework, overcoming the learning-relate traumas. Within only a couple of sessions, students start using the language spontaneously and confidently. Until the end of the course, they can successfully engage in a wide range of topics. Suggestopedia makes it all happen.

I'm a highly-qualified teacher of English and Bulgarian with over 8 years of experience in teaching students from all ages, levels and cultural backgrounds.
I use an innovative and creative methodology to help you learn up to 5 times faster with much better reinforcement compared to any traditional methodologies.
If you are curious to experience it first-hand, do not hesitate to contact me.
I will gladly welcome you to my virtual space!

Best wishes!

Hi there,

I am glad to meet you.

First of all, let me congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. In your case this is Bulgarian.

My country, Bulgaria, is a beautiful country with nice and hospitable people. It is an ancient land with a great history and rich culture. Having learned our language you will be able to get in touch freely with our good people and country.

I come from the town of Vidin, Bulgaria. I am a qualified English and Bulgarian teacher. I graduated back in 1972 from Sofia University with an MA in English Philology and Bulgarian Philology as a second subject. Since then I have spent most of my professional career teaching Bulgarian students.

First of all, we will have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice!

Cannot wait to meet you and help you on your journey to learn Bulgarian.

Today we did a translation of a Bulgarian text about bribery. Again it was a combination of new vocabulary, grammar (tenses) and a very interesting and up-to-date topic. I always learn a lot of additional stuff with Angel like phrase, grammatical exceptions and funny little stuff.

Dani is a wonderful teacher. I'm a native Bulgarian speaker with a non-Bulgarian speaking son. For years I have tried to motivate him to learn from me, with minimal success, unfortunately. Since we started lessons with Dani, my son is now able to understand and engage in basic conversational exchanges; and this is only after seven lessons! Dani comes prepared to the lessons, but is flexible and able to change lesson plans on the spot, based on what the interests of the student may be that day. Some days my son wants to talk about sports cars, others he likes to talk about sports. Dani takes his lead and engages him in the conversation topic of his choice, while remaining focused on the large picture of teaching a language; grammar rules, conjugation, prepositions, sentence construction and much, much more!

Hello,
My name is Zlatko. I believe that learning Bulgarian online with me gives you the best of both worlds: fast progress and enjoyment.Taking on the challenge to learn a new language is impressive. The reasons might be different. Some people give it a go because they just like new things. Others need to learn a new language because they are moving to a country where the language is spoken. Remember that whatever your reason is, it is your motivation that is the key to successful learning.

Who am I and why to pick me:
- online and face-to-face teaching experience: over 15 years helping hundreds of students achieve their language goals
- flexibility: willing to tailor my techniques to both your interests and specific needs
- patience and excellent listening skills
- honesty and collaboration: let's build trust and consider our work as a partnership
- native Bulgarian speaker with oustanding educational background
- sense of humour

Material
All lessons are interlinked to promote better and more memorable learning, with the flexibility to pick out key sections to focus on certain language points. All language is clearly signposted and scaffolded so there is great clarity of progression of learning - students can really feel they are getting somewhere.

In general, my teaching style includes, but is not limited to:
- speaking practice through role-play activities
- stotytelling and discussions
- gap filling excercises
- listening comprehension
- vocabulary development
- accent reduction

How does that grab you? If interested, drop me a line and we will discuss your language goals and expectations.

I OFFER a 15 MINUTE TRIAL LESSON TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT MY TEACHING METHOD LOOKS LIKE.

Hope to see you soon.

Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of every lesson:
1. Review what you covered in your previous lesson.
2. Focus on things you had difficulty with. I will definitely go over them.
3. It is always a great idea to take notes during your lessons. It helps you stay more focused on what you are learning.
4. Feel free to ask me if anything has come up since your last lesson that you want clarification on. Your questions do not have to be prior lesson related, maybe you are just curious about how to say something.
5. Be sure you have completed your homework assignments. If you were not able to complete them, make notes about what stumped you. Were the instructions not clear enough, was the vocabulary beyond your level of comprehension, were the grammar rules too overwhelming, was there too much homework for the time you had planned to spend on it, and so on.
6. Contact me prior to your next lesson if there are any issues or changes you would like to make me aware of so I can have a chance to make changes to your learning plan.

I look forward to seeing you in my lessons.

Zlatko has an excellent teaching style and adapts to your learning ability. I am an older pupil and have found the learning pace manageable and have remained motivated. Zlatko has developed his own teaching material that is a good mix of vocabulary, grammar and phrases. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a teacher.

I have been learning Bulgarian from Dianela for almost 1 month now and it has been a great experience. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient with everyone in class always encouraging her students to try. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Bulgarian !

Hello my Dear students! My name is Desislava and I am from Bulgaria. In 2017 I finished my Master`s thesis concerning foreign language students` motivation. It was a great and very interesting challenge for me to look for and find so many answers and helpful tips for me as a teacher on how to make my students` motivation bigger. Since 2014 to 2018 I was a teacher in English for the local university in my home town- Blagoevgrad. I am thankful to every single student that I have had so far because teaching is a process where the teacher and the students both give and take. I have learnt that patience is one of the biggest factors while being a learner and then a teacher. Before I became a teacher ,it is logical that I had been a student. I will always remember the best teachers that I had and I promised myself to try to be like them. I am currently taking care of my first child, so this is why I stopped working for the university. In me you can find not only a teacher, but also a good friend. We can share memories, good and bad happenings or whatever you like. Be free to contact me for English and Bulgarian lessons also! Everyone is more than welcome to ask me for help. I promise to give 100% and let the learning process begin! Thank you for reading my introduction, thank you in advance if you choose me as a teacher! See you! :)

Emilia is really an amazing teacher. Very kind in communication yet very sharp in spotting and correcting mistakes. She gives the lesson a good balance between asking questions so I can practice talking in general and structure in adding new materials by following the book. I hope she keeps going this for a while because I hope to learn from her for many more lessons!

Hello! My name is Deborah! I am a language instructor. I teach Italian, English and Bulgarian. I have more than 15 years teaching experience, both face-to-face and online to individual as well as to small and large groups. At the moment I am teaching Italian in a private school in Sofia, Bulgaria- where I lived for more than 10 years. I teach English to students ready to move to English speaking countries for work, and to students who need Еnglish for their career. I also prepare students for exams (KET, PET, FCE, CAE, CPE), and I offer language courses for communication and travelling purposes.
I attended the College (tourism) in Lucca-Italy. I have a diploma in Secretarial and Business Administration from the South Kensington and Chelsea Collage in London- (I lived in London few years ago). I have a TEFL certificate -grade A.  and an ECL certificate in Bulgarian C1 with 96/100. Therefore, I have a good knowledge of how languages work and I can provide my students with helpful insight. Teaching is my passion, and I am constantly in search for new methods to help my students to get through the challenges and the difficults when learning a new language.
I am an enthusiastic, dedicated and adaptable teacher. I always use the communicative method in my teaching and I try to make my students feel comfortable by creating a funny and relaxed environment.
I hope to see you soon in one of my classes!
