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!

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

Do you want to improve your Bulgarian or English language skills? Look no further! My name is Todor and I’m from Bulgaria. I've graduated university from University of Leeds, United Kingdom and I’m also certified in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). I enjoy teaching languages to both beginners and intermediate level learners. I am also a certified nutritionist, so I can help you practice nutrition and health related English. I love playing the guitar, travelling, learning new languages and activities that keep me physically active, such as hiking, table tennis and weightlifting.

I am passionate about teaching because I can share my knowledge with others, which I find very rewarding. My personal experience learning new languages allows me to put myself in my student’s position and understand their point of view. I am kind and patient, so I make my students feel relaxed throughout the lessons. I also make every teaching hour interesting and exciting in order to keep my students engaged and motivated.

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.

I enjoyed the classes, in one month I've gained much more confidence in my Bulgarian skills. The explanations are always clear and I like that she can adapt the teaching style based on the needs of the student. She's very nice and can put you at ease when practicing the language. I would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend Daniela. She is a very experienced and professional language teacher. She created dialogue teaching materials that helped me become conversational in Bulgarian from the first lesson. I was only familiar with the alphabet, but now, after one lesson, I can book an appointment, order a taxi, a coffee, and greet people in Bulgarian. I will continue to practice and add new words to my vocabulary. Daniela is a brilliant teacher who makes learning conversational Bulgarian so easy!

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.
