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 All,
It is nice to meet you and I would be more than glad to discuss your learning goals in a trail lesson of 30 minutes so we could know each other better. I have a level 3 award in Education by YMCA, where I have planned and delivered a lesson on the topic Bulgarian alphabet to English students. On the other hand I am currently finishing my study in Bulgarian Linguistics and Literature at the Sofia's university. I spent a few years in England where I have been a Learning assistant for ESOL classes, which is teaching English as a second language. I also have a degree from University of Sheffield in Business Administration.
Before starting the lessons we will have to do an assessment to see the level of the student. Once this is done and our goals are set, even if it is for a few lessons only, we will adapt the student centered methodology. The lessons will be interactive, with a participative style -grammar rules will be discussed, speaking , writing and vocabulary.
For English -Cambridge books
For Bulgarian- filmcards , cards with pictures and names in Bulgarian. Printed materials in regards to Bulgarian language.
Lessons will be delivered in English or/and Bulgarian.

Hello, I am Daniela, a qualified teacher of Bulgarian as a foreign language. I am originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. I have a passion for languages; I speak fluent English and Spanish, Czech and Slovenian. I have a very practical approach to languages. My method is very communicative and gives lots of initiative to the student - I teach through real-life situations and role plays, so my students start speaking from the first lesson. I am always interested to understand your motivation why learn Bulgarian and adapt fully to the needs and likes of each student. I make my lessons fun and enjoyable for every student, as I believe it is very important for the student to enjoy learning, and to be looking forward to the next class. Many times we discuss culture, traditions, history and all kinds of topics that the student is interested in, and in this way, progress comes much faster.

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.

Always a pleasure to have my Bulgarian class with Angel. He is a very friendly person and a great teacher. His combination of Bulgarian lessons with Bulgarian songs is very fun and helpful for learning the language. Can definitely recommend him!
Angel S.Andy is one of the best students I have had in my long-lasting teaching career. He is not only a great student but a great guy and my lessons with him have been a really pleasant experience. Thank you, Andy!

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.

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.

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!
