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

A very kind teacher who does everything possible to achieve your goals. He is very smiling and youthful too, so the good vibes cannot be absent from the classes. In addition, his way of teaching is very professional and he organizes all the classes according to your preferences. Being an examiner accredited by the Cervantes Institute, she offers you help at all levels. And lastly, she is a very motivating person. From the first class I had with her, my motivation has multiplied more and more. I recommend it with all my heart.

I've been an English and Spanish Teacher for ten years.
My methodology is divided into four steps:
1. Identify my students' goals and their skills.
2. Define a chronogram for their learning process.
3. Design personalized lessons.
4. Teach lessons according to the communicative aproach.
I want my students to feel empowered in and out of class.

Hi, I'm Franci. I'm an all-around but one of my favourite things is to teach and spread my passion for languages and cultures. I studied translation and intercultural communication, collecting moves around 5 countries.
I have many experiences as private teacher of Italian, English and German for kids, teenagers and adults. My biggest satisfaction so far has been to see a girl hating the German language at the beginning, ending up pursuing a university path in German!
What is important for me as a teacher: I want to understand your motivation and need for learning or getting better in a language. My methods will be tailored to your needs, interest, and learning skills.

My name is Abdelrahman, I'm a native Arabic speaker. I'm passionate about teaching Arabic. so it will be a great pleasure for me to help you learn Standard Arabic and Egyptian dialects.

My teaching approach will be easy and a lot of fun, Because I'm going to set up a suitable syllabus for every student depends on their needs and levels. and I want to make your path to learn easier and shorter. I'm looking forward to seeing you.

I often use these books in my teaching way:

- Arabic courses for English-speaking students (Madina book)

- Arabic between your hands.

- Al-kitab Al-Asasi (the basic book for non-Arabic speakers).

- kallimni Arabi bishweesh (Egyptian Arabic).

-Egyptian vernacular

I'm also choosing the best things from different books, so they can be suitable for my students.

I'm trying my best to make my lessons interesting and not boring, I have taught different ages from children to older people, and alhamdulillah it was a fantastic lesson.
