About the teacher

I am teaching Bulgarian to foreigners and English to Bulgarians. I like the opportunity to meet new peoples, learn about their country and culture and share with them Bulgarian language and culture.

I have also developed several Bulgarian language manuals for foreigners and resource books for teachers and I am planning to continue working in this field.

My hobbies are traveling, photography, graphic design and reading.
