Hi! My name is Lily and I am language teacher. Graduated at Sofia University as Philologist and Foreign Languages Teacher, on Italki I teach Bulgarian as a foreign language.
Bulgarian is my native language, although I dominate Spanish at the same level and I have an intermediate level of English. I dedicate myself to the world of language. Teaching is both an art and a science for me and I enjoy it.
Me as a Teacher
I follow a structured teaching methodology but I took the freedom to play and adapt it to the needs and level of each student.
As a teacher I am kind and cheerful. I have the gift of patience, essential. My priority is to create an atmosphere of motivating and fun learning, although I am also demanding. I like to put challenges, since I believe in the potential of my students so I involve them to the fullest in class.
My lessons & teaching style
I work by levels, according to the European Languages Framework. I adapt my classes to 3 different levels of students: beginners A1, Intermediate A2 and advanced B1-B2. The methodology and materials I use are specific for the different levels.
I work only with committed and constant students, since Bulgarian's learning plan is intensive and constancy is the key.
After presenting each lesson I keep the focus on practical examples. I use visual, reading and listening content to present the use in different contexts. We work the grammatical structures with schemes and activities and then dedicate the last part of the class to speaking practice and games, based on the learned content.

Lily is positive, encouraging, and systematic. She has a talent for explaining new words and concepts using lots of synonyms and related words, which is great for learning and making linguistic connections. Lessons with Lily are fun as well as super educational. I really like that she corrects my pronunciation, grammar, and word choice. Thank you for teaching, Lily!

As a former teacher, I really value engaging and effective teaching methods, which is exactly what I've found with Lily as my Bulgarian language teacher. Over the past two months, Lily’s patience and encouragement have been incredible. She uses various teaching techniques, from role-playing and interactive games to lively discussions about real-world scenarios. This hands-on approach really makes the lessons stick and makes it easy to see how the language is used in everyday life. This also bridges the gap between theoretical language use and actual communication. Lily’s homework and assignments reinforce what we've learned during the lessons, helping me retain what we have covered. I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a fun, supportive and structured way to learn Bulgarian!

Lily has been helping me on my journey to speaking fluent Bulgarian. She is forever patient and kind, and she is a wealth of knowledge. If she doesn't know the answer to one of your questions one class, she will have the answer by your next class. She prepares personalized materials, provides out of class work to practice, and takes the time to learn her students needs to ensure these activities are relevant for the learner.
Best teacher on all of italki.

Lily is a fantastic teacher. The lessons are fun and entertaining, also because of Lily’s good sense of humor and because she puts you at ease. On the other hand, her teaching style is also well structured and you learn a lot.
If you are looking for a Bulgarian teacher, then beg, borrow or steal, but do not miss the chance to take lessons with Lily.
