About Me

I live in Bulgaria (my mother is Russian and Ukrainian and my father is Bulgarian). I have also travelled to many different countries and lived for 1 year in Japan.
I’m a lifelong language enthusiast fluent in 5+ languages, including Japanese. My 19+ years of teaching blend academic rigor (MA in Applied Linguistics) with real-world cultural insight. Let’s turn language barriers into bridges together!Me as a Teacher

I have an MA degree in Applied linguistics - English and Japanese and I have been a teacher for more than 19 years teaching English, Japanese and my native languages - Bulgarian and Russian. I have also specialised in the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.My lessons & teaching style

Learning Bulgarian with Elena is exceptionally efficient, she always has a well-prepared customized per-student presentation, it's shared via Google Presentations so we both can work on it at the same time. Results exceed expectations. After 10 lessons 1.5 hours each, I went to Bulgaria: Burgas, Varna, Nesebyr, Sozopol and I managed to speak only Bulgarian in restaurants, shops, bakeries, museums etc, I even bought some furniture. Throughout my two weeks' stay in Bulgaria I wrote many questions in the presentation that we shared on Google Presentations and during the first lesson after coming back from Bulgaria I astonishingly discovered that she prepared not only answers to them but also dialogs, exercises, etc. She's the best language teacher I've ever had. Native Bulgarian speakers were impressed, thank you!
