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!

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!

After every lesson I realise more and more how good of a teacher Elena is. She remembered the topics that I told her previously that I would like to be good at and creates exercises and dialogues for them. I also really appreciate the homework to review what we learned as well as letting me know my mistakes in the next lessons. Thank you!

In the first lesson Elena created a very good first impression for me. I did not expect to learn so much and get so many questions answered in just 30 minutes! She has a lot of knowledge and she is very good at explaining the language. Looking forward to continuing my learning journey with her.
