About Me
italki teacher since Dec 8, 2018
Hello everyone! Are you having trouble learning Bulgarian or English? Have you been trying to study by yourself but ended up unsatisfied with your knowledge? If yes - I’m here to help you! If you’re looking for a positive, relaxed and most importantly experienced teacher, you’ve found her!
Apart from teaching I am interested in psychology and hold a bachelor's degree in it. Big part of my practical education was working with people from different backgrounds and I think that this has also helped me a lot in my teaching practice.
Me as a Teacher
I’ve been teaching English and Bulgarian for around six years and throughout my career I’ve taught many students, both beginners and advanced speakers. I can offer you an effective yet comfortable way of teaching, which will help you improve what ever you need and become confident in your speaking!
I hold a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualification and have over a thousand hours teaching experience both in-person and online.
Fun, relaxed and friendly would be the three words I'd pick to describe me as a teacher.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style revolves around making my student feel comfortable and at home. Almost as if you're with a friend rather than a teacher. I like to use conversation along with materials to make sure my students are speaking enough and gain confidence quickly and easily.
Cancellation policy: Please notify me 24 hours prior to the lesson if you wish to cancel/reschedule otherwise the full lesson fee will be charged. Thanks!

Tremendous lesson! Always a pleasure to talk to Yoana, always interesting conversations and topics, also Yoana can always point out and explain some grammatical rules that you have troubles with. Very handy is the thing that she writes down all the words and frases that you had trouble to say/explain, so later you can read them through, maybe write down and learn by heart :) Always great mood and new knowledge, много благодаря, Йоана! ^.^

Yoana’s mastered the difficult art of creating an environment where grammar and vocabulary is taught in an engaging and interactive way. I’ve had a few lessons with her and my Bulgarian boyfriend has already commented on how much I’ve improved.

Yoana is terrific, she really got me over the discomfort of talking poorly and got me talking and chatting away. I intend to continue with her long-term

I thought the first lesson was clearly set out and Yoana taught in a way that was clear and understanding to my needs.
