About Me

I really enjoy learning languages myself! I have been teaching languages for over 10 years and it helps knowing how hard it can be sometimes. I love to find similarities and differencies between languages, also the history behind it, this helps me understand not only the language, but the culture behind it. In my free time, I love to travel, to actually experience different cultures first-hand. I have 2 cats, I love animals, I often use them as examples, especially when learning about gramar. I paint and play video games, and no, do not learn languages from other players in a game, please! :DMe as a Teacher
I believe learning should be fun and I make it fun! I am very animated and in my classes I seldom use another language, as students use their native language as a cane which they never let go. Students need to be fully engaged in the new language, switch their thinking even, in order to achieve the best. I've been a teacher for the past 10 years - in schools, kindergartens, online, private tutoring. I learn every day from every student how to be a better teacher, I treasure those moments together! My lessons & teaching style
I try to make learning fun. You can't remember a word? I will give you a fun (or even annoying) way to remember it forever! You can't remember a sound? I will make a song for you! I do provide tips on how to improve your skills by yourself, as it is an important part of learning - practicing every day! I also give fun homeworks - like watch a video, tell me a joke about horses next time, etc. Culture is an important part of learning a language, so in every lesson, we also learn about customs, traditions, holidays.My teaching material

Nina is always fun and helps me so much with my Bulgarian. I never feel shy or intimidated even though I make lots of mistakes. She explains and always sends my corrections and things that I didn’t know so that I can look over them

Nina is a brilliant teacher! I honestly don’t know how I would have got as far as I have without her. I look forward to her lessons and am really pleased with my progress- I feel like I have progressed so much over the past few months! She has such a flexible approach and whatever I start to talk about, she just picks up straight away. We have a mix of casual conversations as well as current topics. She helps me by correcting my mistakes, giving examples and also helping sometimes when I am struggling. She’s also extremely patient and is happy to wait whilst I try to explain myself, and this really pushes me. Although my Bulgarian isn’t fantastic, I feel very comfortable trying and after each lesson I come away feeling a little more confident and positive that I will eventually get there. I try to book in for 2 x 30 minutes per week, which feels like time to talk without feeling like I’m running out of steam and I love to read her feedback, which is always constructive and encouraging!

This was a great lesson! Nina helped me build on what I had learned the last lesson. The material was accessable but also challenging and I am motivated to study in order to be prepared for my next lesson. Thank you!

Another lovely lession! These conversation lessons with Nina are an important part of my Bulgarian studies. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to develop versatile language skills.
