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’s lessons fly by. She always picks up on a conversation that’s relevant and can readily produce relevant resources. She is fun and makes everything appropriate to you. She only speaks to you in Bulgarian, which is brilliant because you have to speak Bulgarian the entire lesson but she also explains things to you very well. I can understand Bulgarian pretty well but am very hesitant to speak, so she pushes me out of my comfort zone but makes me feel confident to try and never makes me feel stupid. lf you’re like me then she is the perfect teacher!

It’s been almost two months since I started learning Bulgarian with Nina, and her teaching style is incredible! She is attentive, patient, and fun. Before starting the lessons, I didn’t understand a single word, and now I already feel confident enough to try buying something, chatting with a taxi driver about the weather, and more.
