Do you want to improve your Bulgarian or English language skills? Look no further! My name is Todor and I’m from Bulgaria. I've graduated university from University of Leeds, United Kingdom and I’m also certified in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). I enjoy teaching languages to both beginners and intermediate level learners. I am also a certified nutritionist, so I can help you practice nutrition and health related English. I love playing the guitar, travelling, learning new languages and activities that keep me physically active, such as hiking, table tennis and weightlifting.
Me as a Teacher
I am passionate about teaching because I can share my knowledge with others, which I find very rewarding. My personal experience learning new languages allows me to put myself in my student’s position and understand their point of view. I am kind and patient, so I make my students feel relaxed throughout the lessons. I also make every teaching hour interesting and exciting in order to keep my students engaged and motivated.
My lessons & teaching style
My way of teaching is positive and encouraging. Everyone is unique and learns in different ways, so I plan and adapt my lessons and teaching methods according to my students. I believe the best way to learn a new language is by having natural conversations where we speak about various topics that we find interesting, as well as discussing different articles, song lyrics or other forms of media. I would also be happy to go over grammar and vocabulary related to the topic we are discussing. After having the initial lesson, I identify the strengths and weakness of my students and make adjustments to the lesson if necessary.

I had a great first lesson with Todor, and I look forward to many more! He probed my knowledge of Bulgarian in order to determine how to proceed with future lessons.

Todor and I had an unofficial brainstorming time for a business idea that I have. It was helpful to not only do so in Bulgarian, but also from a Bulgarian perspective!

Today, Todor and I spoke about weddings and some traditions in them. We also made a recording of a task I get to do for my work, and I look forward to using that for homework to better my understanding of the responses.

Today, Todor and I talked about dreams we have had recently as well as what work I have been doing this week. It was very helpful using the words I need to make business proposals in Bulgarian. He also gives thoughtful input on different names for the locations.
