About Me
italki teacher since Aug 11, 2019Interest topicTravelPets & AnimalsGaming
I am artistic, enthusiastic and fun! In my free time I paint silk and play video games, also board games. I also like learning languages myself. I have 2 cats and 2 fish, lately I'm trying to decorate my house with plants, but they keep dying on me, even the cactus, I guess I don't have a green thumb... I can't ride a bike, I live near a ski resort and never been skiing. These are the things I'm really bad at! I don't like talking about myself, it's taking me forever to write this... How about you tell me?Me 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 was very welcoming and created a nice learning environment. I have very basic Bulgarian but Nina was very patient, explained things well and spoke solely in Bulgarian which is an excellent way to learn!
Highly recommend Nina for your Bulgarian lessons.

We had a fun looking at a B1 Bulgarian exam. Nina has great materials available, and is good at explaining things in a non-verbal way in order to avoid us talking in English. Thank you for a lovely lesson Nina!

Lovely to have another lesson with Nina after a break of over 13 months. I really appreciate it that she doesn't mind my very unorthodox approach to learning languages but is happy to work in a way which suits me. I feel I am understanding more and more of what she says in Bulgarian too.
