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 has been an outstanding Bulgarian teacher for our pre-teen and teenage sons over the last few years. Growing up outside of Bulgaria with only one Bulgarian parent, they are not fully native speakers nor studying it completely as a foreign language. Todor has been very patient, expertly finding out where their gaps in knowledge are and guiding them to fill these gaps. He engages in conversations of their interest and finds resources for them to read. It's helped them greatly to have Bulgarian conversations with someone outside of their immediate family and expand their vocabulary. I am really glad we have found Todor to boost their Bulgarian skills.

Todor and I caught up from the last couple weeks, as I had been sick and out of town for work reasons. It was good to talk about current events that have happened- like the Trump attempted assassination, the Euro Cup Final, among others.

Todor gave me good advice on how to grow a business idea of mine. It was very thorough and well thought out, yet simple and easy to understand (I had to translate some of the words in my head, but that is expected at my level). We caught up a little bit and had a good talk.
