Bulgarian Lessons by an Experienced Language Tutor
Hello! My name is Emilia and I am an experienced language tutor and translator from/to Bulgarian, Spanish, English and Dutch. My biggest passion are foreign languages and I have passed this passion to many of my students throughout the years. Despite the fact I have a Master's degree in Economics and International Business and I have worked few years as an economist, my heart always takes me back to my teaching and translation jobs. With more than 15 years of teaching experience, a great level of patience and dedication to my work, and a great number of happy students, I am here to help you learn Bulgarian at your own pace and convenience. Hope to hear from you soon :-)

Emilia is een zeer flexibele docent. Indien het voor mij moeilijk lukte om een moment af te spreken, dan vond ze toch een plek door met iemand te verwisselen. Ze is heel vriendelijk en enthousiast, ze legt alles goed uit en heeft veel geduld! Ze zet goed in in het spreken zo spreek ik vlotter Bulgaars. Emilia geeft zeer motiverend les en komt op tijd & leeft haar afspraken na!
Ik ben zeer tevreden van haar!

Emilia is a very experienced teacher. I enjoy every lesson with her, she is able to make it fun, but also full of structured information. In this way I was able to see a progress without much effort on my own. I work full time, therefore the lessons with her became my oasis of learning bites outside work.
I strongly recommend her as a teacher. Due to her knowledge of other languages she is able to pinpoint why I make some of the mistakes (I sometimes translate the structure of sentences from other languages), and in this way the learning process is easier .
She is always pacient in explaining every new grammar topic and I appreciate her skills in coming up with captivating conversation topics in the language learning process.

Emilia is really an amazing teacher. Very kind in communication yet very sharp in spotting and correcting mistakes. She gives the lesson a good balance between asking questions so I can practice talking in general and structure in adding new materials by following the book. I hope she keeps going this for a while because I hope to learn from her for many more lessons!

Wonderful and positive person and teacher, involving and managing to motivate in a positive manner and keeping the interest in moving forward with the lessons. Excellent development in the language skills of my daughter, after only a few months of lessons once a week. Strongly recommended!

Emilia is an amazing teacher! She could easily adapt the classes to my prior level of knowledge and accommodate my wishes and questions. The classes are interesting and fun and with exactly the right pitch of challenge, and the material appropriate and informative.
Thank you, Emilia, I hope I will soon find time to continue :)

Ich hatte meine erste Stunde mit Emilia und sie hat die richtige Kombination aus locker und lustig sowie strukturiert und auf meine eigenen Bedürfnisse abgestimmt. Ich kann sie nur jedem empfehlen.
Update:
Mittlerweile hatte ich schon einige Stunden und kann jedem/jeder Emilia nur wärmstens empfehlen!
Sie schafft es alles sehr einfach zu erklären und zügig voran zu kommen, ohne dabei zu viel auf einmal zu machen. :)

Emilia is a very kind and supportive teacher. With a reasonable amount of lessons I am now able to conduct business meetings completely in Dutch and feel more confident after each lesson. I would highly recommend Emilia as a teacher to anyone interested in learning a new language. Learning a new language is a journey of self improvement and opens you up to new cultures and friends since you can have more authentic conversations. Do yourself a favor and learn a new language!
