Friendly, fun and relaxed teacher with empathy and a smile! Don't worry about making mistakes when you're learning- it's normal!

I live in Bulgaria, in a tiny village up high in the wild Balkan mountains. Nobody else lives in the village, just me! I live with my two dogs and 3 cats and it's very, very quiet! So one of the most important things for me living here is music, I love music and I'm always looking for something new to listen to, so let me know who your favorite song, or singer is and I'll listen to them! I also love film and watch a lot of movies. People are very important to me, I am very grateful for my family and my friends and I love meeting new people so teaching online is a great way for me to do this. I also love nature and walk every day in the forests around my house. I also like gardening, herbal medicine, politics, art, psychology and learning about different cultures and folklore. I have been learning the Bulgarian language for the past six years now, so I know what it feels like for you Cambly students who are learning English! It's so important to practice and even if I still make mistakes, I really love being able to have a conversation with local people and friends here in my new Bulgarian language. Oh, and I'm also learning to cook....so maybe you have some cooking tips or a favorite recipe to share with me?
