I teach German and guide students through university applications in Germany and Austria.
BulgariaWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently teaching German at Berlitz BG in Sofia, delivering in-person and online courses for adults, business learners, teens, and children. I also advise students at EDLANTA Education Abroad on choosing and applying to universities in Germany and Austria.
I've taught German across high school, language-centre, and Montessori settings, including implementing International Baccalaureate curriculum at BRITANICA Park School. My work is grounded in multilingual communication, intercultural competence, and adapting instruction to learners' needs.
Before education, I coordinated broadcasting at Bavarian Television and worked as a media analyst at Pressrelations, monitoring German, English, French, and Spanish media.
