Aleksandar Stoqnov

Aleksandar exceeded my expectations this lesson! I had given him a list of words I was studying beforehand, and he thoughtfully structured the session around them. We started with a quick alphabet recap and a few tongue twisters to warm up and practice pronunciation. Then, he provided me with a short text he had written using my vocabulary list; I read it aloud and translated it, picking up some new words along the way. We also did practical role plays, like hiring a taxi (from the phone call to arriving at the destination) and going grocery shopping. It was so helpful to use the words I had been studying in realistic contexts, while also learning many new, useful phrases. Throughout the lesson, Aleksandar was incredibly accommodating, encouraging, and helpful. I enjoyed it!

I'm very happy with my classes and feel that I'm making progress to function in different role play situations. The classes are proving to be very beneficial. Recommended!

Aleksandar was very helpful and we were able to review a simple Bulgarian text. He provided me with positive feedback regarding my pronunciation and clarified a few things that I didn't fully understand. He has a pleasant manner and I can recommend him as a good Bulgarian tutor.

Aleksandar was very flexible and allowed me to take the lead in deciding what and how I wanted to learn, which I truly appreciated. He was very encouraging and genuinely invested in helping me learn Bulgarian. He also thoughtfully asked if I had any questions about my upcoming trip to Bulgaria, and kindly answered all of them, which made me feel extra supported :)

Alex is helping me with my rusty Bulgarian. I've been able to review a lot of Bulgarian vocabulary and I'm starting to feel more comfortable with things I learned some time ago. I hope in 2025 that I'll be able to make progress to speak and participate at a conversational level.
