I have taught English to hundreds of learners from diverse backgrounds, most recently with the British Council Sofia and Learnlight Holland. I work primarily as a freelance English teacher, supporting private individuals and students at different levels, including high-school learners preparing for university studies. My teaching experience also includes corporate English instruction for business clients and online group teaching. Before focusing fully on freelance work, I worked as a financial journalist and editor. This background gave me strong expertise in financial, business, and press language, which remains one of my key professional strengths. In recent years, I have devoted much of my time to writing and dramaturgy. I have also spent over 10 years translating theatre works for the British Council Sofia, including projects connected to the Royal Shakespeare Company and the London National Theatre. My academic background includes advanced study in linguistics, Czech language and literature, scriptwriting, and English language teaching. I also hold several internationally recognized language and teaching certifications, including CELTA, DELTA modules, and Cambridge Proficiency in English. I speak multiple languages, including Bulgarian, English, Spanish, German, Czech, and Russian. I enjoy working across cultures and disciplines, and I bring a strong combination of teaching, writing, translation, and editorial experience to my professional work. ## Professional area ### [Marketing](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/marketing.md)[Teacher & Coach](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/teaching.md)[Writing & Content Creation](https://jobicy.com/resume-category/writing.md) ## Skills ### [Communication skills](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/communication-skills.md)[Content Development](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/content-development.md)[Curriculum Development](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/curriculum-development.md)[Editing](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/editing.md)[Journalism](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/journalism.md)[Proof Reading](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/proofreading.md)[Public Speaking](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/public-speaking.md)[Writing](https://jobicy.com/resume-skill/writing.md) ## Education Jun 2025 DELTA Module 3, Advanced Diploma in English Language Teaching @ Cambridge Assessment Jun 2024 DELTA Module 1, Advanced Diploma in English Language Teaching @ Cambridge Assessment 2021 CELTA Certificate of English Language Teaching @ Cambridge Assessment 2007 Certificate of Proficiency in English (C2) @ University of Cambridge 2003 Master of Arts in Linguistics; second major in Czech literature and language @ University of Sofia Thesis defended in 2003. 2023 DELE 1 Certificate in Spanish (C1) @ Instituto Cervantes 2005 - 2007 Graduate course in scriptwriting @ New Bulgarian University 2005 Certificate @ European Journalism Institute, Prague Scholarship holder of the US foundation TFAS. 1998 - 1999 One-year study sojourn, focus on History of Art @ Charles University, Prague Scholarship by the University and the Czech Government. 1992 - 1997 Diploma @ National School for Ancient Languages and Civilizations Latin and Ancient Greek studied. ## Experience May 2024 - Present Corporate English Teacher @ British Council Online teaching groups from the Black Sea region.
