Meet Your Mentor
Hello! I'm Ilona, and I've been a private teacher for more than 7 years of experience! I'm holding a PhD in Philosophy, which was taught in English.
Throughout all my lessons, I have always focused on making my students feel comfortable with my unique, unboring way of teaching!
I'm adapting each lesson to the level of the students, age, and I'm very patient in order for the students to be able to learn better & achieve their results in the best manner. From time to time, I'm also organising English-speaking & other educational events.
And most importantly, I'm very passionate about teaching. Kids, Teenagers, and Adults are all welcome in my classroom or online.
The Process With Me
We Will Learn Useful Native Expressions
We begin with your goals and daily reality in Bulgaria. What you need to say, hear, and understand to live comfortably and confidently.
Learn What You'll Actually Use
You'll learn through real-life situations. You will use vocabulary & phrases in your every-day life. Every lesson gives you practical words and expressions you can use the same day.
Speaking From Day One
You'll start practicing speaking quickly. Our method helps you gain confidence, correct pronunciation naturally, and stop being afraid of speaking with locals.
Understand and Connect With Locals
I'll show you how Bulgarians really speak and think, so you won't just translate words. Much better, build real connections and friendships.
See Progress You Can Feel
Week by week, you'll handle daily life on your own, understand conversations around you, and feel like you belong here.
What our Students Say About us
"I learned about Lonnie from my colleagues who had already been studying with her. She explains grammar very skillfully, patiently, and calmly and has an individual approach. The lessons take place in an extremely pleasant classroom atmosphere, without losing time. They cover grammar, comprehension tasks, and language exercises that help to improve real-time speaking skills. The schedule is in line with my free time and there are options to catch up if I miss a lesson. Thanks to Lonnie for putting all her love into making me look forward to her classes! I highly recommend her!"

''A friend of mine has recommended Ilona's services to me. I called her because I needed to practice my English. I had lived abroad and used the language for a long time, but I had a lot of difficulties in terms of grammar. Now we are working on clearing up the mistakes that vaguely I felt that I was doing, but which I did not recognize well, nor had any idea how to overcome. At the same time, I am also enriching my vocabulary. The lessons are interesting and at the same time useful, Ilona always manages to challenge me, but also encourage me to stay motivated. In class, we focus on discussions and practice of the given material, always discussing current topics - this helps me remember words and expressions more easily. I definetely recommend her services!"

"I needed a tutor who would know what I wanted, put up with me, admire my progress, be patient, and clearly explain and correct me whenever necessary. Then I found Ilona on the Internet - I immediately tried to contact her and persuade her to become my English teacher. I am so glad she agreed to take care of me. Now, after a conference down, a thousand crazy demands from me and adequate responses from her, I have been in a happy academic relationship with this woman!"
