Simka Stefanova has dedicated her professional life to the English language. After graduating from the First English High School in Sofia, she studied at the University of Portsmouth, where she earned both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Management and Marketing.

During her studies and professional development, Simka discovered that teaching — especially business-related subjects in English — is where her true passion lies. This background helps her connect English lessons with real communication, academic confidence and practical professional situations.

Simka expanded her teaching experience through online educational projects, creating engaging films and interactive educational content in collaboration with the UK Academy of Higher Education and the Virtual University of Bavaria. She has also co-authored a Mathematics textbook for Economics and contributed to Cambridge OCR exam materials.

She spent six years teaching English at the American College of Sofia, where working with young people became one of her most rewarding personal and professional achievements. At the American College, Simka refined her ability to adapt lessons to students’ individual English levels, learning styles and goals.

As an accredited English teacher, Simka focuses on effective communication. For her, good English teaching means much more than explaining grammar: it means understanding students’ challenges, building their confidence and making learning enjoyable, useful and rewarding.

At Got Your English, Simka teaches English courses across different levels and supports learners with General English, Academic English, exam preparation, project preparation, teen English courses and business-related topics. Her lessons are structured, encouraging and designed to help students feel more capable when using English in real situations.
