Prepare lesson plans
-
Teach pupils according to the national curriculum
-
Mark students’ work and provide feedback, criticism, encouragement, and support
📝 They may also help students prepare for crucial exams and admission tests.
🎨 Occasionally, they supervise students during events, projects, cultural outings, field trips, and excursions.
👨👩👧 If on a long-term assignment, supply teachers may meet with parents to discuss academic progress at parents’ evenings.
📚 Supply teachers must keep skills fresh, staying up to date with new teaching methods and the latest curriculum developments.

📚 We are always learning, every day. Whether we are aware of it or not, we’re cut out to be lifelong learners.
🌍 My native language is Bulgarian. When I was 7 years old, learning languages became my hobby and passion. By the age of 17, I was trilingual, and by 30, I became a polyglot. Back then, I did not know that one day my hobby would become my future profession—something I would work on for the rest of my life.
💡 I believe that multilingualism is first and foremost a hobby. Learning languages is incredibly interesting because every language gives you the opportunity to learn new things, not only about the language itself but also about the related countries and cultures. This knowledge is a real treasure for personal development.
🌐 We live in a time where our communication possibilities have expanded greatly. Platforms like Viber, Skype, WhatsApp, Messenger, and others allow us to make video calls to any place on the planet. If you speak multiple languages, it’s much easier to form and maintain relationships with interesting people.
🧠 Some think that the language you speak defines your thinking, but I believe it’s culture that shapes your mindset. I speak 6 languages and can think in English, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, Greek, or Russian with the same result. When learning a foreign language, I first learn a foreign culture, because language is built on culture. This enlarges my consciousness, teaches me new ways of thinking, and makes me more flexible and open-minded.
🎯 Multilingualism is, above all else, a hobby—a very useful one. I am fortunate that my hobby has become my profession and work, which I love deeply. When you work at what you love, time stops, and everything feels magical—like in a world of fairies. Time can pass in just 5 minutes, yet so much happens.
💖 When you work on something you love, you can turn the impossible into possible, but only with love and persistence.
🍳 In my spare time, I also love to cook. I wouldn’t call myself a master chef, but my family and friends value me as a very good cook. I’m always looking for new recipes and techniques, which is easy these days thanks to the Internet, my bread maker, and cooking appliances. I enjoy keeping my family and friends guessing what my next culinary masterpiece will be.
