Since the beginning of February, we have added a modern Language Center to the educational facilities of Varna University of Management.

It provides several types of language services that could be used by all kinds of learners. The way the classes are organized and delivered go beyond the conventional forms of language teaching. The classes are tailored to the exact needs and goals of the learners.  The language lessons are shaped according to the personal needs of the learner – without a fixed number of lessons, but based on the principle of “as many as needed” in order to achieve the individual’s goals.

Here are the key options:

– Individual or small group sessions (up to 4-5 people);

– English Immersion fast formula classes for people planning work, study or a continuous stay abroad;

– On-site workplace trainings- Preparation for IELTS;

– Bulgarian language for foreign speakers;

– Online sessions, if needed, with excellent technical support and learning efficiency

The center is situated on the VUM campus in the town of Dobrich – 3rd floor, room № 2. Subscriptions and classes are scheduled by appointment. The users of the services of the center are not required to buy learning materials, but use those developed in accordance to their individual needs. Initially, the goals are specified individually followed by a short placement test. The number of sessions is determined accordingly in order to achieve the set goals.

The language center is managed by Dragomir Tzukev, a long-time high school and college teacher of English and French in Bulgaria and the United States as well. He wrote or co-wrote a number of articles on the topic “Bulgarian educational reform”. In 2018, he presented a comprehensive original project on a new educational design at the forum “Dobrich in the future”. He is a co-author of the successful program for educational innovation which has been implemented in Rayko Tsonchev High School since 2018. Dragomir was twice awarded the “Diploma for Contribution to the Development of Education” in Dobrich”. He graduated with honors in Computer Technology for Educators from the University of San Diego, USA, prior to being nominated and included in the Who’s Who among American Teachers Journal, in which only 15% of the United States teachers are listed. Nominated for “Best Teacher” by the Board of Directors of the Spokane School Department, Washington, USA and a founder and a leader of the French Club at Don Lugo High School, Chino, California. Being dedicated to teaching and crossing the borders of the conventional classroom, Dragomir Tzukev is the creative mind of the Language Center. His dedication makes him an innovator while his achievements are the guarantee for the success of his endeavors.
