“Working with IH Sofia has given me the opportunity to teach a range of levels with the perfect mix of support and autonomy that I need to create engaging and effective classes. I was given the opportunity to complete the DELTA qualification with financial and moral support. Subsequently, I was given the opportunity to grow professionally by gaining more responsibility in the school as a whole and receiving promotions. My experience has been deeply rewarding.” - Lyndsey
