Hello, my name is Tsvetelin. ‘Tsvete’ means flower (and color) in Bulgarian. Like the flowers I’m colorful – parent, engineer, teacher, musician.

I believe that by spending quality time with my children, teaching, singing, and creating stories together, I am developing as a person while also building a lifelong bond with them, which will serve as a support in difficult moments.

Combining my interest in education with my experience as a programmer, the idea for this project was born. Some of the models and rooms here emerged through the time spent with children.

Facts:

In addition to being an informal teacher like every parent (since 2012), in recent years I have often taken on a “formal” role as well. I have led several courses for children and parents on programming, virtues, music activities for children and parents, mathematics lessons, and a play and learning group in nature.

In 2015, together with my spouse, we organized a parent cooperative for children in the village of Bistritsa, where most children started to enjoy climbing trees and reading books.

As for my education, I am an IT specialist, an IT and computer science teacher, and an elementary school teacher. I have taken courses in Montessori education, Waldorf pedagogy, constructionism, and communication.

In 2003, I started working as a programmer. In 2006, I became a partner in a software development company and contributed to its development for 10 years (Dreamix). In 2016, I recorded an album and organized over 40 performances in the USA, UK, and Greece with the bagpipe ensemble Kaynak Pipers Band. I taught live and online lessons on playing the kaba gaida (bagpipe) to people from around the world, and I maintained an online bagpipe store. From 2017 to 2019, I focused on educational causes, such as the Virtues School of the Parents Teachers Children Foundation and the Elvena Workshop, and I underwent numerous training programs. Since 2019, I have been working in the IT industry as a freelance programmer, project manager, and software team leader.
