about
8 years of teaching on the slopes of bansko. 500+ riders from 12+ countries. every lesson shaped around the person, not a script.
who i am
hi, i'm alex.
for the past 8 years i've been teaching snowboarding on the slopes of bansko — from first-timers strapping in for the very first run, to advanced riders refining their technique.
over 500 students from more than 12 countries have ridden with me. every lesson is a real conversation — no conveyor-belt group sessions, no rushed drills.
your pace. your line. your progress.
approach
what makes a lesson with me different.
- your pace
- no rushed drills, no standard curriculum. the session plan adapts to how you're riding that morning, not how a textbook says you should be.
- two languages
- fluent english and bulgarian. i switch mid-sentence if that's what makes the feedback land clearer.
- small groups only
- one-on-one by default. groups max out at four riders at a similar level, pre-checked over whatsapp before we meet.
- flexible meeting
- start time, meeting point, session length — all adjustable. tell me your schedule and we'll build around it.
