Maya Campbell

Maya was born and raised in Bulgaria, a country where knowing languages is a must, especially now that it is a member of the European Union. She holds a bachelor’s degree in pedagogy of the teaching of Bulgarian and English as a foreign language and a master’s degree in educational management from the University of Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria. Maya received an academic scholarship via the European Union’s Erasmus Mundus Programme to study in Spain at the University of Granada, Spain. The years she studied and lived in Spain as a student marked her life in a way that now she loves the Spanish peoples, cultures, and language as much as she loves her own.

In her home country of Bulgaria, Maya taught Spanish and English to adults and children at a private language institute and performed a great deal of translation and interpretation work, some of which was for the Educational Department of the Spanish Embassy in Sofia.

She has always loved her job as a teacher, and after moving to Nashville in 2007 to get married, her biggest hope was to continue to teach Spanish. Maya is happy to have been a Spanish instructor with the Tennessee Language Center (TLC) since then and to personally confirm what she had heard about the students and the teachers – they are the best! She looks forward to becoming part of your Spanish language learning journey, and she is excited about every single step of it!
