Hello! I’m Izidora — a professional writer, literary translator, and creative coach with more than a decade of experience helping people find clarity, precision, and power in their words.

My background spans both the literary world and the business world. I’m an award-winning copywriter who’s led campaigns for global brands, a former hiring manager who knows what makes a standout interview or application, and an MBA with expertise in marketing and communication. I’ve also been interviewed for TV, radio, and magazines, so I understand how to help clients express themselves authentically and confidently under pressure.

As a published author and translator, I bring a deep understanding of language, storytelling, and structure to every session. I’ve taught and given workshops at the University of Chicago, Oberlin, and Columbia College, among others, and I love working one-on-one to help you strengthen your voice & write with impact.

Subjects I tutor:

Essay Writing & English – structure, argumentation, grammar, and clarity
Creative Writing & Literature – developing voice, storytelling, and close reading
Interview Preparation – articulating strengths, mock interviews, presentation coaching
Marketing & Copywriting – persuasive writing for business, branding, and web
Bulgarian Language – grammar, writing, and conversational practice

My sessions are collaborative, encouraging, and results-oriented. I tailor my approach to your goals — whether you’re polishing an essay, preparing for an interview, or building confidence as a communicator.

So let's chat.

Excellent, knowledgeable on numerous topics

Izidora was very knowledgeable not just on marketing concepts and strategy, she brought a writer's perspective which took my presentation to another level. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic help!

Working with Izidora was a game-changer for my presentation prep. I came in with scattered notes and a fuzzy narrative; I left with a crisp, confident story I can stand behind. In one session, she helped me clarify my value proposition, tighten my examples, and translate complex work into clear, memorable talking points. What stood out most was her ability to listen and spot the strongest thread in my story. She asked sharp questions, then turned my answers into concise, high-impact language I could actually use. Beyond the tactics, Izidora’s calm, focused presence made me feel prepared rather than rehearsed. I left with a clear narrative, practical frameworks, and a lot more confidence. If you want strategic, actionable coaching that actually moves the needle, work with Izidora.
