Part 5/9:
While visiting family in Bulgaria, Alex discovered her inadequate grasp of the Bulgarian language and opted to stay for a year to improve it. During this time, she began working as an English tutor, which led to meeting her husband. When the job became untenable due to the family dynamics, Alex pivoted again, this time towards online English teaching.
