Neofit was a monk associated with Rila Monastery and a Revival teacher. In monitorial teaching, advanced pupils help others under the teacher’s supervision. This allows many children to learn together when teachers are scarce. Tables, books and writing exercises belong to that organisation. Became a teacher in Gabrovo in 1835. Prepared lesson tables for monitorial teaching. Worked on a Bulgarian grammar. His work connects monastic scholarship with the new secular school.
