I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started teaching Turkish while studying Turkish Language and Literature at university. I worked in a language school and at universities, and I suppose I gained success. 😀 I have been teaching Turkish professionally for more than 16 years. I also taught Turkish for 5 years when I was a university student.

In 2018, I obtained a TESOL certificate and also began teaching English. I teach both adults and children. Creating a comfortable learning environment for my students is one of my top priorities. If you would like to learn Turkish or English in a consistent and structured way, I would be happy to work with you.

Learning a new language opens a new window into a person; teaching Turkish is the same for me. As I build stronger relationships with my students, I notice their engagement with the Turkish language deepens.

I speak English and a bit of Italian, and I have also studied Persian and German grammar. I am interested in literature.

I hold firmly to two main principles: creating a comfortable space for learning and building an encouraging atmosphere.

My students often describe me as patient, positive, and well-organised. Over time, I’ve found my own way of making Turkish feel easier, more enjoyable, and more practical to learn.

I love shaping each lesson around my students’ interests, needs, and learning styles. I adapt my teaching to the needs of students with special conditions, such as ADHD and OCD.

In my lessons, you’ll never feel afraid of making mistakes. Before long, you’ll start noticing them on your own and correcting yourself naturally.

Even though I use a communicative approach, my lessons are supported by a solid understanding of grammar, as Turkish has a very different structure.

I use the course book set prepared by Istanbul University. It follows a strategic approach to learning Turkish and includes all language skills—reading, grammar, writing, listening, watching, and speaking—from A1 to C2. All of these skills are essential for conversation.

I teach English for the A1 and A2 levels.

The workbook offers many exercises for homework or revision, and I support the book with my own authentic materials. I also use an interactive board that you can view anytime, and you can edit it as well. Repetition-based speaking practice plays an important role in my lessons.

Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you!

This class is for people who want to improve their English speaking skills. My Goal is to make my students learn English like a native, hence my students are only allowed to talk in English with me. I use a lot of external material in my class such as books, movie clips, and university lectures to help my students understand the language thoroughly. I also give regular homework to my students which usually are worksheets, movies, and books in accordance to their language level.

I can give face-to-face or online lessons in Istanbul and surrounding areas.

I also teach English to those who do not know English at all, know it very little, or think that they cannot learn English at all.

My specialization is English exam preparation, English and translation lessons for beginners. So far, I have given private lessons to hundreds of students of all ages and almost all of them passed their exams successfully.

I also give Turkish lessons to foreigners. (English explanation) For 20 years, I taught Turkish to foreign general managers and senior managers of many large companies.

I also give general English lessons to people or groups who are starting to learn English from scratch. I guarantee speaking and understanding English for those who have never taken an English lesson before or who have difficulty learning English.

I also provide written and verbal translation from English to Turkish or from Turkish to English. So far, I have translated 12 books from English to Turkish in the fields of literature, music and social sciences.

In language learning, the student's liking his teacher and enjoying his work, learning without getting bored and having fun in a comfortable and peaceful environment increases his study efficiency. My students are successful because they enjoy studying. I can also teach primary school Mathematics and Science courses in English.

I also provide WRITTEN TRANSLATION from English to Turkish and Turkish to English for your important texts and theses, and ORAL INTERPRETATION for job interviews, meetings and phone calls in companies.

🖐🏻 HI, SALUT, MERHABA! 🖐🏻
How are you doing? Comment allez-vous? Nasılsınız?
Thanks for having a look at my profile!
Here is the pathway we will follow in our lessons!
We will start our lessons by learning the most basic skills such as correct pronunciation and simple grammar rules.
We will continue to improve our speaking, listening and grammar levels by learning new informations step by step.
Based on my 13 years of experience, I think that A1 level is a very important period in language learning. When learning any language, beginner level students should learn it in the correct order and important details should be explained well by practising previous ones. Students at more advanced levels, such as A2, B1 or above, also need to practice their skills at the previous level thoroughly to improve their language skills. I try to provide good teaching by paying attention to these important points in my lessons. I keep our lessons' notes in a word file. After our lessons, I send you back all the additional notes and exercises that we covered in our lesson as a Word file.

To communicate in Turkish has never been this easy, Turkish, one of the most difficult languages, will be easy to learn, but here what i say is everyday language.
