Me as a Teacher
"To learn someone's language is to learn their soul" - that's how the saying goes. And it could not be more right.
I have been teaching English, Hindi, Russian, and Urdu for more than 10 years now and I am quite experienced in helping people wreck down that 'language barrier' wall.

I use the grammar translation method, as well the CLT to get my students to gain confidence in speaking and, most importantly, comprehend its structure. I teach to THINK like a native. And once you get the flow of the language that the native speakers know, you'll speak like one!
My lessons & teaching style
The ultimate way to actual fluency does not lie through the lexis solely.
In order to be fluent aka be confident when speaking your target language, you better feel it.
How does one do it? It's easy - rid your mind of your first language perceptions, think like a native speaker!

Hi, I am Hatice from Istanbul.

I HAVE BEEN TEACHİNG ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE FOR 25 YEARS.
I am a native speaker of Turkish and was born in Istanbul.

I have been teaching Turkish to foreigners and I have taught hundreds of students from all ages and professions for more than 20 years. I am a professional English teacher but I like teaching Turkish more as it is my mother tongue and it is a great pleasure for me to share its secrets and beauty.

While teaching I also love giving some useful information about the culture, people, cuisine, films and literature in Turkey to help you get connected to Turkish culture. I prepare written and verbal dialogues in the areas the student is interested in.

I am from Istanbul but I traveled almost all cities, mountains, rivers, lakes in Turkey. I am a person who likes less traveled roads and back streets. Traveling around the world and reading on the areas of spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and literature are my number one hobbies. I lived and worked in London, Toronto, and S. Korea. Living as an expat and learning several languages have helped me having sympathy with my students. Motivation, feeling relaxed and setting realistic targets, in the beginning, are usually the first thing to go.

As for my formal education, I studied Economics, International Relations, Western Philosophy, and American language and literature at the university (MA and BA). And after my 40 years old, I learned classical Arabic and Persian and started to study Islamic spirituality at the doctorate level. I taught English at Prep. school at Istanbul Technical University and Yeditepe University and am retired. Ever since I could remember I have been a teacher. Now I only teach Turkish privately and translate classical novels from English to Turkish. I translated 12 books from English to Turkish.

I teach Turkish that is tailored for each student. Each student is unique for me and I know that every student has her/his own way of learning.
If you are a beginner I give a short lecture about the history of Turkish and its characteristics and help you find your way in this very logical, consistent and elegant language. You understand that Turkish is different but that does not necessarily mean difficulty.
From the first lesson, you start speaking Turkish and find yourself in a dialogue.

I can teach at my place and your place (all around Istanbul).

I use several books using a grammar-based approach integrated with communicative methods to boost the development of all language skills. But we always focus on TALK, TALK, TALK. As a language learner for many years, I know one can learn, improve and take pleasure in a foreign language only by talking and communicating. It is essential to get direct pleasure from what you have learned. My aim is to motivate and inspire you to speak Turkish ignoring minor mistakes and without thinking grammar.

I try to keep in contact with my students almost every day through whatsapp and email. And start some short dialogues.

Hi everyone! I’m presently a student of Genetics and Bioengineering in Istanbul Bilgi University. As majority universities are leaning towards English as the primary source of instruction in Istanbul, I feel it is important to have full command over the language. I have studied English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology under the Cambridge Assessment International Education and have secured A’s and B’s in both my Ordinary and Advanced Level Exams. I had a 3.4 GPA in university.

My Biology, Chemistry, Physics and BILET test preparation classes will include detailed discussions of topics as well as solving examples and queries/homework questions.

Greetings to everyone. English has started to turn into a language that we use more than our mother tongue. In this context, we can teach and practice English to people of all age groups. We can help our young friends with their schoolwork and practice English with our elders. Our lessons will be online and taught in a very practical way. No one will be confused by annoying details, information that will be used in daily life will be given directly to the person!

Hello everyone :)

I have been living in Istanbul in Turkey. I have been teaching IELTS, TOEFL, ITEP, GMAT, GRE and general speaking for all ages. As a teacher, I have 10 years experience and in any platform I can enhance your English level.

Most of the people are prone to learn English, however this process may not be always possible. This stems from methods that the teacher utilizes. To have students learn the language cannot be provided with cliche and trite means. Without having sense of humor and without knowing the importance the acquisition of vocabulary and reading skills, how would it be possible to learn it? Grammar is such a thing which does not necessarily mean everything. In fact, in a balanced way it can be built up. Reading should be done compatible with learners level. Specifically, After you have read one page in any book, if there are more than 5 words, it posits that your level is not suitable to read and maintain. English learning is like a factory. Raw metarials which are listening and reading and after being processed them, they come up with an output such as writing and speaking.

In speaking section, acquiring words and practice are must. But it will be more beneficial if they are great mixture of grammar and vocabulary harmonically.

🖐🏻 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.

Hi. My name is Alex.
I'm a french teacher (native). I moved from Paris to Istanbul about 5 years ago and I've been teaching online and face to face ever since.
I can introduce you to this beautiful langage as much as I can help you to achieve a specific level or to prepare an exam like the Delf/Dalf for example.
But learning french is not easy and it requires personal practice as well. I recommend 2 hours of lessons minimum for beginners.
I can adapt the method to the age of my students.
A bientôt !

How easy will it be ?
It will not. French isn't known to be an easy language to learn and especially the spelling and the grammar can be tricky. The fact that there is no specific genre in Turkish make it a little more difficult when it comes to learn the vocabulary. Because, yes, a chair is feminine an a knife is masculine in french 😅

Whether you are a business professional who wants to hone their presentation or meeting skills, a medical professional (doctor, nurse) wanting to take to OET and focus on specific language skills (speaking, writing) or maybe a learner already at an intermediate level but willing to improve their casual speaking skills in a laid-back 1-to-1 setting, your tutor (that's me), with a BA and MA in English Literature and more than 12 years of teaching experience, will be assisting you to the best of his ability. Hopefully help you master what you want to learn!

See you,

Umut
