About Me

Hello, I'm Nagehan. For the past 5 years, I've been teaching Turkish to students through both online and face-to-face lessons. During this time, I've had the opportunity to meet many students from different countries around the world. Additionally, with my own experience in learning a foreign language, I understand the challenges that can make learning difficult and sometimes discouraging.

As an experienced guide in overcoming these challenges, I not only teach my students the language but also support them to facilitate their learning process. I truly enjoy chatting with my students about Turkish culture, cuisine, films, travel, music, and many other topics, and sharing insights in these areas.

Beyond my passion for teaching and learning languages, I love traveling, playing the guitar, watching movies and series, and meeting new people and cultures. Embarking on a new adventure with each of my students and discovering the beauty of language together excites me. If you're ready to learn a language and explore new cultures, I invite you to join me on a journey full of learning!

Education

In 2007, I graduated from the Department of Primary Education at 9 Eylül University in Izmir, Turkey. Then, in 2018, I participated in the Turkish Language Teaching Certification Program for Foreigners at Marmara University in Istanbul and obtained my certification.

I tought Turkish to children aged 7-12 at the Turkish Consulate in Dubai for 2 years. Additionally, I hold a certificate in Teaching Turkish to Foreigners, and I have been teaching Turkish through face-to-face and online lessons on the Preply platform for over 5 years.

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.

I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)!

I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying.

Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together.

All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level.

Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like.

Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.

🖐🏻 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.

- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to present and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.

Pendant nos études, il arrive qu'on ait une difficultés scolaire.

En m'appuyant sur les travaux de l'enseignant, j'offre un accompagnement sur mesure. Ceci permettrait d'aider à lever les blocages de l'étudiant et à travailler sur ses lacunes.

Le parent idéal est celui qui sait identifier les problématiques scolaires et les communiquer au professeur particulier.
Tandis que l'étudiant idéal est celui qui ose dire quand il n'a pas compris, sans peur du jugement.

Faire confiance à l'enseignant est la clé : il offre une chance non seulement pour acquérir les savoirs de base académique et culturel, mais aussi apprendre à vivre en communauté. L'étudiant pourrait ainsi devenir un bon citoyen et développer son autonomie ou son autodidactie.

Chaque semaine, nous programmerons une heure de rendez-vous. Le but sera de fixer un objectif pédagogique et de un problème, avec une méthode précise.

Concernant le temps et la durée de travail, tout dépend de la demande de l'étudiant. Je discuterai bien volontiers de ce dernier point par téléphone ou en visioconférence.

En cas de question, je reste à votre disposition.
