Merhaba! I’m Dilek, a Turkish teacher from İstanbul, and a native speaker of Turkish. I've been teaching Turkish as a second language for five years now, two years being at the French consulate in Istanbul. Before that I taught English as a second language for five years at one of the top universities in Turkey, where I also did my major in Translation and Interpreting. Apart from these institutions, I’ve been giving private lessons for more than ten years. I have a teaching certificate from Oxford University. I speak English and French, as well.
During our classes, I will encourage you to speak and use what you’ve learnt actively starting from the very first moment, even if you are a complete beginner. I like teaching in a friendly, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. I plan lessons considering all kinds of skills like reading, listening, writing, and speaking. But the main content and speed of the lessons focus on the student’s needs. In addition to a main course book, I make use of extra exercises, homework, activities, pictures, drawings, games, videos, songs, and so on.
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions in mind, or simply book a free trial lesson! Görüşmek üzere...
