About Me

Turkish learning like never experienced before!
No details left unexplained!
Grammar in its complete sense!
Unlimited concept-based everyday conversations!

Merhaba!
This is a certified Turkish language and culture teacher for both adults and children, with various experiences since 2011 in individual, classroom, and online courses in Turkey and abroad.

I have been working for numerous language and formal schools as well as embassies and cultural centers in Turkey, Italy, Japan, the US, and the UK including Berlitz, Innovative Language Learning, Verbling, Concept Languages, and Directors Languages, instructing in English, Italian, and Japanese.

I prefer proceeding with a constructive and conversational methodology for proper comprehension and confident learning of the Turkish language in the smoothest structure possible. That way, learners will have the freedom to make their own sentences once they are comfortable with the fundamental grammar and logic of the language, as well as the relevant vocabulary. I also enjoy making comparisons between world languages, clarifying to learners the origins of words, similarities in grammar, and contrasts in concepts.

I spend great attention to the needs, motivation, and interests of learners so that I can pave the best order of topics, and choose the necessary glossary in a sufficient amount. I guide them to clear their previous confusion about Turkish with simple and logical explanations. I also help them to realize that they are making stable progress and that the things they learn are essential and part of the everyday, living language.

I accumulated quite a rich resource of materials both written and audio-visual, including the prominent textbooks in the market, and a collection of various hardcopy and online varieties. Role-play dramatizations of real-life situations comprise an important part of classes. After each lesson, I provide learners with various supportive documents and exercises, as well as audio and visual practices if possible. When necessary, I can produce new material according to the exact needs and interests of my students. I also recommend some external sources to familiarize themselves with the language in their free time like popular songs and TV shows according to their personal tendencies. Overall, I am trying my best for their experience of learning Turkish to be efficient and fun, including related cultural explanations.
Teşekkürler!
