As a teacher with more than 20 years of experience in language education, I design my lessons with one main goal in mind: to help each student feel confident and motivated while learning Turkish. My lessons are interactive, student-centered, and tailored to the learner’s unique goals, background, and learning style.

At the beginning of our journey, I conduct a needs analysis to understand your level, interests, and objectives. Then, I create a personalized lesson plan that balances speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I use a communicative approach, which means you will be actively using Turkish from the very first lesson. We focus on real-life situations so that you can immediately apply what you learn.

To make learning dynamic, I combine a variety of resources: visual aids, online tools, role-plays, games, and authentic materials such as short videos, songs, and news articles. Grammar is explained in a simple and practical way, always connected to everyday usage. I also incorporate cultural elements into the lessons, helping you understand not only the language but also the richness of Turkish life and traditions.

My long teaching experience abroad has given me the ability to work with students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I am patient, encouraging, and dedicated to helping you progress step by step. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner, my lessons will give you the skills and confidence you need to achieve fluency in Turkish.
