Young Learners English Lessons (Early Literacy and Phonics) - Learn to read and write!

From 42.08 € /h

My English lessons designed for young ESL students, focus on phonics and early literacy skills.

These are interactive lessons, carefully crafted to engage young learners, making the process of learning English enjoyable and effective. I understand the importance of building a strong foundation in phonics, as it lays the groundwork for reading, writing, and overall language development.

Throughout our lessons I will guide students through various phonics principles, teaching them the sounds and letter combinations that form the building blocks of the English language. From identifying consonants and vowels to blending sounds and decoding words, students will gain the essential skills necessary for reading and pronunciation.

In addition to the comprehensive lessons, my students also receive free access to an exceptional reading platform tailored specifically for their needs. In addition to this platform, I also provide customized resources tailored to my individual students and families! Therefore, my students are equipped with games to continue their learning at home!

My goal is to foster a love for reading and language in your young learners, equipping them with the tools they need to become confident English speakers!

Experience / Qualifications

With over 8 years of experience as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and backgrounds, helping them enhance their English language abilities. My teaching journey has taken me to diverse locations such as Seoul, South Korea, Madrid, Spain, and Australia, where I gained valuable insights into different cultures and teaching methodologies.

During my time in Seoul, I taught English as a Second Language to students of various age groups, ranging from young learners to adults. This experience allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by ESL learners and implement effective teaching strategies to address their specific needs.

In Madrid, I had the opportunity to work in a bilingual school, teaching English to students in the Primary and Intermediate levels. This experience honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans, fostering a supportive learning environment, and promoting language development across different curriculum areas.

Upon relocating to Vancouver, I joined the West Vancouver school district, working as a primary and intermediate English and French teacher. Beyond my work in formal educational settings, I have also dedicated a significant portion of my career to one-on-one tutoring. Over the course of 8 years, I have worked closely with students of all ages, tailoring my teaching approach to meet their specific goals and learning styles. Whether it was helping young learners with basic language skills or assisting adults in advancing their English proficiency, I have always strived to create personalized learning experiences that foster growth and confidence.

Through my diverse experiences as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have developed a deep passion for empowering students to overcome language barriers and reach their full potential. My commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, combined with my extensive expertise, allows me to guide students on their language learning journey with patience, empathy, and enthusiasm.

I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started teaching Turkish while studying Turkish Language and Literature at university. I worked in a language school and at universities. I have been teaching Turkish professionally for more than 16 years. I also taught Turkish for 5 years when I was a university student. In 2018, I obtained a TESOL certificate and also began teaching English.

I teach both adults and children. Creating a comfortable learning environment for my students is one of my top priorities. If you would like to learn Turkish or English in a consistent and structured way, I would be happy to work with you.

I hold firmly to two main principles: creating a comfortable space for learning and building an encouraging atmosphere.

My students often describe me as patient, positive, and well-organised. Over time, I’ve found my own way of making Turkish feel easier, more enjoyable, and more practical to learn.

I love shaping each lesson around my students’ interests, needs, and learning styles. I adapt my teaching to the needs of students with special conditions, such as ADHD and OCD.

In my lessons, you’ll never feel afraid of making mistakes. Before long, you’ll start noticing them on your own and correcting yourself naturally.

Even though I use a communicative approach, my lessons are supported by a solid understanding of grammar, as Turkish has a very different structure.

I use the course book set prepared by Istanbul University. It follows a strategic approach to learning Turkish and includes all language skills—reading, grammar, writing, listening, watching, and speaking—from A1 to C2. All of these skills are essential for conversation.

I teach English for the A1 and A2 levels.

The workbook offers many exercises for homework or revision, and I support the book with my own authentic materials. I also use an interactive board that you can view anytime, and you can edit it as well. Repetition-based speaking practice plays an important role in my lessons.

I speak English well, and a bit of Italian, and I have also studied Persian and German grammar. I am interested in literature.

One-on-one lessons on Apprentus are just for you. Are you ready to see the benefits and start speaking right away? We will not forget to smile while doing fun and interesting lessons! :)

Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you!

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.
