At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies the belief that every child deserves a nurturing and supportive environment to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. I value the uniqueness of each student and celebrate their individual strengths, interests, and learning styles. I firmly believe that education should empower students to become confident, curious, and compassionate individuals.

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!

Hi All,
thank you for checking out my course.

This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul.

I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work.

You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

This is individual Japanese/Japanese language instruction for primary and secondary school students whose native language is Japanese or who are growing up in a bilingual environment.
By reading aloud a variety of texts and writing compositions, students will gradually improve their Japanese skills.

・Learning programs adapted to each level, objective and environment
・Those who want to improve their Japanese skills in a bilingual environment
・Those who wish to take entrance exams or pursue higher education after returning to Japan

Living outside of Japan, knowing the world of languages other than Japanese, and knowing the language of Japan, which is far from Europe, all have the potential to broaden one's horizons and the world. It is an irreplaceable experience. I would like to use my experience living in Europe as a child and my university studies as a returnee in Japan, and help them learn Japanese together so that they can develop Japanese as an important language for them.

Je propose d'aider les scolaires des classes de CP aux classes de 3ième à comprendre les règles de la grammaire française, à les appliquer dans leurs différents travaux d'écriture ainsi qu'à s’exprimer correctement aussi bien à l’écrit qu'à l'oral. Je les prépare également à réussir avec brio leur premier examen, le Brevet des Collèges.

I'm a TEFL-certified teacher of English as a foreign language with 3+ years of experience teaching at a private bilingual school in Thailand.

I know how to help my students break the language barrier, make them confident speakers, and help them be able to use English in real communicative situations.

I have a degree in English Philology, which gave me a deep understanding of linguistics and how languages are acquired, and I always try to apply that knowledge in my work. I have a neutral accent and a deep knowledge of phonology, which helps me teach English pronunciation successfully. I can teach my students to produce both American and British neutral accents and understand the differences between them.

I prefer a communicative approach and always try to maximize student talking time in my classes. Also, I love using the TPR (Total Physical Response) and TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) approaches in my classes, because they are extremely beneficial for young learners and increase their interest and motivation.

Do you want to learn to read or improve your reading level?
I would be happy to help you make progress at your own pace and according to your level.
My ambition is to help you discover new horizons through mastering reading.
Not only will you be able to decipher French with ease, but I will help you improve your intonation so that you can read with ease, conviction and pleasure.
As a mother of three children whom I taught to read myself, I will guide you on the path to independence with patience and kindness.

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.

Deutsch ist eine komplexe Sprache. Mit der richtigen Unterstützung kann man jedoch schnell und erfolgreich Fortschritte machen.

Ich studiere derzeit Jura an der Universität in Basel. Dadurch werde ich intensiv mit der deutschen Sprache konfrontiert und lese sehr viel, was mein Wissen zusätzlich vertieft. Ich habe ein großes Interesse an der Sprache, zumal sie auch meine Muttersprache ist.

In diesem Kurs lernst du Wortschatz und Grammatik der deutschen Sprache, angepasst an dein aktuelles Niveau. Außerdem erhältst du Buchempfehlungen, um dein Wissen zu festigen. Du wirst sehen, dass die deutsche Sprache gar nicht so schwer ist, wie man vielleicht denkt.
