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!

I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)!

I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying.

Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together.

All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level.

Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like.

Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.

Taking time to practise speaking the language you are learning is crucial in the development of your active vocabulary. This will allow you to communicate with greater fluency and confidence.
You can suggests topics or discuss a variety of topics like hobbies and passions, work and travel or anything that you would like to work on. Throughout the class I will keep track of any and all vocabulary that you were unfamiliar with and go over them with you as well as send the list to you at the end of the class, to keep track of words and expressions as you encounter them.
I have several games that I believe to be well suited for the learning of vocabulary. These will add an element of fun to the process of learning.

In this semester, I teach Arabic to non-native speakers using the "Arabic at Your Hands" method, one of the best methods for teaching Arabic to non-Arabs. This method is distinguished by its smooth and gradual approach, which helps students learn the language in a natural and enjoyable way.

In my classroom, I teach the Arabic language to non-native students using the curriculum “Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk,” which is one of the best curricula for teaching Arabic to non-Arabs. This curriculum is distinguished by its smooth and gradual approach, helping students learn the language naturally and enjoyably.

I begin the lesson by introducing the topic in an engaging manner, using pictures and audio clips to grab the students' attention. I then ask them to read aloud to improve their pronunciation and develop a flowing reading. Afterwards, we discuss meanings and synonyms to deepen their understanding of the text.

Then, I ask them to read aloud to improve their pronunciation and accustom them to fluent reading. After that, we discuss meanings and synonyms to deepen their understanding of the text.

In each class, I provide opportunities for students to speak Arabic, asking them to form sentences and small conversations to apply what they have learned. I also use writing and practice exercises to reinforce grammar and vocabulary.

A calm, structured space to think clearly and move forward.

These sessions are for people who want honest reflection, better self-leadership, and practical next steps without overthinking or pressure.

What we can work on:

- Clarity on goals, priorities, and “what matters most”
- Decision-making (when you feel stuck or torn between options)
- Building confidence & self-trust
- Habits, routines, and simple accountability systems
- Communication: boundaries, difficult conversations, authenticity
- Social/dating dynamics, presence, and “showing up” with more ease
- Transitions (new job, new city, study stress, identity shifts)

How sessions work:

- Short check-in + define the focus for the session
- I listen closely, reflect back patterns and ask targeted questions
- We turn insights into one clear action plan (small, doable steps)
- Optional follow-up notes / accountability for the next session

Important note:
This is coaching/mentoring, not psychotherapy. If you’re dealing with severe anxiety, depression, trauma or a crisis, I strongly recommend working with a licensed professional.
