Conversational English & Communication Skills – Native Teacher with 18+ Years of Experience

Hello! I am a native English teacher with over 18 years of experience helping students and professionals develop confident, natural, and effective spoken English. My lessons focus on real communication, not textbooks or memorized phrases. Whether you need English for work, travel, social situations, or international environments, I help you speak clearly and comfortably in real-life conversations.

I work with learners at all levels, from beginners who want to start speaking English, to advanced speakers who want to sound more fluent, natural, and professional. My approach is practical, supportive, and results-oriented, with a strong focus on speaking, listening, and interaction.

Focus on Real-Life Communication
My conversation classes are designed to help you communicate naturally and confidently in both everyday and professional situations. Lessons are built around realistic, real-life scenarios, from casual conversations and social interactions to travel and daily communication. We also work on workplace communication, including meetings, phone and video calls, teamwork, and giving or receiving feedback, as well as more formal professional situations such as presentations, interviews, negotiations, and networking. Special attention is given to cross-cultural communication, helping you feel comfortable and confident in international environments. Throughout the lessons, you will learn how to express your ideas clearly, react spontaneously, ask questions naturally, and maintain smooth, engaging conversations in English.

Communication Skills Development
In addition to conversation practice, I focus on helping you develop the communication skills that are essential for speaking English effectively and confidently. We work on improving fluency and reducing hesitation so you can speak more smoothly and naturally. You will expand your practical vocabulary and learn natural expressions that native speakers actually use, while also refining your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. A key part of my approach is building confidence and reducing the fear of making mistakes, allowing you to speak more freely. I also help you structure your ideas clearly and coherently when speaking, so your message is easy to follow. Throughout the lessons, I provide continuous feedback and gentle correction, always aiming to help you sound natural while maintaining accuracy.

Personalized Lessons – Tailored to You
Each student is different, which is why every course is fully personalized. At the beginning, I assess your level, goals, and communication challenges, then design a learning plan adapted to your needs. Whether you want to improve social English, professional communication, or overall speaking confidence, lessons are structured around your objectives.

Topics, pace, and activities are adjusted regularly to ensure steady progress and motivation.

What You Can Expect from My Conversation Classes?
* Speaking-focused lessons with maximum student talk time
* Interactive role-plays and real-life scenarios
* Clear, constructive feedback on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation
* A supportive and relaxed learning environment
* Flexible online lessons adapted to your schedule

There is no pressure, no judgment, and no unnecessary theory—just effective practice that helps you speak English with confidence.

Who Are These Classes For?
* Professionals who need to communicate confidently at work
* Students and adults who want to improve spoken English
* Expats, travelers, and international professionals
* Learners who understand English but struggle to speak fluently
* Anyone who wants to sound more natural and confident in English

Whether your goal is to feel comfortable in everyday conversations, communicate effectively at work, or express yourself clearly in international settings, I will help you develop the speaking skills you need.

Let’s work together to make English feel natural, confident, and truly usable in your daily and professional life.

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!

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University

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.
