Private English Lessons from a Teacher Graduated from Foreign Language Education at Boğaziçi University

From 3.8 € /h

The content of my lessons totally depends on my students. The content and process of my courses will be based on your wishes and needs (Business English, English for personal purposes, preparation for specific exams, spoken English, English for research paper / essay writing, etc.). I teach my lessons in an energetic and interactive way. I avoid teaching by memorization and prefer to teach my students the logic behind certain structures, and how/why/when to use it. Apart from my own lessons, I try to make the learning process more natural and fun by using movies, music, various applications and sites when needed.

About Me

Hi!
My name is Dennis, I'm Dutch and I moved to Turkey when I was 6 years old. Therefore, both Dutch and Turkish are my native languages. I know English at C2 level and Spanish at B1 level. The reason I put an emphasis on this is the fact that since I know the language learning process very well, I know at what I have to pay attention to while teaching and where my students might have difficulties. I am a senior Foreign Language Education student at Boğaziçi University. In terms of my teaching experience, I had both corporate and personal business experiences over a period of 2 years. During these 2 years, I have worked in jobs such as a volunteer English teacher at TOÇEV, a summer camp assistant English teacher at TEVİTÖL, and my current English private lesson that has been going on for 6 months now.

Merhaba!
Adım Dennis, Hollandalıyım ve 6 yaşındayken Türkiye'ye taşındık. Dolayısıyla, hem Flemenkçe hem Türkçe ana dillerim. İngilizceyi C2 seviyesinde, İspanyolcayı B1 seviyesinde biliyorum. Bunu dile getirmemin sebebi, dil öğrenme sürecini çok iyi bildiğim için, öğretirken nelere dikkat etmem gerektiğini ve öğrencilerin hangi noktalarda zorlanabileceğini biliyorum. Boğaziçi Üniversitesi İngilizce Öğretmenliği son sınıf öğrencisiyim.
Deneyimlerim açısından 2 senelik bir süre içinde hem kurumsal hem de kişisel iş deneyimlerim oldu. Bu 2 sene içinde TOÇEV'de gönüllü İngilizce öğretmeni, TEVİTÖL'de yaz kampı yardımcı İngilizce öğretmeni ve şu an devam eden 6 aylık özel dersim gibi işlerde çalıştım.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

The SAT test is taken by high school students to demonstrate to colleges what the prospective student knows and how well they can apply their knowledge. There are three aspects of the test: reading, writing, and math. SAT scores are sent out to your desired colleges and universities as part of the admissions package.

Study your SAT with me and let me help you pass. I come with 5 years of professional experience in SAT prep.
I am well vested with the British and American curriculum and I am very competent. I strive creating trusting relationships with students, parents, and other staff I teach students on full-time and part-time basis from The USA, The Caribbean, The UK, INDIA, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, German, France, Italy and South Africa.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
