Learning Turkish in fun meetings with a certified teacher

Hello, my name is Selin and I am here to give Turkish lessons as a local speaker with the methods that I determine for one's needs for learning. It will be nice to spend time together!

I focus on language acquisition techniques for foreigners and refer to lectures as meeting rather than 'lecture'. I adopt an existential educational model because each individual's tendencies and interests to learn the language differ. I adopt Chomsky's language acquisition philosophy based on the idea that all languages ​​can be acquired without an intermediary language. (Of course, English support is provided at the beginning.)

1.) Which Materials Do I Use in My Turkish Language Education?

My course materials consist of textbooks in PDF format and audio materials. In addition, I am creating a lecture area on Microsoft's free application Onenote. I also prepare games such as 'taboo' as material according to the needs. In my sessions, I do many activities to help people gain speaking, reading, and listening skills at the same time.

2.) How Do The Lessons Go?

I teach in person or online through the application called "Zoom". I prefer individual meetings, but sometimes I can include local speakers. I am of the opinion that learning by having fun, talking, and experiencing is the most permanent one. For this reason, it is very important for me to have fun and talk about current examples in our daily life.

3.) Where Did I Get My Language Teaching Education?

From a prestigious university in Turkey (Istanbul University) I received the "Certificate of Teaching Turkish for Foreigners" in 2020.

More About Me


I care about getting to know new people and thus building new relationships. I like to learn, I like to teach. So, I travel to gain learning and teaching experience.

I have traveled to many cities in Europe and would like to travel more in the future.

I have been involved in theater and I like to speak my language in a good diction. I like to read and vocalize books.

My personal interests are contemporary art and philosophy. I love artistic production (painting and collage).
Maybe we'll talk about all this when we meet, huh? And you can tell me about your interests :)

Extra information

For online sessions, you need to have basic skills in Microsoft programs and applications such as "Zoom". If not, I can help you with the adaptation.

Reviews (2)

I can highly recommend learning Turkish with Selin, she is very caring and has a very balenced approach to teaching,, meaning she is challenging but still fun
Selin started to teach me turkish a year ago. We are doing classes online. She uses a great combination of different online programs, which makes the lessons very interactive. She bases her classes on the Chomsky method, which means that she mainly speaks turkisch, even if she is completely fluent in english. It might be a little bit challenging in the beginning. However, it is the best way to achieve quickly good results. I would say she is made to be a teacher, she has all the qualities for it: patience, structure, professionality, love for her language, excellent diction and an interest for ethymology, humour, creativity, and empathy. She is very open minded and respectful and has also experiences in learning languages (english, french and italien at least). She is teaching me turkisch since a year now, twice a week. After one year, - I can understand small talk conversation from turkisch people in Berlin - I can have a one hour conversation on a basic level only in turkish - I know a little bit more about the complex and fascinating turkish culture. I can warmly recommend her to anyone who wants to achieve solid but quick results and have a good time with a fascinating personality.

Learning and teaching languages is one of my biggest hobbies and I do it with passion in my spare time. I think teaching is a very important virtue and requires a great deal of understanding and patience. I have 3 years of experience in teaching Turkish and English. I aim to make you enjoy learning Turkish from A1 level to the most advanced levels, both in reading, writing and speaking. You will have a general understanding of Turkish right after you start the lessons and you may find yourself having daily conversations later on! I see making mistakes as a part of the learning process and I try to correct mistakes together so that you can learn in the most efficient way. I engage in daily conversations with you specifically to advance your speaking so that together we overcome your fear of speaking! If you have a lesson with me, I will assure you that I do not only intend to teach you Turkish, but will make a friendship with you and make you love the language more with easy learning techniques and necessary repetitions. When you start writing and speaking, you will talk about the topics you love and you will almost forget that you are in a lecture. We will make sure to practice speaking in every lesson and make sure you progress as quickly as possible.

Thaer
30 Hours Learning & Speaking program (Formal, Levantine, Gulf)
Hello everyone, I'm Thaer, a specialized teacher in Arabic (Formal, Levantine, Gulf) & Turkish language. Arabic: With over 10 years of experience teaching Arabic in Lebanon, Turkey and UAE, I've helped NGOs, journalists, and embassy staff swiftly grasp the language for effective local interaction and business. Additionally, I've supported young learners in understanding Arabic's structure, laying a strong foundation. Turkish: With 7+ years of teaching Turkish in Turkey and the Gulf, I've guided professionals from Turkish companies to fluent communication. Many aspire to converse locally or enjoy Turkish dramas in their native language, fostering rapid language acquisition. My approach integrates textbooks with customized materials to cater to diverse needs. Initially, I emphasize daily speaking, dedicating 4 lessons to language logic and memorization of essential verbs and prepositions. Gradually, we progress to mastering tenses and expanding vocabulary, focusing on practical application in real-life contexts. My ultimate goal is to foster fluent speaking skills, ensuring students can confidently interact and engage with locals from the outset. I will bring the rich cultural and linguistic experiences of Dubai, Beirut, or Damascus directly to you through my teaching expertise and immersive curriculum.

Online or In-Person Turkish Lessons for Adults and Kids from an Experienced and Patient Teacher For All Levels-Learn&Practice&Speak!
I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started to teach Turkish when I was studying the Turkish Language and Literature at the university. I worked in a language school and at the universities, and I suppose that I gained success. 😊 My achievements are directly proportional to my students’ success. My students are mostly teachers, consulate officers, international business people, and also travellers. I feel rewarded when I witness their progress in applying their Turkish language skills to their daily lives. Over the years, I have met hundreds of people from all over the world, taught Turkish, and told them about Istanbul and Turkey. Those people told me about their countries and learned to express themselves in Turkish. For example, I ask them: “Do you like Istanbul?” in Turkish it is “İstanbul’u surveyor museum?” or “ Traffic is very bad in Istanbul!”, “İstanbul’ da çok Trafik var!” A basic but correct conversation is really important for self-confidence in any language. If a learner can master basic sentence forms, the rest will come much easier. On the other hand, making mistakes is also very important. Especially, a learner can not speak without making a mistake the first and second time. My students are always varied and have diverse learning skills. My professionalism also allows me to tailor language education according to individual interests, needs, and capacities. In the classroom, I hold firm three main principles: first, providing a comfortable environment, second, creating an encouraging atmosphere, and third, establishing a collaborative instruction model. I consider that I developed an aptitude for making learning Turkish to become much easier, more enjoyable, and more practical for my students. I use a book prepared by a university in Turkey. I share the pdf version of the book for my lessons. I also adapt the materials according to the learner’s needs and support the book with my authentic materials. Even though I use a communicative approach, all my lessons are guided by a solid knowledge of grammar. I use Google Docs which includes a vocabulary list, sentences (corrected and uncorrected versions, you can compare both of them easily), grammar points and homework for revision. In this way, you can find everything in Google Docs well organized. How learning a new language opens a new window into a person, teaching Turkish is also the same for me! I was always interested in languages - I could speak a bit of Italian and learned Persian grammar except English. I always think about Istanbul -I was born and grew up here- it is a good place for self-improvement. First and foremost, Istanbul hosts international people coming from around the world. It is considering to me, I am lucky because I have one of the most pleasant professions. Promoting cross-cultural awareness is an important part of my lessons when teaching Turkish. Teaching the language involves the students and myself in a dynamic conversation about our cultural backgrounds. Teaching Turkish is in fact not only teaching a language but also teaching a culture. I am interested in cinema, and music and like visiting museums. I have published various movie and book review articles. If you want to speak Turkish well, please get in touch with me. It is fun, and we will smile during the lesson!
