Başak - Maltepe$37
Trusted teacher: 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!

Selin - Üsküdar$40
Trusted 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 :)

Trusted teacher: I have been teaching Turkish for 5 years from now on. When I had a chance to be a student in the Anatolian Teacher High School in Istanbul in 2008 and Boğaziçi University in 2012, my biggest goal was to be a reliable role model for my students in the future. I am very happy that I have now made this dream come true since the year I entered university. Until this time, I have taught private lessons at secondary, high school and university level to numerous students from Turkey and abroad. I still continue to give private lessons on the online platform and teach Physics at an International School in Istanbul where California Education Standards (Cognia) are adopted. I strive to progress depending on the age and level of the student. For this, I aim to explain myself, the way I study and understand my student's expectations and level. After the level has been determined, it is of great importance for me that the student knows the lesson plan and draft as well and adheres to the jointly agreed schedule. In this course, you will be able to learn, Vocabulary Sample Sentences Grammar Cultural Insight for Writing, Speaking, Listening and Reading skills I will follow the order of the lesson notes typed below for A1 Level: Self Introduction Greetings Manners Asking How Someone Is Making Apologies Refusing Politely Talking About Your Age Talking about Nationalities Asking How Much Something Costs How to Say Prices Asking What Someone is Doing Asking Directions Possession Talking about Your Likes /Dislikes Ordering at a Restaurant Asking for the Bill Offering an Invitation Talking On the Phone

Learning Turkish in fun meetings with a certified teacher (Üsküdar)
Selin
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.

Online or In-Person Turkish Lessons for Adults and Kids from an Experienced and Patient Teacher For All Levels-Learn&Practice&Speak! (Maltepe)
Başak
I am following a class with Başak to learn turkish. The lessons are held in english. This course covers pronunciation, grammar and free speaking which are also adapted to daily life situations as well as speaking about yourself. I have experienced a very well organized and structured teacher on a professional basis. The teacher gives clear instructions, pays attention to the pronunciation and corrects you when needed, which is crucial for the turkish pronunciation. The course fees contain the tuition as booked and course material as the class is accompanied by a book (workbook and exercise book) and audio files. The books are sent to you in advance, makes it very convenient to take a print out or as a digital version on your tablet/PC/phone. Between the lessons homework will be assigned and checked by her via mail and discussed in the next lesson. So far, I am very happy with the lessons and I am also confident that I will improve my turkish steadily in the future with her. Thanks
