25 yıllık özel ders deneyimi olan seçkin bir devlet üniversitesinde İngilizce okutmanı olarak çalışmış her seviyede ve her yaş grubu için İngilizce ders veren işini çok severek yapan, genel olarak öğretmenliği çok seven bir öğretmenim.

YDS, TOEFL, IELTS, Proficiency, Hazırlık atlama, Yeni Başlayanlar İçin Genel İngilizce, Öğrenciler için derslere takviye, LYS ingilizce, İngilizce metin okuma, yazma, gramer, çeviri ve Yabancılara Türkçe dersleri veriyorum.

İngilizceyi hiç bilmeyenlere veya çok az bilenlere veya hiç İngilizce öğrenemeyeceğini düşünenlere de İngilizce öğretmekteyim.

Özel ihtisasım İngilizce sınavlara hazırlık,yeni başlayanlar için İngilizce ve çeviri dersleridir. Şimdiye kadar her yaştan yüzlerce öğrenciye özel ders verdim ve hemen hepsi sınavlarını başarıyla geçtiler.

Aynı zamanda Yabancılara Türkçe dersleri de vermekteyim. (İngilizce açıklamalı) 20 yıl boyunca çok sayıda büyük şirketin yabancı genel müdürlerine ve üst düzey yöneticilerine Türkçe öğrettim.

Sıfırdan İngilizceye başlayan kişiler veya gruplara da genel İngilizce dersleri vermekteyim. Daha önce hiç İngilizce dersi görmemiş olanlara ya da İngilizce öğrenmekte güçlük çekenlere de İngilizceyi konuşma ve anlama garantisi veriyorum.

i am a teacher who has 25 years of private teaching experience, has worked as an English instructor at an elite state university, teaches English at all levels and for all age groups, loves her job, and loves teaching in general. I can give face-to-face or online lessons in Istanbul and surrounding areas.

I give YDS, TOEFL, IELTS, Proficiency, Preparatory Skip, General English for Beginners, course reinforcement for students, LYS English, English text reading, writing, grammar, translation and Turkish lessons for foreigners.

I also teach English to those who do not know English at all, know it very little, or think that they cannot learn English at all.

My specialization is English exam preparation, English and translation lessons for beginners. So far, I have given private lessons to hundreds of students of all ages and almost all of them passed their exams successfully.

I also give Turkish lessons to foreigners. (English explanation) For 20 years, I taught Turkish to foreign general managers and senior managers of many large companies.

I also give general English lessons to people or groups who are starting to learn English from scratch. I guarantee speaking and understanding English for those who have never taken an English lesson before or who have difficulty learning English.

I also provide written and verbal translation from English to Turkish or from Turkish to English. So far, I have translated 12 books from English to Turkish in the fields of literature, music and social sciences.
I love reading books, taking photographs, traveling, writing, translating books, and learning foreign languages.
I am a graduate of Boğaziçi University. I completed my master's degree in two different fields. I am currently a doctoral student.
I have been a private teacher for 25 years.

I worked as an English instructor at a public and a private university. I lived and taught English in England, Canada and South Korea.

I teach English by developing a special program for you, using different documents, motivating you and making you love it. I do my job with great pleasure. I am interested in literature, Western and Eastern philosophies, theology, cinema, photography and music.

I teach without getting bored and by making people love it. But I am a disciplined teacher who gives homework and follows up on it. :)
In language learning, the student's liking his teacher and enjoying his work, learning without getting bored and having fun in a comfortable and peaceful environment increases his study efficiency. My students are successful because they enjoy studying. I can also teach primary school Mathematics and Science courses in English.

I also provide WRITTEN TRANSLATION from English to Turkish and Turkish to English for your important texts and theses, and ORAL INTERPRETATION for job interviews, meetings and phone calls in companies.

High School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material.

The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
-Linear Algebra
-Calculus
-Trigonometry
-Geometry
-Probability
-Set Theory
-Analysis

If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message!

Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you!

The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!

Hi! I am an experienced English and Turkish Tutor who has been working with students from all around the world for more than 4 years. I've been arranging Business English, Academic English, IELTS / TOEFL Exam preparation lessons as well as General Turkish classes from A1 to C1 with individuals from Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa and the Americas. I am ready to welcome my new students worldwide.

I focus on sharpening students' speaking skills in my classes. My main methodology is based on helping learners express themselves confidently and clearly in the target language. In 4 years of my teaching career, not only have I developed my own methodologies but also privatized classes and materials according to each learner's demands and needs. Besides, I support learners who face difficulties in prononcation during language acquisition with effective elocution lessons in both languages. Besides, I speak French.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any questions.

The best way to learn Spanish is by actively using the language. In this lesson, I help students step by step to improve their speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, and writing skills.

The lessons are practical, interactive, and tailored to the student's level and goals. We work with conversations, exercises, role-playing, texts, and everyday situations so that the language becomes immediately applicable. We can also focus on school assignments, exams, pronunciation, or building more confidence while speaking.

I pay close attention to clear explanations and active practice, so that grammar is not only learned but truly understood. Whether you are a beginner or already have more experience with Spanish, the lessons are tailored to your pace and learning style.

My goal is to make Spanish accessible, motivating, and practical, so that students can use the language with more pleasure and confidence.
