About Me

I have been an English teacher for the past 11 years in middle school, high school, and college environments, and absolutely love helping students of any age grow and develop in their skills. My favorite methods of teaching involve interactive activities in which students can practice skills in a fun, engaging way.
My husband and I are new to the Geneva area, and we are enjoying the international community that this area boasts. I am from California, USA, originally, and I love spending time in the outdoors hiking, jogging, walking, and exploring.

Gamze
Experienced English Teacher (B.S.Ed.) / Gifted Education Mentor (M.S.Ed.)
Hi there! I am an English teacher with 10 years of experience. In addition to teaching at school, I give interactive and holistic English lessons to groups or individuals. My academic field is the education of gifted students. I also conduct out-of-school support activities with these students and provide counseling to parents. Before we start working together, I offer a free initial meeting to get to know you and understand your needs. I am based in Haarlem, the Netherlands but I also offer online classes all over the world. I believe that any kind of effective learning is an adventure that begins with a personal bond and ends with autonomy. Peter Drucker says, "Learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change, and the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn." In this age, every paradigm is changing very fast, so the teacher must help students find out how they learn best. Instead of continuing to deliberately learn something for years, let's find this "know-how" for English and ourselves together!
