Hi, I am Hatice from Istanbul.

I HAVE BEEN TEACHİNG ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE FOR 25 YEARS.
I am a native speaker of Turkish and was born in Istanbul.

I have been teaching Turkish to foreigners and I have taught hundreds of students from all ages and professions for more than 20 years. I am a professional English teacher but I like teaching Turkish more as it is my mother tongue and it is a great pleasure for me to share its secrets and beauty.

While teaching I also love giving some useful information about the culture, people, cuisine, films and literature in Turkey to help you get connected to Turkish culture. I prepare written and verbal dialogues in the areas the student is interested in.

I am from Istanbul but I traveled almost all cities, mountains, rivers, lakes in Turkey. I am a person who likes less traveled roads and back streets. Traveling around the world and reading on the areas of spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and literature are my number one hobbies. I lived and worked in London, Toronto, and S. Korea. Living as an expat and learning several languages have helped me having sympathy with my students. Motivation, feeling relaxed and setting realistic targets, in the beginning, are usually the first thing to go.

As for my formal education, I studied Economics, International Relations, Western Philosophy, and American language and literature at the university (MA and BA). And after my 40 years old, I learned classical Arabic and Persian and started to study Islamic spirituality at the doctorate level. I taught English at Prep. school at Istanbul Technical University and Yeditepe University and am retired. Ever since I could remember I have been a teacher. Now I only teach Turkish privately and translate classical novels from English to Turkish. I translated 12 books from English to Turkish.

I teach Turkish that is tailored for each student. Each student is unique for me and I know that every student has her/his own way of learning.
If you are a beginner I give a short lecture about the history of Turkish and its characteristics and help you find your way in this very logical, consistent and elegant language. You understand that Turkish is different but that does not necessarily mean difficulty.
From the first lesson, you start speaking Turkish and find yourself in a dialogue.

I can teach at my place and your place (all around Istanbul).

I use several books using a grammar-based approach integrated with communicative methods to boost the development of all language skills. But we always focus on TALK, TALK, TALK. As a language learner for many years, I know one can learn, improve and take pleasure in a foreign language only by talking and communicating. It is essential to get direct pleasure from what you have learned. My aim is to motivate and inspire you to speak Turkish ignoring minor mistakes and without thinking grammar.

I try to keep in contact with my students almost every day through whatsapp and email. And start some short dialogues.

Hi! I am an experienced English and Turkish Tutor who has been working with students from all around the world for more than 3 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 3 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.

🖐🏻 HI, SALUT, MERHABA! 🖐🏻
How are you doing? Comment allez-vous? Nasılsınız?
Thanks for having a look at my profile!
Here is the pathway we will follow in our lessons!
We will start our lessons by learning the most basic skills such as correct pronunciation and simple grammar rules.
We will continue to improve our speaking, listening and grammar levels by learning new informations step by step.
Based on my 13 years of experience, I think that A1 level is a very important period in language learning. When learning any language, beginner level students should learn it in the correct order and important details should be explained well by practising previous ones. Students at more advanced levels, such as A2, B1 or above, also need to practice their skills at the previous level thoroughly to improve their language skills. I try to provide good teaching by paying attention to these important points in my lessons. I keep our lessons' notes in a word file. After our lessons, I send you back all the additional notes and exercises that we covered in our lesson as a Word file.

I'm a Turkish language and literature major who's been teaching Turkish since 2018. Turkish is my native language but I also speak English very fluently.

My Turkish lessons are based on the communicative approach but I also believe a solid knowledge of grammar is very important. So I adopt a good mix of the two!

I hold a TÖMER Turkish language certificate and I am currently a dentistry student studying fully in Turkish, which allows me to teach both daily conversational Turkish and academic/university-level language.

In my classes, we focus on:
- Speaking and listening for daily life in Turkey
- Grammar explained clearly in Persian
- University and academic Turkish
- Medical and dentistry-related vocabulary (if needed)
- Exam preparation and practical usage

Lessons are adapted to each student’s level and goals, whether you are a beginner or already living and studying in Turkey.

You can take English or Turkish lessons tailored to your personal goals, level, and learning pace. My classes are designed for learners who want clear structure, meaningful practice, and steady progress, rather than random conversation or textbook-only lessons.

*** Turkish lessons ***

As a native Turkish speaker with strong academic training in language teaching, I help learners understand not only what to say, but also why the language works the way it does. In my lessons, I address not only language form, but also the cultural and pragmatic aspects of Turkish as used in everyday communication. My lessons bring together native-speaker intuition and academically grounded language-teaching expertise. Turkish lessons are offered as Turkish as a foreign/second language and are especially suitable for non-native speakers. Lessons focus on:

✔ Speaking for daily and professional situations
✔ Clear and systematic explanations of grammar
✔ Vocabulary development in meaningful context
✔ Cultural and pragmatic aspects of Turkish

*** English lessons ***

With a BA and MA degree in English Language Teaching (ELT) / English as a Second Language (ESL) and over 16 years of teaching experience, I support learners in developing accurate, confident, and effective use of English. My lessons are informed by contemporary approaches to second language learning and focus on helping learners understand not only how to use English, but also why it is used in certain ways across different contexts.

Lessons integrate form, meaning, and use, combining clear explanation with active practice. Drawing on my academic background in language education, I design lessons that are structured, goal-oriented, and responsive to individual learning needs. English lessons are suitable for learners at different levels and are particularly well suited for adult learners, university students, and professionals. Lessons focus on:

■ Developing speaking fluency and confidence for daily, academic, and professional communication
■ Clear and systematic explanations of grammar, applied directly in meaningful contexts
■ Vocabulary development through authentic and purposeful use
■ Academic and professional writing skills, with structured guidance and targeted feedback
■ Pronunciation and clarity to support natural and effective communication

*** How the lessons (both Turkish & English) work:

➤ The first lesson includes a needs analysis and a brief level check to identify your goals and current proficiency.
➤ Lessons follow a clear structure while remaining flexible and responsive to your progress and needs.
➤ Active practice is central to every session, ensuring continuous engagement and effective learning.
➤ Targeted feedback is provided during and after lessons to support steady improvement.
➤ Optional, time-efficient homework may be included to reinforce learning between sessions.

*** Who these lessons (both Turkish & English) are for:

◆ Adult learners and university students who want purposeful and structured language learning.
◆ Professionals who need Turkish or English for work-related communication.
◆ Learners who prefer a structured and systematic second language learning process that integrates modern language-learning strategies with practical application.
◆ Students who value depth, clarity, and strong academic grounding in their lessons.
◆ Young learners and students who needs help in their studies/homework.

*** If you are looking for thoughtful, well-structured language lessons with a strong pedagogical foundation, these classes are designed for you.
