English and Russian language classes (Şişli, Istanbul)

Hi, I am Hatice from Istanbul I am a native speaker of Turkish. I have been teaching Turkish to foreigners and I have thought 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 the secrets and beauties of it. 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 diologues in the areas the student is interested. I am from Istanbul but I traveled almost all cities, mountains, rivers, lakes of Turkey. I am a person who like less traveled roads and back streets. Travelling 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 target 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 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 are 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 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 my place and your you 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 of 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 and inspire you to speak Turkish ignoring minor mistakes and without thinking grammar. I try to keep contact with my student almost every day through whatsapp and email. And start some short dialogues.

English language is a universal language, that as an individual I believe is extremely important for people of all ages all over the world. But don’t worry, it is never too late to learn a language because you are never too old. If you think it is too hard to learn, don’t worry, we have got you covered because we can help you read and write fluent English in simple ways, which will help you in your studies, in your business affairs locally and internationally, and you can easily travel the world without having any sort of communication barrier.

I teach English too students who are getting reading to apply for university where the medium of instruction is English or for their IELTS. My goal is prefect the listening and reading skills of the students especially through dialogue and conversation. I also teach World History at the high School level in the English Language.

I am specialized in teaching English to adults and students in international and private schools. For adults, this class offers a general English practice or IELTS test preparation depending on what the student is looking for. The lessons will first start by evaluating their abilities in the four main skills (Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading) then we can work together to plan the weekly lessons accordingly. As for the school pupils, the student shall present his/her previous test papers and results to identify his/her weaknesses and strengths. The second step is to follow the school's book(s) and curriculum (unless the parents wish otherwise). The classes consists of test revision, homework assistance and lots of practice. Any communication occurring during the class must be in English. The class usually consists of one student.

I am currently finishing my second year at McGill in the Dean's Honor List with a cGPA of 3.93. I can help with any business oriented classes (Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics and even Computer Sciences). Classes can be conducted online, at Bogazici (if you are a student) or at most a 15 minute bus ride from Arnavutkoy.

Hi, my name is Almasa. I am BA of English language and literature, besides that, I hold TEFL-TESOL certificate for 120 teaching hours from European Center for Education. I worked as an English teacher for three years, and during that period of time I worked with diverse students, starting from kids to adults. Therefore I can teach any age. Right now I work at Bahcesehir Koleji in Istanbul. As a teacher, I prefer to be open with my students, but also strict when it comes to fulfilling their duties. I believe that the key to good teaching is to make any topic or material comprehensive, dividing it into smaller units.

My aim is to create an environment where students will maximize their potential towards mastering the English language. We will focus on what the student needs the language for. The class will also focus on reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. This class will use a contextualisation appraoch in that feedback from students will guide the direction of the class. Since students are of different abilities the class approach will be constantly changing in order to meet the students needs.

I’m experienced in teaching 1-2-1 classes to Upper-Intermediate and Advanced Students, I'm specialised in teaching Business English and IELTS Preparation. I prepare my own lesson plans and teaching materials, which I consider as one of the most important stages of teaching. The effective lesson plans and appropriate teaching materials are the keys to engage the learners in the learning process actively and motive them.

A lot of people wish to learn English and speak it fluently, if that's the case, then this is where you need to take your lessons. If the student has a weakpoint, I spend more time on developing that skill. If the student lacks some writing skills, I provide more writing exercise. If the listening is the weakpoint, I spend more time on doing listening exercise. Moreover, I always give homework because it is never enough to practise only during the lesson. I mainly focus on vocabulary and how to pronounce words and sentences, then I start with basic conversations all the way up to advanced. I use excellent speaking activity, not only for intermediate English learners, but also for beginners. Sometimes course books get boring, but with the materials I use I can make students be up to date and learn vocabulary that is used in every day life and in real situations.I'm 100% sure that you will notice the difference immediately.
