Turkish Lessons (In-Person OR Online) for Adults and Kids from an Experienced and Patient Teacher For All Levels-Learn&Practice&Speak!
I have been teaching Turkish for 18 years in Istanbul. I started to teach when I was studying the Turkish Language and Literature. I worked in a language school and at the universities, 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!” The 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.
On the online lessons, I send an e-mail after every lesson. That word file includes a vocabulary list, sentences (corrected and uncorrected versions, you can compare both of them easily), grammar points,s and homework for revision. In this way, you can find everything in a file well organized. When we have a face to face lesson, I give a hard copy of this list after every lesson. The lessons could be at my home office or in my student's house or office. I sometimes meet with my students in a coffee shop, I try to prefer silent places. :)
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 pleasant professions.
When teaching Turkish, promoting cross-cultural awareness forms an important part of my lessons. Teaching the language involves both 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, music and like visiting museums. I always share the activities with my students.
I also teach Turkish to young learners. I started to study Child Development at Istanbul University as a second university in 2018. We say in Turkish, “Studies have no age!"
If you want to speak Turkish well, please contact me. It is fun, and we will smile during the lesson!

Extra information
The main book is clearly structured with a strategic approach to learning Turkish by using all the language skills – Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking from A1 to C2 level. Additionally, the workbook includes a lot of exercises for doing homework or revision. Doing homework is important for your development but I am not really strict about that. :)Location

Amazing
Başak is a wonderful teacher! I enjoy our online lessons. She is a very well prepared and patient teacher.
I've been studying with Başak for over 1 year and have found the lessons really helpful. I feel like I'm advancing quickly and feel motivated to put in the time and energy to learn. I'll be continuing to study with her for the foreseeable future. She's a great, patient and encouraging teacher who really understands the language and how to teach it well.
I've had on-site classes with Başak and intend to continue online when returning to Germany. Classes are well structured and generally held in Turkish, only sometimes we resort to English, mainly for abstract grammatical questions. Başaks knowledge about grammar and the way (other) languages work is a big plus when talking about such topics. Classes generally focus on learning by doing, though.
Learning is both efficient and fun. Having worked with many language teachers before, I wholeheartedly recommend Başak as a teacher.
Also, Başaks place is well connected to public transportation. It can quickly be reached from other districts that are popular with tourists such as Beyoğlu or Sultanahmet.
This was my first lesson and I think I will be happy ........We had some technical problems at the start but got on very well
...

Send a message explaining your needs and Başak will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.

Online or In-Person Turkish Lessons with a Certified Native Teacher
This class is for any language level.
If you have taken Turkish lessons before, I will determine your level, firstly. We will do this in our first lesson. Then I send you the book's pdf version. I use a book written by one of Turkey's leading universities in the lessons. This book is prepared to improve all language skills. (Daha önce Türkçe dersi aldıysanız öncelikle seviyenizi belirleyeceğim. Bunu ilk derste yapacağız. Sonrasında size kitabın pdf versiyonunu göndereceğim. Derslerde Türkiye'nin önde gelen üniversitelerinden biri tarafından hazırlanmış bir kitap kullanıyorum. Bu kitap tüm dil becerilerini geliştirmek üzere hazırlanmıştır.)
I will take notes during the lesson and you will be able to see them online. This report will include the mistakes and corrections, the list of newly learned words, and grammar information.
Our coursebook also has a workbook. If you want, I can give you homework.
If you have never taken Turkish lessons before, you will be able to make sentences in Turkish after 15 lessons on average and when you complete the A2, you will reach your goals with basic Turkish skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). (Ortalama 15 ders sonra Türkçe cümleler kurabileceksiniz ve A2'yi tamamladığınızda temel Türkçe becerileriyle ilgili hedeflerinize ulaşmış olacaksınız.)
Derste görüşürüz!

Swedish course for adults and teens! (All skill levels)
I am a Swedish native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides Swedish, I speak English, German, Spanish, French and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you Swedish(in a fun and relaxed manner)! Therefore, I offer a money-back guarantee: Should you not be satisfied with the results of a course with me, I will reimburse you.
I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations.
I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :)
Do you already have Swedish knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together.
All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Sweden. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you swedish food, music and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level!
Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of which I even have met in real life.
I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages!
So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book an initial meeting in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs and wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you.
See you soon!
Ses snart!

Grace
Native English teacher from England (London) and enthusiast
I give my lessons in English. However, If I have a student that speaks French then I speak in French, but only to clarify an explanation that could be difficult to understand in English. I give lessons at my students' home or online. When I give lessons at my students home, I give copies of guides to work with and exercise sheets to put in practice what we learn during the lesson, and when I give lessons online, I prepare an interactive PowerPoint, also composed of guides and exercises, and at the end of each lesson, I send the PowerPoint to my students by email. I try to include in a one-hour lesson, reading, writing and speaking exercises, and as for the comprehension part, the students naturally acquire this skill through the lesson as I mostly speak in English.
For who has a specific goal to reach, I can improvise. Are you preparing for your next English exam or are you planning to travel to an English-speaking country and want to feel comfortable speaking with locals? I can help.
