ENGLISH: I have been teaching Turkish and Dutch to local and international adults and their children living in the Netherlands since 2020.
My main motivation for teaching my mother language is to contribute to Turkish children’s bilingual achievement and help Dutch-Turkish people close the cultural gap in their families.
My lessons are based on the needs of the individuals such as communication in daily life, reading business or project management documents and enjoying their time while exploring Turkish culture and cuisine.
*******************************
NEDERLANDS: Sinds 2020 geef ik Turkse en Nederlandse lessen aan lokale en internationale volwassenen en hun kinderen die in Nederland wonen.
Mijn belangrijkste motivatie om mijn moedertaal te onderwijzen, is om bij te dragen aan de tweetalige prestaties van Turkse kinderen en om Nederlands-Turkse mensen te helpen de culturele kloof in hun gezin te dichten.
Mijn lessen zijn gebaseerd op de behoeften van de individuen, zoals communicatie in het dagelijks leven, het lezen van zakelijke of projectmanagementdocumenten en genieten van hun tijd tijdens het verkennen van de Turkse cultuur en keuken.
*******************************
TÜRKÇE: 2020 yılından beri Hollanda'da yaşayan Türklere, yabancılara ve onların çocuklarına Türkçe ve Hollandaca öğretiyorum.
Anadilimi öğretmekteki temel motivasyonum, Türk çocuklarının iki dilde iletişimine katkıda bulunmak ve Hollandalı-Türk aile bireyleri arasındaki kültürel uçurumu kapatmalarına yardımcı olmaktır.
Derslerim, günlük yaşamda iletişim, iş veya proje yönetimi belgelerini okumak ve Türk kültürü ile mutfağını keşfederek keyifli vakit geçirmek gibi bireylerin ihtiyaçlarına yöneliktir.

Reviews (2)

Thorought, polite, responsible and caring teacher.
It was a smooth, but also very educational first lesson at Sumru's home. I took a beginners lesson and we started with the theory of vowels/sounds (Kalın & Ince ünlüler) and the alphabet. I really liked the focus that Sumru placed on speech. I received sufficient teaching material and was taught in both paper and online form. That's why I'm going again next week!

Homework tutoring,Online /In person Private lessons /Turkish tutoring/Conversation/Grammar/Writing/Reading/Homework
I am a Turkish teacher. I graduated in Turkey with a BA in Languages. The classes I offer are from basic to academic level, so for children, students, expats and adults. That focus is on learning grammar, speaking,, reading and writing. If you want to learn Turkish for vacation, work, family or just as a hobby, I can certainly help you. I use Turkish grammar books, podcast, websites for learning Turkish and other study materials. and the rate is lower from 5 lessons. Normally a student with a motivation to learn the language learns basic Turkish in 10 or 15 lessons. Both private and group lessons (The Hague) are available.

Nederlands en Engels / Dutch and English classes - Learn fast! Beginners and intermediate
Hi ya'll, I am a native Dutch speaker with several years of experience teaching foreigners (mostly expats) Dutch and English. Learn Dutch and/or English fast and efficiently. Learn it in your own way, at your own speed. I will teach you Dutch and/or English using the method that works best for you. I teach at a basic beginners level, intermediate and advanced level. The classes can take as long and often as you'd like. I am very flexible. Also, I can be quite strict so if you are looking for intensive guidance I can be the right teacher for you but if you want to learn the language in a more relaxed way (or for fun), that is fine as well and I will just go easy on you :) My classes mostly revolve around: grammar, pronunciation, daily useful expressions and vocabulary. We will be working on these aspects but if you have any other subjects of interest, we can work on those as well. Contact me for a class! I give both online and physical classes, in Den Haag.

Ozum

As a dedicated teacher, I am offering my services to anyone (at any level) who wants to learn the Dutch language. I have experience in teaching all age groups and I a motivated to keep the students engaged and enthusiastic. Next to Dutch, I speak English, French, German and some Spanish. I know what it is like to learn a new language and can adapt easily to different learning methods.

Catharina
Dutch for all levels, situations. Complete immersion.
Each class is tailored to the individual's requirements and/or needs. Want to improve career opportunities; learn or improve business Dutch, which will be the focus of each class. For those already are familiar with Dutch; expanding existing knowledge together with a deeper cultural understanding and insight. All students will be provided lesson schedules in advance for their review (time permitting). The main focus is on total immersion in a fun and comprehensible way, without omitting important aspects such as grammar, etc. SOME REVIEWS: Chevaan: Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter. Brian: Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time. Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language. Afeisha: Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her. Egle: Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Thaer
30 Hours Learning & Speaking program (Formal, Levantine, Gulf)
Hello everyone, I'm Thaer, a specialized teacher in Arabic (Formal, Levantine, Gulf) & Turkish language. Arabic: With over 10 years of experience teaching Arabic in Lebanon, Turkey and UAE, I've helped NGOs, journalists, and embassy staff swiftly grasp the language for effective local interaction and business. Additionally, I've supported young learners in understanding Arabic's structure, laying a strong foundation. Turkish: With 7+ years of teaching Turkish in Turkey and the Gulf, I've guided professionals from Turkish companies to fluent communication. Many aspire to converse locally or enjoy Turkish dramas in their native language, fostering rapid language acquisition. My approach integrates textbooks with customized materials to cater to diverse needs. Initially, I emphasize daily speaking, dedicating 4 lessons to language logic and memorization of essential verbs and prepositions. Gradually, we progress to mastering tenses and expanding vocabulary, focusing on practical application in real-life contexts. My ultimate goal is to foster fluent speaking skills, ensuring students can confidently interact and engage with locals from the outset. I will bring the rich cultural and linguistic experiences of Dubai, Beirut, or Damascus directly to you through my teaching expertise and immersive curriculum.

Muhammet
Online or In-Person Turkish, French and English Lessons
🖐🏻 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.
