About Me
-Highly Qalified Turkish Teacher With 10 Years of Experience-
I have multiple degrees in teaching Turkish as a foreign language and I have been teaching foreigners since 2014. I specialized in teaching pragmatics (functions of each form or expression in the languages basically) in my academic career but I teach general Turkish. After having my BA in Turkish Language and Literature at Mimar Sinan University, I got my teaching certificate from Duzce University. Also, I hold a MA in teaching Turkish as a foreign/second language and four of my studies in that field were published in academic journals.
I had the chance to work with many different student profiles. At the beginning of my career, I was teaching Turkish to Erasmus students. In the following years, I worked for a private university that has its own courses for foreign students who will study in Turkey. Also, I lectured both for Turkish courses and Erasmus students at Yildiz Technical University while studying for my master's degree. Thanks to that, I got experience in working with intensive groups and testing. For the last 6 years, I have been teaching ex-pats and their families from many foreign and local companies such as IKEA, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Amadeus, Bando, Allianz Sigorta, LC Waikiki, P&G, GSK, Anadolu Grup, Pixar, etc. Besides, I help consul generals, ambassadors, and diplomats from different countries to get prepared for their Turkish exams.I recently got my certificate for dyslexia and foreign language learning.
I generally prefer to create my own materials since I would like to provide completely customized classes that focus on my students' needs. In addition to this, I make use of sources like course books and exercise books from different schools. During my lessons, I focused on improving my students' communication skills with an integrated approach. On the other hand, my students exploit working with a teacher who specialized in pragmatics and it helps them to feel more comfortable compared to other Turkish learners when starting a dialogue, maintaining a dialogue, or finishing it. The progress of the students is checked by tests or self-check charts according to the student's preference. Also, the curriculum is shared periodically with students and discussed if there is a problem with previous subjects.
A student who has no Turkish vocabulary can be able to introduce himself/herself, talk about his/her likes and dislikes, make a shopping dialogue, and count to 10 after the first lesson with me.
