About Me

Merhaba! Hello! Turkish Learners From All Over the World! :)

I am a native Turkish speaker and certificated English Teacher. I have worked as an English teacher for various language teaching organizations and I have been teaching Turkish and English online and face-to face for all levels, for over five years.

I enjoy interacting with people from other cultures and sharing my culture as well. I have a lot of experience in teaching both Turkish and English online which includes over two thousand hours of online Turkish lessons. And, I have IELTS and TESOL certifications. I hope you will consider taking a lesson with a teacher who is relaxed and easy-going because that's my style.

TEACHING APPROACH

1-) What I really care about the lessons is the FLEXIBILITY in the teaching plan and the level of INTERACTION during the lessons, which must be never boring. I immediately adapt to students' level in the first lessons and consistently analyze achievements throughout the whole lessons.

2-) I always aim to create a COMFORTABLE atmosphere where the students are encouraged to use daily, survival language phrases. Students acquire the critical vocabulary and grammar usage rules through the communicative and dynamic question/answer approach.

3-)LISTENING and SPEAKING are the most important skills throughout the lessons and therefore I always try to make the students speak in Turkish asking little, easy and encouraging questions that lead them to speak intuitively.

4-)I provide all the materials including digital language books in pdf format and audio materials in mp3 format before the lessons. I always plan homework activities in order to keep students' Turkish alive.

This week marks two years from my first Turkish lesson with Tarık. I’ve learned so much with him! Turkish isn’t an easy language; particularly for someone like me who’s bilingual Spanish-English. Also, I’m a very busy person and can only take one hour of class per week. Still, Tarık has taken me from zero to an intermediate level. When I go to Istanbul, I walk its streets with confidence because I’m able to communicate. Tarık has a lot of experience teaching Turkish, his native language. But he’s also a gifted teacher. He adapts to the student’s learning style, explains grammatical structures in a systematic way, teaches vocabulary in a painless manner, corrects pronunciation and balances grammar with conversation. Importantly, he has a great sense of humor. Lessons are challenging, useful and a pleasure. I very strongly recommend him.

Tarik is an excellent teacher. I find his exceptional English to be very helpful in learning Turkish. I've never really struggled to understand our lessons due to Tarik's clear and easy presentation style. Tarik is highly professional and yet casual and personable. I recommend Tarik hands down.

Tarık is an excellent teacher. He adapts very well to the needs of his students. I arrived to my first lesson as a beginner, but not as the typical beginner because I had lived in Istanbul two months. Tarık took my uneven beginner level and started systematizing my knowledge and advancing it. His lessons are useful, challenging and, at the same time, they're a joy to take. I'm very pleased and I highly recommend him.
