Hello everyone! I earned my bachelor’s degree in Turkish Studies from one of the best universities in Turkey and completed my master’s degree in the same field. I’ve been teaching Turkish both in person and online for six years now. This job allows me to live as a digital nomad, which is one of the reasons I truly love teaching. In my free time, I enjoy camping and traveling. I’ve been to the United States, the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia. My next destination will probably be the Czech Republic or Morocco. That’s why I’m also here on this platform to learn new languages myself.

Ich als Lehrkraft
"I know learning a new language seems really hard—but it’s not!" I’m sure you’ve heard all the usual clichés before, but hear me out:
If you let me take the wheel, you’ll notice the difference. In my lessons, I successfully apply Socrates’ teaching method, which helps you learn faster and without pressure.
I’ve traveled to almost every city in Turkey, so while teaching you the language, I’ll also introduce you to Turkish culture—because language and culture should never be separated.
So, are you ready for a fun class?
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
You’re the star here. 🌟
We’ll create a personalized study program just for you.
- We’ll start by finding your current level of Turkish!
- Then we’ll build a personalized learning plan together!
- You’ll have lessons filled with clear, practical examples!
- And I’ll support you with worksheets and exercises before and after each class!
So… are you going to speak Turkish, or just watch? I’m waiting for the brave ones.
“If we don’t meet again—good morning, good afternoon, and good night.”

The first lesson with Erkan was really great. :)) he's very patient, friendly and professional at the same time and he perfectly adapted to my level, so that I didn't have difficulties understanding him. 🙏🏼 I will definitely book him again 😊

I really look forward to my lessons with Erkan.
Before my lesson today, I felt like something you find on the bottom of your shoe, with a temperature and the beginnings of a chesty cough.
But chatting to Erkan is so relaxing that I soon forgot how ill I was and started to enjoy myself.
I am able to have meaningful conversations with him, and his gentle corrections are always useful without being intimidating.

Erkan çok harika bir öğretmen, her zaman çok kibar yeni kelimeler veya ifadeler bulduğumda ve her zaman bana fırsatlar geliştirmek veriyor (özellikle gramer öğrenmek geldiğinde)!!! Türkçe kesinlikle kolay değil ama Erkan Türkçe daha kolay öğrenmek yapıyor!!! Erkan seni çok güzel Türkçe konuşacağı ve seni yarın ediyor devam etmek!!!

Erken is an excellent teacher. He also encourages me to speak during the majority of our lessons. After each lesson, he sends me sentences and vocabulary from the lesson. I think his teaching method is very effective because all of the sentences, vocabulary, and grammar are generated from our conversations. This means all of the material is very relevant to the topics I want to be able to discuss.
