** !! Students, please use ZOOM for our classes. Hey everyone! Welcome. I'm a professional teacher with 5 years of experience with a bachelor's degree in Language Education and Teaching. I currently live in Turkey. I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, learning about psychology, and doing sports such as yoga and skiing.

Me as a Teacher

I have taught over 500 students in the past 5 years, from little ones to the elderly. I'm patient, energetic, and supportive. Our classes can be flexible to your specific learning style or learning needs. My teaching philosophy reflects what I seek as a language student: 1. A cheerful and kind teacher who supports students and helps them grow. 2. Being exposed to and using the language in a real environment with visual and written aids. 3. Having plenty of opportunities to speak, make mistakes, and learn from them.

My lessons & teaching style

I teach using an interactive and communicative approach. We read news or scientific articles, watch videos on varying topics, play interactive and creative games that are interesting to you. During our classes, I identify any areas that need improvement. I strongly believe using the language authentically and naturally (like native speakers) is extremely important. I implement this in our classroom. I'm open-minded and easy-going, meaning we can engage in any topic in our classes. You can feel comfortable being yourself. And, most importantly, I aim to make my classes fun. There's no point in doing something if you don't enjoy it!
