Duygu's joyful, methodical and attentive teaching style encouraged me to dive in the process of learning a language from scratch and trust both myself and the learning process. Always combining varied teaching methods including vocabulary learning, making dialogues, reading and listening, our weekly lessons flow fast before I even realise that I am actually learning. Duygu is a generous teacher always open to answer my many questions without losing the focus of our lesson. I started learning Turkish because of a 3-month stay in Istanbul. I am astonished of how much I am already able to understand and say in daily interactions, considering the short learning period of 10 lessons. I am also delighted to hear the locals' feedback that my Turkish accent is very good. All this I owe to Duygu! I am thankful of her flexibility as I often needed to change lesson hours spontaneously. I definitely recommend Duygu to anybody who wishes to enter this adventure with a thorough and reliable teacher!
