Hi! My name is Gizem, I’m French of Turkish origin and I was born and raised in Mulhouse.
I’ve always loved teaching French to my friends, and learning different foreign languages myself: I am fluent in French, Turkish, and English, I speak German at an intermediate level, and I am currently learning Arabic, Spanish, and Japanese.
Apart from language learning, I’m passionate about science in general, music, and discovering different cultures, and I love hiking. I’m also a huge Harry Potter fan!
So if you share one of these interests with me (or none, we’ll surely find things in common!), let’s start discussing in French together!
With nearly a year of experience already on italki, I have taught people from all over the world —from the United States to Japan, including England, Italy, Taiwan, and South Korea. My lessons are fully adaptable to your style, your goals, and your interests!
As a naturally organized person, I will help you find the tools and methods that suit you best to achieve the goals we set at the start of your learning journey.
During our first lesson, we will begin by setting your goals, discussing your needs and wishes, to best adapt future lessons. I generally use a shared document to keep track of everything we'll learn, and thus be able to see your progress.
For beginners, we'll cover all the tools needed to start speaking French quickly. For example, we'll learn the basics for starting a conversation, create themed vocabulary lists, and also cover ...

I cannot praise Gizem enough! She has truly helped me change my life! I can now converse with my new in-laws! From only being able to say basic French words, to speaking in small sentences, in such a short time, is absolutely amazing! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Gizem!!

I've been learning French with Gizem for nearly 3 months now and I've learned so much! More importantly, I've got the confidence to converse in French.
She's patient, knowledgeable, and is always excited to see my progress.

Gizem is amazing!! lessons with her are so fun and so helpful. I learn things so quickly with her and she’s great at guiding the lesson so it goes smoothly and helps teach me useful things organically. It’s amazing to learn so much by just chatting with a friend ☺️

Gizem is a very kind and patient tutor. I felt very comfortable talking with her. Perfect for me, a great balance of instruction, mainly in French without being too full on or fast, which is what I requested. The conversation goes at my pace and the Google doc is a wonderful aid to help when you just can’t quite work out what it is you heard. I went from a group conversation with all beginners, to this one on one conversation and instruction and I really feel it makes a huge difference to my confidence. Highly recommend Gizem, she is a teacher, who takes the time to asks questions, explain if needed, always gives examples and encourages you along the way. Parfait!
