Hi everybody! I'm Melike from Turkey. I have been working as an English Language Teacher for 15 years. Learning and teaching new things in every field are my desires so I love to travel, make friends, listen to stories of people, talk about other cultures, languages, history, traveling, etc. In my free time, I read books, search for the subjects I am curious about, travel, watching documentaries and movies, do diy projects, try new recipes and also love animals :)
I'm willing to listen others’ life experience while sharing mine. I'm energetic but patient, positive, and friendly.
Me as a Teacher
I believe that being teacher is like being an actress. You observe, analyze and finally act for the students. Sometime you are their best friend, sometimes a mother bird who pushes to teach fly, sometimes a psychologist who has to comfort to bring them in to the class, sometimes football commentator… If you are good at acting, you get the students’ attention so learning is inevitable.
During my 15 years working life as a teacher, I had chance to meet thousands of different aged students in every level. By this way I improve my teaching skills so I can understand your feelings, needs and expectations. You are in the center and I will be the guide.
My lessons & teaching style
I have been working as a teacher for 15 years so I can say that every lesson has to be specialized for each student, including their learning language level, ways of learning and interests, etc.
In our first lesson I will listen to you. We will decide what you need to reach your goals. We can focus on speaking Turkish or if you want to focus on grammar, writing and reading, we will draw our entertaining way together.
I know learning new language can be hard time to time but leaving your comfort zone will improve you in every aspect. As a supportive, attentive, patient, friendly caring, professional teacher I will be with you and you feel comfortable.
Let’s give us a chance. :)

Melike is a wonderful teacher! She is kind and patient with me and I always feel comfortable in class, even when I make mistakes. Melike always makes the classes about topics that I am interested in which keeps the classes fun and relevant to my life. She provides me with learning resources to work with, my favourites are the stories she sends me to read. I would highly recommend Melike at a teacher! You will not regret it!

Great lesson with Melike! As an interpreter, I mainly self-study grammer etc. and use iTalki lessons as a way of activating what I´ve studied. Melikes classes are amazing for that! We agreed on some topics that I would like to talk about, and before the lessons, she gives me a lot of useful vocabulary and phrases that are related to that topic and very practial for real-life situations. She prepares questions and fun, challenging exercises that intend to improve my speaking skills while using those new words. I can really recommend her to everyone!

Melike has been an exceptional language tutor and in the few classes that I have taken with her, she has greatly helped me overcome language challenges with her well-prepared and customized lessons. She skillfully guides our sessions to prioritize conversational practice, which aims to boost my confidence in speaking Turkish. Through engaging and interactive discussions, she creates a supportive environment that encourages me to practice and improve my language skills without the fear of making mistakes.
Melike's commitment to her students' progress is truly commendable. Her lessons are never one-size-fits-all; instead, she prepares each session to target my areas of improvement to enhance my language fluency. She goes the extra mile and prepares vocabulary lists, shares stories and films that are based on your specific language learning needs, creating an enriching learning experience.

I really like classes with Melike.
I used to study Turkish so i have some knowledge of it. Melike could build a structure in the class that helps me to recall what I have already studied and also to learn something new. That’s just awesome.
Melike speaks both English and Turkish during the class which help me to catch listening skills and pronunciation.
We do not check homework during the class and that helps to save the time during the class so we can study something new.
During the class we read, do some exercises, speak well at least I’m trying to speak)))
I do believe that Melike is a great teacher for any Turkish level students cause even if you do not know Turkish at all you can start communication in English and then slowly slide to Turkish)))
