About Me
italki teacher since Apr 7, 2023Interest topicTravelReadingHistory
Hello everyone!
My name is Elif. I am originally from Turkey, but currently living in Poland. I have completed my bachelor's and master's degrees in Business Administration and am currently enrolled in a master's degree in Political Science and Public Administration. I love learning and teaching! Lifelong learning is one of my core values. I love traveling, cooking, talking about current events, political issues, immigration and environmental issues, etc. The three areas I am most interested in are personal development and growth, effective communication skills and empathy. I believe my combination of skills and experience makes me the ideal community teacher for you. See you soon =)
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and asking questions. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I strive to nurture their individual strengths and interests, while addressing their areas of challenge.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I emphasize exclusively on conversation practice, ensuring that my students feel confident and comfortable while speaking Turkish. As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of learning English as an intermediate student, I understand what it takes to improve language skills in a short period of time. Over the course of two years, I successfully enhanced my English proficiency, and I believe that my journey can serve as a source of motivation for you as well. Instead of relying on traditional language learning methods, I prefer a more immersive approach that involves exposing myself to the language, listening, speaking, and reading – all within a relevant contex.5.0

I have just finished my 10th lesson with Elif and I am so impressed with this young lady as a teacher. As an experienced language learner (Turkish is my sixth language to learn) I highly recommend Elif. In a short time my Turkish has improved immensely. She is patient, kind and genuinely interested in her students and our hour lessons pass so quickly.
With her guided conversations, timely corrections and suggestions, each lesson I leave with enough input to study before our next lesson.
I am learning more about Turkish culture, customs, food and Elif has given me recommendations for music to listen to and Turkish mini series to watch.
I look forward to all my lessons with Elif and I am excited for my future speaking and learning Turkish, as I know with Elif helping me, I can now easily attain a good conversational level.
