Hi there! I'm Umut.
I’m a native Turkish speaker and I'm proficient in English and fluent in Spanish. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English from Turkey and a Master's degree from Italy. Since 2017, I've been teaching Turkish, English, and Spanish to students from various countries, including the United States, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Syria, Russia, and many others.
As a enthusiastic learner and teacher of languages, I’m excited to share my experiences with you and look forward to getting to know you.

Me as a Teacher
Outside of teaching and my passion for languages, I have a deep love for literature, art, history, traveling, and spending time in nature. I also enjoy writing short stories. To maintain a calm and balanced lifestyle, I practice meditation and yoga regularly.
The positive energy I receive from spending time with my family, friends, and students inspires me to continually improve myself and my surroundings. Currently, I am learning German and hope to start learning Japanese and Arabic soon.

I strongly recommend Umut as your teacher. After these 9 lessons I start to assimilate the language and start to think and learn naturally like a baby. Umut has a passion to teach and help, and more importantly her patiance. So all Engliss and Spanish speakers who are serious or those who want to learn enough language to travel don't hesitate to book a lesson with Umut.

Umut, thank you very much for the lesson. You have a lot of patience and support as a professional teacher. Your calm voice and slow exploration release stress of a new language learning. I 'm very glad I got acquainted with you here, on italki. It's important for me you understand my learning approach and pick it up immediately along your own one ☺️

An A+ dynamite teacher. Friendly, patient, helpful, flexible. She adapts her speech to your level. It really helped me gain confidence as I almost understood everything she said. She is a star in literature and studied language in-depth as well, so she understands the challenges language learners face. Thank you very much and talk to you soon!

Hoy ha sido mi primera clase, y la verdad es que estoy bastante contenta. Ha sido una clase muy ágil y eficaz, en mi opinión. Justo lo que necesito. El material usado en clase me parece bastante útil, y la profesora muy amable.
