Hi there! My name is Umut and I'm a native speaker of Turkish. I am also proficient in English and fluent in Spanish. I am a graduate of English Philology. I completed my Bachelor's in Turkey and my Master's in Italy. I've been teaching Turkish, English, and Spanish since 2017. During this period, I've taught students from Italy, Spain, Mexico, Syria, Russia and many others. As an enthusiastic student and teacher of languages, I am excited to share my experiences and get to know you.

Me as a Teacher
Outside of teaching and being a language enthusiast, I love literature, art, history, traveling, spending time in nature and writing short stories. I do meditation and yoga regularly, so I have a calm personality. The positive energy I get from sharing time with my family, friends, and students inspires me to better myself and my environment. I am currently learning German and hope to start learning Japanese.

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.
