About Me
italki teacher since Dec 14, 2021Interest topicReadingMusicPets & AnimalsAnimation & ComicsArt
Hi, nice to see you in my profile! I'm Şükran, and I'm teaching Turkish to adults and children. I was born in Turkey, and I'm a native speaker of Turkish, also I'm fluent in English and at B1 level in French. I decided to become a teacher at 4th grade, and after middle school, I went to Anatolian Teacher Training High School (very special and rooted high school in Turkey guiding the future teachers and educators). Then, I got my bachelor's degree at ODTÜ/METU (Middle East Technical University) in the department of Foreign Language Education. Right now, I'm studying "Teaching Turkish to Foreigners" for my master's in Yıldız Technical University in İstanbul.Me as a Teacher
I'm a fun and talkative teacher, most importantly I'm a careful listener. I see mistakes as an opportunity to learn a new feature of Turkish. I act according to the needs, levels and differences of my students. There are many topics that I'm interested in, and I have experience in various language teaching methods, so I believe we can easily find what is best for you. You won't feel lost along the journey, you will always see the previous and next step thanks to my feedbacks. It is going to be like TV series, I promise to keep you curious! I care about all of my students, and I'm passionate about helping them with Turkish language and culture, which I'm truly in love :)My lessons & teaching style
As your language partner and teacher, I will be focusing on Turkish in terms of all 4 language skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing) during our session. There are no shortcuts while acquiring a language (due to its very complex nature), so we get the best results when my students get exposed to Turkish outside of my class, too. Hey, don't worry! I will guide you in every step, and you will be able to access to my unique material collection compiled in years. At the end of each lesson, you will get a personalized Google Document including all the vocabulary items and phrases we used during our session, so that you can revise them later. My students find it extremely helpful :)My teaching material

Learning Turkish with Şükran has been amazing, she’s a dedicated teacher who makes every lesson interesting and fun. In just a few months she helped me effectively prepare for the Tömer language proficiency exam and with her help I was able to pass level B2. I’ve learned a lot from her lessons, through exercises involving reading, speaking, listening, and writing. She is very professional and has consistently worked with me to reach my goals. She also has a great personality and is easy to talk to. Thank you, Şükran!

Şükran is a wonderful warm-hearted person and a great motivating teacher who truly loves her job and cares for her student. We spent about two months together reading a novel in Turkish. Our lessons turned into a real book club.
I'm really happy that I met Şükran. Hope we will continue our journey soon!

Şükran is an excellent teacher. I just started learning Turkisha couple of weeks ago and I have already decided to work with her long-term. I am making great progress with every lesson. Şükran customizes her lessons to my needs and adjusts her pace according to mine. She’s also a joy to work with. Highly recommend!
