Merhaba! This is Can from Izmir, Turkey. If you are looking for a professional tutor, who will teach you to maximize your language capabilities, you can learn with me. I am a language coach and have a PhD in Philosophy. I have been a language tutor for about 10 years and a research assistant at a university for seven years. I have dedicated the last 10 years to learning languages and teaching Turkish. I have taught over 350 people for more than 4000 hours. I have had students from the age of 5 to 71. I speak English, French, and German. Currently, I am learning Spanish. I am always testing and refining new strategies and tactics to benefit my students.Me as a Teacher
When I teach Turkish, I use the method I developed. I wrote two Turkish A1 and A2 books 1 dialogue book, and 3 storybooks. My books cover everything from grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, expressions, and everything you need, in order to learn Turkish effectively! I will share each chapter with you before our lessons. I have been using my books with all my students, so I can guarantee that IT WORKS! I also share videos and audio files, as supplementary sources to learn vocabulary and revise grammar. To learn more about my lesson structure, please have a look at the descriptions for each course I teach.My lessons & teaching style

Can is the best teacher I could ever imagine. The lessons are always fun and constructive. Within a few months he walked me through the basics and made me feel confident speaking Turkish for the everyday use. He uses his own teaching materials, which are amazingly thought through and he never fails to focus on my needs. He is very patient and supportive in every single lesson. Furthermore he is a great person and I enjoy every conversation with him. I always leave the lessons with a smile on my face. So if you are looking for a Turkish teacher I highly recommend Can. :-)

The lesson with Can was an absolute pleasure. He is a linguist writing his own Turkish textbook, and it flows so logically and is so well organized. He is great at introducing you to Turkish and getting you talking and learning vocabulary while using it to explain grammar and syntax. He really is a first rate teacher, and I highly recommend him if you really want to learn Turkish well.

Another excellent lesson with Can! He is so knowledgeable and understanding of one's language needs. My speaking skills and vocabulary improved immensely within a few classes. He is so easy to talk to, able to have a discussion on any topic you choose and has the best language learning tips. I am very thankful to have found him and recommend Can to anyone who wants to learn Turkish.
