Turkish with a clear plan and my own books | PhD | 11+ years teaching, 3,300+ lessons Merhaba! I'm Can, from İzmir. I teach Turkish to people who want to learn it properly, step by step, with a clear plan from the very first lesson. I teach all levels, but I especially enjoy working with beginners and getting them to their first real conversations. A bit about me: I have a PhD in philosophy. I've been teaching Turkish for over 11 years, and I've given more than 3,300 lessons here on italki. My students have been anywhere from 5 to 71 years old. I speak English, French and German, and right now I'm learning Spanish, so I remember very well how it feels to be a beginner. My lessons follow my own method and my own books. I wrote two course books (A1 and A2), a dialogue book and three storybooks, and I use them with all my students. You get each chapter before our lesson, plus audio files and short videos to review vocabulary and grammar. What you can expect from me: - A clear roadmap, so you always know where you are and what comes next - No wasted time. Every lesson has a goal - I note your mistakes and we fix the gaps early, before they become habits - You can message me with questions between lessons - Some humor. Learning Turkish should be fun! Not sure where to start? Book a trial lesson. We'll talk about your goals and I'll show you how my lessons work. Görüşmek üzere!

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.
