👋 Hello everyone,
🎓 I’m Deniz, a graduate of Hacettepe University, Department of Modern Turkic Languages and Literatures. I completed my undergraduate studies in 2021 with a 3.48/4.00 GPA as an honors student, and finished my master’s degree in 2024 with a 3.94/4.00 GPA (MA). I am currently pursuing a PhD in Turkic languages.
🌍 I participated in the Erasmus program in Ukraine and Azerbaijan, and attended summer schools in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, enriching my academic and cultural perspective.
🧠 My background includes linguistics, etymology, and literature. In my lessons, we explore not just Turkish itself, but how and why the language works.Me as a Teacher
🎓 I teach Turkish at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners.
🌍 I have over three years of experience teaching Turkish as a foreign language to students from different countries. Thanks to my university education, I am proficient not only in modern Turkish but also in the historical development of the language, which allows me to explain grammar through logic and structure, not memorization.
🧠 I actively use my background in linguistics and etymology to make Turkish more understandable and memorable.
🗣️📘 My lessons focus on grammar, speaking, reading, writing, and listening, adapting depth to each student’s needs. My lessons & teaching style
These lessons are for everyone, from beginners to advanced learners.
😄 In these lessons, making mistakes is allowed, but staying silent is forbidden! Because the only way to truly learn a language is to use it
📚 Our lessons are tailored to the needs of beginner, intermediate, and advanced students.
🔤 Whether you start with the alphabet,
🎓 or work on academic Turkish,
🗨️ or aim for fluent speaking — 🧭 we'll create the roadmap together.
👇 Here’s what you can expect:
✅ You won’t memorize Turkish — you’ll understand its logic.
✅ You won’t be afraid to speak — you’ll be encouraged to speak.
✅ When you say “I don’t understand,” we won’t move on — we’ll stay until it’s clear.My teaching material

We reviewed the previous lesson on numbers and months, and learned how to ask questions about the things around us. The teacher also gave me homework, so now it’s up to me to work on myself and practice more.

We started the first full lesson after the trial class.
The teacher taught me country names, nationalities, the languages people speak, and how to use suffixes correctly.
We also covered the days of the week, months, and numbers from one up to one million.
Everything was taught using a structured and well-established Turkish curriculum, explained in a clear and simple way.
The lesson was very productive, and I’m motivated and excited for the next lesson
