Elif

Elif is 100% the best conversation practice teacher I've had on iTalki. I cannot reccomend her more. She is great at conversation, making you feel comfortable and has really helped improve my Turkish speaking skills by tailoring specific conversation topics to my level of Turkish. I forsee many more lessons with her in the future and highly reccomend you book one with her if you want to improve your spoken Turkish. Thank you Elif!

Lessons with Elif are very helpful to strengthen my language skills. Elif creates an atmosphere in which speaking freely comes naturally without feeling stressed or anxious. She successfully encourages me to talk and always finds good topics to talk about. Elif adjusts her language, vocabulary and speed rate to my level, so it's challenging but not too hard to follow and understand her. I can highly recommend Elif as Turkish teacher!

Great first lesson with a new teacher. Will not hesitate to rebook.

I had the pleasure of studying with Elif as my Turkish language teacher. Not only is she incredibly friendly, but she's also a genuinely interesting person with a great attitude. Her background in Psychology really shines through in how empathetic and understanding she is with her students. Additionally, she's always very respectful, which makes for a comfortable learning environment. On top of all that, I have to say that Elif is quite stunning - her look is just as charming as her personality! Overall, if you're looking for a fantastic Turkish teacher, I highly recommend Elif.

I take conversation lessons with Elif and I couldn't imagine a better teacher! Every conversation we have is like talking to a friend over coffee. Elif is always super patient when I need a little longer to formulate my answer. If I don't know what to say, I can ask her in English, because her English is very good. However, we try to speak as much Turkish as possible and only switch to English in ‘emergencies’. She writes new words or improved sentence constructions in the chat so that I can look over them again after the lesson. On request, she gives me homework, which we then go through together at the end of our lesson, improve and discuss. She is also incredibly motivating and draws my attention when she notices improvements or when I have used complex sentence structures well. So I always leave the lessons totally satisfied with my Turkish and am already looking forward to the next one! Çok teşekkürler Elif! 🤩
