Serkan is a very intelligent, direct, kind and helpful teacher. He is very easy to talk to about any subject and you will learn to speak Turkish perfectly. The lessons are interactive and structured. Serkan is very well prepared and always sends the notes after the lessons. I highly recommend him if you want to learn Turkish.

Muy buen profesor, me corrige la pronunciación y los errores que tengo para mejorar en mi habla, lo que considero muy importante. Estudiamos cada día palabras nuevas y las repasamos en los ejercicios. Me gusta la forma que enseña.
