Hello everyone! I earned my bachelor’s degree in Turkish Studies from one of the best universities in Turkey and completed my master’s degree in the same field. I’ve been teaching Turkish both in person and online for six years now. This job allows me to live as a digital nomad, which is one of the reasons I truly love teaching. In my free time, I enjoy camping and traveling. I’ve been to the United States, the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia. My next destination will probably be the Czech Republic or Morocco. That’s why I’m also here on this platform to learn new languages myself.

The first lesson with Erkan was really great. :)) he's very patient, friendly and professional at the same time and he perfectly adapted to my level, so that I didn't have difficulties understanding him. 🙏🏼 I will definitely book him again 😊

I really look forward to my lessons with Erkan. Before my lesson today, I felt like something you find on the bottom of your shoe, with a temperature and the beginnings of a chesty cough. But chatting to Erkan is so relaxing that I soon forgot how ill I was and started to enjoy myself. I am able to have meaningful conversations with him, and his gentle corrections are always useful without being intimidating.

Erkan çok harika bir öğretmen, her zaman çok kibar yeni kelimeler veya ifadeler bulduğumda ve her zaman bana fırsatlar geliştirmek veriyor (özellikle gramer öğrenmek geldiğinde)!!! Türkçe kesinlikle kolay değil ama Erkan Türkçe daha kolay öğrenmek yapıyor!!! Erkan seni çok güzel Türkçe konuşacağı ve seni yarın ediyor devam etmek!!!

Erken is an excellent teacher. He also encourages me to speak during the majority of our lessons. After each lesson, he sends me sentences and vocabulary from the lesson. I think his teaching method is very effective because all of the sentences, vocabulary, and grammar are generated from our conversations. This means all of the material is very relevant to the topics I want to be able to discuss.
