About Me
italki teacher since Sep 1, 2022
Hello! My name is Zeynep Özalpuk. I'm a Turkish and English teacher. I love sketching, playing guitar, and dancing. A few fun-fact about me are that I'm a cat person and my favorite musician is Tamino.
Language learning has always been a part of my life and as a Turkish-English teacher, I love my job. Especially getting to meet with so many different people and seeing my students' growth.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I'd describe myself as friendly, flexible and disciplined. I find that a relaxed and friendly environment is most suitable for learning as well as the necessary discipline to encourage my students.
My lessons & teaching style
I prefer to use and get inspired by a range of materials such as free online learning sources, videos, question prompts etc. because I find using the same format repeatedly can get boring easily. So, no repetetive text books!
For beginners, we start easy and steady. I focus on a few grammar points per lesson, seeing them in context and practicing. For intermediate and above, I practice a wider range of topics per lesson as well as more. For students preparing for speaking parts of language examinations, I try to focus on the necessary vocabulary and advanced grammar. As for homework, if we're having 2 or more lessons per week, I mostly abstain from giving homework.

Even though I didn't know what to expect going into the lesson, Zeynep immediately put me at ease. Her down-to-earth, playful, and interactive vibe will make you want to keep coming back for more, and give you the confidence that you actually can learn Turkish (or any language). I absolutely recommend her as a teacher to anyone and everyone!

It is so fun to study with her, she was supportive and I felt comfortable speaking to her, also taught me vocabulary that I had forgotten.
If you are beginner and want to improve your Turkish, she will be the best teacher for you.
