✿ Here are good value lessons with a fun, engaging and knowledgeable teacher ✿
I taught at language schools, preschools and offices for many years. I worked with famous actresses, filmmakers and people in the film industry, as well as kids and people from many other fields. Besides learning and teaching languages,

🦜 do training with my parrots
🎮 play video games
🧠 listen to neurobiology podcasts
🪑 and do some woodworking in my free time.
🎥 I run a Youtube channel dedicated to parrot training, train parrots and I make and sell parrot toys,
but teaching is currently my full time job. I take it seriously and value your time and effort!Me as a Teacher
I DO TURKISH LESSONS IN TURKISH & ENGLISH LESSONS IN ENGLISH - except for when necessary for grammar explanations at earlier levels. This is important because immersion is what makes you feel like you have to speak.
I have been teaching and doing other language related work for about 10 years. I like to provide my students with many opportunities to practice speaking with various activities using different cues because I think using the language in speaking can be a very fulfilling experience for a learner. I find it important to use graded but natural language to provide the best type of exposure. All students from all levels are welcome, I have lots of experience teaching all levels.My lessons & teaching style
In each grammar lesson we will generally begin with isolated grammar practice to gradually widen the scope of our practice to use that particular grammar point in speaking. We will do this first through grammar drills, sentence matching and sentence completion activities. Later on in our lessons we will expand into more speaking focused activities using pictures and vocabulary as cues. I also like to provide you with a learning environment where vocabulary is recycled, so you can benefit from spaced repetition in our lessons. I aim to cover all four areas of learning (listening, speaking, reading and writing) in the lesson plans.My teaching material

Really, Zeynep is an amazing teacher. This was my fourth lesson with her and I wanted to wait until I was sure before writing a review. She has everything someone could want from a foreign language teacher: knowledge, pedagogical skills, the ability to draw out the student, great homework exercises, patience. She is also a truly lovely person. I feel really lucky I chose her for a trial lesson a few weeks ago. She will be a terrific teacher for you if you want to learn Turkish.

Zeynep is an amazing language teacher! One of the things I like most about taking lessons with her is that she has really developed her classes for students to progress at a steady rate. The classes are very planned and well organized, so I feel like I am learning a bit more each time and building upon previous classes.
Zeynep is also a wonderful person and has a really nice and easy going personality. She is easy to talk to, even when I am talking to her with my elementary Turkish!
If you are thinking about taking a lesson with Zeynep, don't hesitate!

Zeynep structures her lessons very well—you learn so much in every lesson, and Zeynep makes sure to cover both what you’re interested in and what is most necessary at whatever level you’re at. In today’s lesson, we covered if-then statements in Turkish—a widely applicable and interesting sentence structure. Teşekkürler, Zeynep!

I've had several lessons with Zeynep so far, and as a former teacher myself she has all the qualities I look for in a good teacher: a kind and encouraging manner to get the best out of a student, use of a gradual scaffolding approach to teaching grammar, a keen listener to pick up on any mistakes, and an ability to respond to random queries and cater to the student's interests. It is obvious that Zeynep is an experienced and professional teacher, and I highly recommend her for all students looking for a Turkish teacher.
