I would be delighted to help any Turkish or Spanish speakers with an interest in practicing either their English.

My class with Ibrahim have been so worthwhile and eye-opening! He knows everything there is to know about English pronunciation. And also He has an amazing way of breaking things down so that they are understandable, and always keeping it light and interesting. Türk isen ve telafuzunu geliştirmek istiyorsan veyahut British aksan öğrenmek istiyorsan hocan burada :) Ibrahim hocanın açıklayış tarzı muazzam ve anlaması çok kolay
