Merhaba! I’m Baha, a professional Turkish tutor certified by Ankara University-TÖMER. With over 8 years of experience, I’ve taught Turkish to students from more than 30 countries, including diplomats, scholars, and businesspeople. Several years ago, I spent half a year in the United States as an exchange student, which helped me improve my English skills and understand the challenges of learning a new language. Did you know that I also interview Turkish-speaking actors, musicians, historians, economists, lawyers, chefs, and more, and publish my interviews online?

Baha is an excellent teacher. He's incredibly talented and has worked hard to attain his current skillset. His English is impeccable, his knowledge about history, grammar and other things is insane. In every lesson with him I don't feel like I am a student and he's a teacher: instead I feel like we are two friends having a conversation. Everything flows naturally. He also has notes and explanations for everything about Turkish, and if he doesn't have it, he'll create one. He is also a talented musician, so make sure you ask him to sing for you!!! 😜 teşekkür ederim, Baha! umarım kendinle gurur duyuyorsun!

Baha is a brilliant teacher as he combines his knowledge of history and culture of Turkey and speaks English like a native speaker enabling him to understand the way we think in English and avoid making mistakes as we think in English. He conveys the beauty of the language in sharing the history and etymology and is exceptionally patient and encouraging to bring out the best learning experience and promoting confidence in my progress. I am very impressed with his impeccable English for a Turkish teacher as I often had experiences with Turkish teachers who were unable to grasp the learning difficulties I had however Baha immediately understands how I think in English so is able to steer me in the right direction. I am looking forward to growing my Turkish vocabulary as he reinforces what I learn allowing me to practice and not be afraid to make mistakes as that is all part of learning as practice makes perfect. He teaches with confidence, so much patience and professionalism.

I wish I had met Baha years ago and received instruction with him, but it is what it is. There isn't much doubt, at least in my mind, that I would have been speaking this beautiful language and understanding the television shows I like to watch and having conversations with my Turkish acquaintances. His method of teaching makes sense as he mixes grammar, vocabulary and other nuances of the language that are impossible to learn from any textbook. When our lesson is completed, I find that I never want it to end; it goes by so quickly. Baha has definitely found his niche in life as a language instructor, and I feel so fortunate to have him teaching me Turkish.

Baha is a great teacher. I have started my lessons as a complete beginner, and the way Baha introduces topics one by one, linking them together, is really effective for building up my understanding of grammar and vocab. The resources he has developed are very clear and thorough. After introducing a new topic, Baha guides me through making my own examples with vocab I am familiar with, introducing new examples bit by bit. I appreciate how he is patient with my many questions. Teşekkürler Baha! I look forward to developing my Turkish skills further.
