Hüma is a wonderful teacher! Her lessons are thoughtfully planned and well-constructed. They are also challenging and a lot of fun, and the hour flies by amazingly fast. I also appreciate the helpful tips and additional resources for improving my listening comprehension skills. Very happy to have found Hüma!

Another amazing lesson with Hüma - I learn so much valuable information in every lesson, slides prepared are so useful and organised.

The highlight of my week! We covered so much in our lesson today and Hüma provided me with relevant resources to improve my weak areas which we identified in our last lesson. Although structured, our lessons are filled with so much variety which I love ☺️

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Hüma. She took the time to prepare so many materials, to understand my level and why I want to learn Turkish in order to prepare a suitable lesson plan. An hour flew by so quick and I felt like I was spending time with a friend - I look forward to our classes together! 🥰
