Hello! My name is Pelin, I'm from Türkiye, and I'm a certified Turkish language teacher :)
Merhaba! Ben Pelin, Türküm, ve sertifikalı bir Türkçe öğretmeniyim :)
I'm fascinated by all things about languages, especially my native-tongue Turkish. With this motivation, I pursued a Linguistics MA degree in Switzerland. Now still living in Switzerland, I am learning German and I understand what you, as a language-learner, are going through.
I am excited to meet you and help you in your journey of discovering the Turkish language!
Sizinle tanışmaya ve Türkçeyi keşfetme yolculuğunuzda size yardımcı olmaya sabırsızlanıyorum!Me as a Teacher
I am an open-minded teacher who is ready to listen to your needs and your feedback. A language lesson will not succeed if we are not addressing your goals, or not taking account of your unique learning style.
Thanks to my previous education, I'm highly knowledgeable with the structure of Turkish (and English) and I can provide you not only with a grammar rule, but the explanation as well. I am also well-versed with different teaching styles, and with your input, I can construct a productive lesson for you!
I *do not* use AI in my lesson materials (visuals, audio, explanations, examples, definitions, homework etc) My lessons & teaching style
My lessons with you will be communicative, interactive, and fun! After getting to know each other in our first meeting, I will consider your needs and get prepared for our next meeting accordingly.
If you need a conversational class, I'll provide prompts and topics to talk about, and give you the necessary corrections. If your need is some grammar practice, we can do some exercises together and I can explain the linguistic rules of Turkish. Perhaps your challenge is with vocabulary, then I can provide you material to acquire and practice words of interest.
My goal is your success!My teaching material

I've been taking Turkish lessons for about 4 months now, and Pelin has always been a very kind, helpful, and engaging teacher. She effectively breaks down complex grammatical rules into digestible explanations and intuitive associations. Our lessons have helped me develop a genuine appreciation for the beauty of the Turkish language. Furthermore, the assignments and resources provide a clear yet varied learning path. This is the most fun I've had learning any language, and I always look forward to our lessons :D

Pelin is a highly committed and engaged teacher with profound knowledge of how her native language functions. My learning style is quite abstract, and Pelin has a gift for explaining grammar rules and other curiosities.

I’ve been learning with Pelin for around two months and I am absolutely satisfied. She is very professional, friendly, and helpful. She carefully prepares lessons based on your needs and is always open to requests. She regularly asks for feedback to make sure you get the most out of your learning. I’m very happy with my progress and will definitely continue studying with her.
