Hello! I am Damla, a sociologist living in Türkiye. I truly enjoy exploring different cultures and discussing the similarities and differences between them. Learning about life from various cultural perspectives is a passion of mine. My native language is Turkish, and I use the Istanbul dialect in my lessons. My interests include tech, education, music, sociology, psychology, neuroscience, holistic health, art, agriculture, and world cuisines. This curiosity transforms our lessons into not just language training, but also a space for rich, meaningful conversation. I also speak English, which I can use as a bridge whenever we need it during our lessons.
I received my training in teaching Turkish to foreigners from Ankara University TÖMER, a language center that holds an internationally valid qualification. As a new teacher on this platform, I bring high energy, meticulous preparation, and a deep commitment to each student's progress. For me, teaching is more than just explaining grammar; it is about being a cultural ambassador. I aim to convey the soul of the Turkish language along with its daily nuances and cultural elegances. You will find a supportive and patient guide in me as we navigate the beauty of the Turkish language together.
I follow a student-centered approach, meaning the pace and content are shaped entirely by your specific needs and goals. Whether you are a beginner (A1) or an advanced learner (C1), I’ve got you covered. I use a communicative method to get you...

Damla was a very good teacher. She created individualized lessons for each class that specifically addressed my goals and related directly to my life.
The lessons were thorough and responsive to my needs. She explained cultural points and word usage well. Sometimes she would give too much information, such as too many alternative ways to say something.
