About Me
italki teacher since Sep 6, 2019InterestsArtTravelReading
Howdy! I'm Esma, an EFL teacher based in Istanbul. I'm French by birth, Turk by blood, and a travelling nomad at heart. Paris, Dubai and Istanbul are the cities where I spent most of my living. Everyday I wake up and welcome the beautiful spark multi-lingualism brings to my life.
I believe there are few things as rewarding as understanding foreign languages, however limited that understanding is!
I'm enthusiastic about too many things: non-fiction reading, self-improvement, home design, dog training, Indian cuisine, you name it really!
Aaaand I cannot wait to meet you and strike up a conversation with you ! :)
*PLEASE note that my sessions are for FEMALE learners only, thank you.*Me as a Teacher
As a language teacher I highly value and expect:
-You making efforts!!
-Mutual respect, punctuality & politeness
You can expect from me:
-My Full Attention
-Patience & Understanding
-Valuable Resources
-Support & Feedback
I feel very concerned about how I teach and how I can improve myself. Your feedback matters!My lessons & teaching style
I strive to tailor lessons to meet your very needs, wants and interests. But how well are you aware of your needs, wants and interests? Unfortunately, many people do not lack motivation to learn languages, they lack clarity. The better you know what you want, the more relevant and precise the support I will provide you will be.
I believe the responsibility of success is shared between the facilitator and the learner. Truly, I can only help you as much as you help me.
Let's humbly remember that small incremental efforts go a long way, so let's work on getting 1% better every lesson, together :)
