Certified Teacher, 7 Years' Expertise, more than 6,000 lessons given on Italki Hello, I’m Damla — a certified Turkish instructor and CELTA-certified English teacher with a passion for connecting cultures through language. With over 7,000 lessons taught and fluency in five languages, I specialize in helping international learners confidently master Turkish. My background in translation studies allows me to break down language barriers and make Turkish accessible, no matter your native tongue. If you’re seeking a teacher who understands your unique journey and can guide you to real fluency, I’m here to help! I would like to be helpful in your language learning journey. I aim to find out the best method and prepare the right schedule for you and fasten your Turkish learning process. First of all, I will determine your Turkish level and then will prepare a schedule for you to fasten your learning process. I will separately deal with your writing, speaking, listening, and reading skills if you like to. Our lesson will depend on your need. If you need more grammer lessons, or speaking lessons, we will focus on that. Also, I will give you homework when needed. Through my experiences, the most important thing in my lessons is note-taking. I'll be also writing what we have talked about in the (Skype) chat or I'll directly share a document that I can write the notes and you can also have those note files after the lesson.

I had many lessons with Damla, and I will continue to study with her, as she is a very talented teacher and a pleasant person to communicate with. She feels the mood and state of the student and knows at what moment to increase the requirements, and at what moment to switch to more relaxed informal communication. Learning with her is not only useful, but also pleasant - which is very motivating in the difficult process of learning new language.

Damla harika bir kişi. Çok zeki, sabırlı ve Türkçemi onun sayesinde çok geliştirdi. Derste konuşmayı yazma çalışmaları yapıyor ve çok faydalı. Ödev veriyor ve ilginç konular hakkında konuştuk.

We did a short 30-minute introductory lesson, my first lesson in this app. From the very first introduction, I felt very comfortable and interested, and the words we learned still resonate with me because it goes into my head much better when there is a native speaker to correct you and teach you. Afterwards, I received a full summary of the lesson, and homework. Tessekular!
