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 am really glad with Damla as my turkish teacher! She is very dedicated and reliable but most of all a very funny and creative person, so learning a new language and having fun and interesting conversations goes basically hand in hand:) Thank you for all your effort and your time so far, I am really enjoying it! 5/5 stars :D

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.

My turkish angel...no matter how less I study, she always finds a way to motivate me to learn something new. Super patient and supportive, she can well explain how to use everyday language that is the one you really need.

I've been taking lessons with Damla for several months and I highly recommend her. She helps me build a rich and personalized vocabulary around topics that matter to me—far beyond what you'd find in a textbook. Grammar is introduced gradually and naturally, so it's never overwhelming, and I always feel like I'm progressing. Her lessons are creative and engaging, and what I really appreciate is that they’re real, natural conversations, which makes learning meaningful and stimulating. She's also great at picking up on things in the moment and turning them into opportunities to learn, which keeps every class fresh and dynamic. For example, after watching a Turkish series she recommended, we discussed the characters in our next class—such a fun way to learn!

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.
