Hi everybody! I'm Damla from Turkey. I hold a master degree in translation and interpreting department. As a foreign language learner, I'm also in love with teaching languages. I have come accross with students from all over the world. Thus,you don't need to worry, because I'm really patient about your learning journey and I'll guide you the best I can. Also,I love to travel abroad, have international friends, and talk about other cultures, languages, history, traveling, and psychology. In my free time, I do hiking, riding a bicycle, and traveling. I'm willing to share my life experiences while listening to others'. I'm energetic, positive, and friendly.
Me as a Teacher
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.
My lessons & teaching style
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.

Turkish Teaching as a Foreign Language İstanbul University Language Center 2023
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 is my all-time favorite in italki! She is always curious, friendly, positive, patient, and encouraging, all while being professional. I’m not stressed of making mistakes with her. Plus, she keeps English to a minimum, which is very important for me. 5 ⭐️ all the time!
