Talk Turkish and English with Başak who is a 16+5 Years Experienced Teacher for Adults & Kids I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started teaching Turkish while studying Turkish Language and Literature at university. I completed my master's degree in the History department in English. I have been teaching Turkish professionally for more than 16 years. I also taught Turkish for 5 years when I was a university student. In 2018, I obtained a TESOL certificate and also began teaching English. I speak English and a bit of Italian. I also studied Persian and German grammar. I am interested in literature. I hold firmly to two main principles: creating a comfortable space for learning and building an encouraging atmosphere. My students often describe me as patient, positive, and well-organised. Over time, I’ve found my own way of making Turkish feel easier, more enjoyable, and more practical to learn. I love shaping each lesson around my students’ interests, needs, and learning styles. I adapt my teaching to the needs of students with special conditions, such as ADHD and OCD. In my lessons, you’ll never feel afraid of making mistakes. Before long, you’ll start noticing them on your own and correcting yourself naturally. Even though I use a communicative approach, my lessons are supported by a solid understanding of grammar, as Turkish has a very different structure. I use the course book set which follows a strategic approach to learning Turkish and English and includes all language skills—reading, grammar, writing, listening, watching, and speaking—from A1 to C2.

I've really enjoyed my lessons with Basak. Her teaching style is really intuitive and she does a really good job breaking things down. She's also very kind, personable and patient which helps contribute to a fruitful learning environment. I would highly recommend her.

Başak is a fantastic teacher to my 7yr old daughter who is trilingual (English, Dutch and now Turkish). I am Turkish and it’s really impressive to see how well her diction as well as vocabulary have increased in such a short amount of time. She even creates sentences on her own now and it’s such a delight to observe. Başak is also a wonderful person to interact with and she’s just so good with my daughter. I highly recommend her to anyone, young and old trying to learn Turkish!

Had a great introductory lesson with Başak! She was very friendly, kind, and made me feel comfortable right from the start. Very professional as well — I'm looking forward to continuing my Turkish learning journey with her!

I'm very pleased to have contacted Başak for Turkish tuition. For B1 lessons we've generally used a very good textbook. Başak is creative in introducing new speaking exercises around this to really practice and improve her students' speaking skills, and she makes her lessons flexible if her student wants to focus on a particular area of Turkish. With grammar, Başak explains everything clearly, and she has allowed me to make sense of certain grammar points which would otherwise be quite difficult. With speaking practice, she always kindly gives corrections to improve her students' speaking, and shares suggestions for more natural ways of speaking and sentence structure. Importantly, Başak makes her virtual classroom a welcoming and relaxed environment. She is easy to get on with, she makes language learning fun, and with her, learning a language becomes so much less daunting. I thank Başak for her excellent teaching and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Turkish.

自然なレビューとして書くなら、こちらがおすすめです。 Başak Hanım, ders gününü benim programıma göre oldukça esnek bir şekilde ayarladı. Ders sırasında da seviyeme uygun bir şekilde konuştu ve şu an hangi seviyede olduğumu, bundan sonra nelere çalışmam gerektiğini sabırla ve ayrıntılı bir şekilde anlattı. Bundan sonra Türkçemi geliştirecek olmak beni çok heyecanlandırıyor. Çok teşekkür ederim!

I’ve been learning Turkish with Başak for the last couple of weeks, and she has been such a wonderful teacher! She really takes the time to adapt to my learning style and is incredibly patient whenever I make a mistake. Even after just a few lessons, I can already see significant progress, and my Turkish has improved so much. I love how she tailors the lessons to my specific needs and always comes prepared with plenty of exercises and great materials. Beyond being a talented instructor, she is so kind and polite. Overall, I’d highly recommend her to anyone!
