Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English, Russian, and Turkish since 2016. I started my career while I was a student in Istanbul and have since gained significant experience working with both children and adults. I have taught in Istanbul and Kyiv, and I offer online lessons, allowing me to reach students worldwide.
Professional Experience: Over 8 years of language teaching experience.
Individual Approach: I consider each student's personal goals and interests.
Engaging Lessons: I use diverse topics and methods to make the learning process enjoyable.
Practice: Focus on practical language use.
My lessons & teaching style
I love learning languages myself and understand how challenging the process can be. That’s why I strive to make each lesson not only useful but also interesting. In my classes, we not only learn grammar but also explore local phrases, culture, reading, and exam preparation if needed. The main focus in my approach is practice. I choose diverse and engaging topics to make lessons fun and effective.
If you want to improve your language skills and learn more about Turkish culture, I would be happy to help you.
Contact me to discuss the details and schedule a convenient time for lessons. I look forward to seeing you in my classes!

I find our lessons very enjoyable and productive!
İlknur explains all the complexities of Turkish grammar in an easy and structured way and gives lots of practical examples.
She is also fluent in 2 languages and whenever we struggle to find a relatable example from English grammar we switch to Russian and vice versa, which makes everything easier to comprehend.
Thank you!

İlknur прекрасный преподаватель! Я целенаправленно искала носителя турецкого языка, кто знает русский. И я очень счастлива, что нашла ее! Я пришла вообще не зная турецкий (полный 0), а спустя 3 недели я уже обрела некоторый багаж знаний, которые применяю каждый день. Она очень хорошо и легко объясняет, делает уроки не только продуктивными, но и очень позитивными! После каждого занятия становится все интереснее и интереснее! От души рекомендую занятия с İlknur !!!)))

Ilknur is a great teacher! I'm very happy with my progress. It's obvious that she loves languages and has spent so much time mastering different ones. I appreciate that we can have casual conversation or dig into technical grammar details.

İlknur is a wonderful teacher! She explains everything clearly and simply, without wasting time. She is very attentive and corrects mistakes promptly, while also setting smart priorities in the learning process (for example, skipping rarely used or complicated words from the textbook if they can be replaced with simpler ones — which is important at the beginning). And she know Russian very well, and English of course :) Thank you so much! See you ✨
