Hello!
I’m Leyla, a certified IELTS teacher with a bilingual upbringing (Turkish/English) and a passion for making language learning joyful.
Having lived across Europe and Asia, I bring a multicultural perspective to lessons—perfect for students who want to learn naturally through culture, conversation, and creativity. Whether you’re preparing for exams or just love languages, let’s turn challenges into progress with a smile!
Merhaba! Ben Leyla, ana dilleri İngilizce ve Türkçe olan alanında uzman bir öğretmenim. Dil öğrenmeyi eğlenceli hale getiriyorum! İskoçya’dan Hindistan’a uzanan deneyimlerimle derslerime renk katıyorum. Sınavlarınız veya günlük İngilizceniz için derslere başlayalım!
I have sat in the student seat many times, so I relate to the difficulties you might be facing.
I studied languages at high school, and "Translation and Interpretation Studies" at Yeditepe university.
I gained my CELTA teaching certificate while I was living in Edinburgh. Since then I have had experience teaching both in classroom environments and one to one classes.

Leyla is an awesome teacher. She always makes sure I put the little Turkish I know into practice and keeps track of what we've learned so far. She is also on top of the grammar and answers all my theoretical questions. I highly recommend working with her!

Great, tailored conversations about chosen topic of interest. Leyla is very patient, speaks on my level so I can understand and learn, and explains concepts very well while simplifying language constructs so that they are usable for me. Thank you!
