About Me
italki teacher since Jun 5, 2020Interest topicHistoryArtTravelReadingMusic
Hello,
I’m Sertaç, a native Turkish speaker and a professional Turkish teacher from Turkey.
After graduating from ‘Turkish Language and Literature’ department, I had a master’s degree on ‘Turkish grammar’. Since 2013, I have been working on a university in Turkey as researcher.
My professional interest is on ‘teaching Turkish as a foreign language’ for nearly five years. I consider myself an experienced teacher on both one-on-one lessons/courses on online and on group courses in classroom. In addition to teaching experience, I have the ‘Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language Certificate’ approved by Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University.Me as a Teacher
Generally speaking, people who took lessons describe me as ‘organized, patient and interested’, as a teacher.
As someone trying to learn a foreign language that is very different from his native language, I'm well aware that the thing that a student expects most from her/his teacher in the language learning process is ‘patience’; expecially when you are trying to talk. That’s why this is one of the points I pay most attention to. So, I'm particularly happy that this was noticed.
Generally, I love communicating with people from different cultures. So, in my classes, I think that I am naturally a good listener when I have an opportunity to interact with someone living in a different country.My lessons & teaching style
I give different types of lessons so every one of them requires specific methods and approaches.
The four basic language skills, ‘listening’, ‘speaking’, ‘reading’ and ‘writing’ should be developed as equally as possible. This is my main focus all the time. But, some people want to focus just one or some of these skills for personal reasons. For this reason, student’s wants and needs are decisive on general Turkish courses.
Besides that, the literature and literature-based courses are essentially centered around the practice of reading and talking about authentic texts. In other words, reading and trying to think in Turkish are two components of them.My teaching material

I have been learning Turkish with Sertaç for over 8 months and I have completed 60 lessons with him. Sertaç is an amazing teacher and I would highly recommend him! Since I started learning Turkish with Sertaç my Turkish has really improved. I really enjoy our lessons together because he is always well-prepared, patient and encouraging. Our lessons are also really varied and interesting. In our lessons Sertaç ensures that I also learn about Turkish culture, literature, and history. I feel lucky that I’m able to learn Turkish with him and I hope to continue learning Turkish with him for a long time.

Our lessons with “benim öğretmenim😁” are very perfect! Everytime I learn new informations a lot. We speak a lot of Turkish and gradually learn new grammatical rules. Such type of lessons suits me best. I see progress in my knowledge and I want to continue my studies with teacher Sertaç. Always I wait new lessons very much.
Çok teşekkür ederim😊

I highly recommend Sertaç, since he is a very professional and friendly teacher. I have enjoyed his classes and learnt a lot. He has a wide knowledge not only about language, but about literature and culture as well. His lessons are well prepared and structured, so you will learn a lot.
Sertaç çok profesyonel ve iyi kalpli bir öğretmen. Sadece dil hakkında değil, edebiyat ve kültür hakkında da çok bilgisi olduğu için dersi hakikatten çok faydalı oluyor. Dersi aynı zamanda da çok iyi hazırlanmış ve bu yüzden çok verimli.
Hocam, tekrardan teşekkür ederim, görüşmek üzere! :)

Turkish is certainly a hard language for someone who have just got started. But Sertaç is super patient and always explains everything very well :)

This was another great lesson with Sertaç. He's also very flexible and also able to change plans when he sees I'm struggling at some points.
Thanks!
