About Me
italki teacher since Jun 17, 2021
InterestsFilms & TV SeriesMusicTravelReadingFood
Born and raised in Istanbul, I’m a linguist and Turkologist fluent in 9 languages (C1 English/Kazakh, B2 Russian). My love for Turkish culture began guiding travelers through my city’s hidden gems—breaking language barriers with humor and historical insights. Now, I teach Turkish with the same passion, blending etymology, philosophy, and lively conversation. Whether you’re a traveler, student, or business professional, I’ll make learning feel like exploring a bustling Istanbul bazaar—vibrant, structured, and deeply rewarding. Let’s turn *teşekkür ederim* into second nature!

Efkan is great to work with. He's really focused on my needs and pushes me hard everyday. My Turkish has improved immensely in the few lessons we have had.

Efkan has an incredibly efficient teaching method! Maybe the best method ever! I just realized it because I'm currently working on a research project in which I find myself able to deal with some complicated historical materials independently. Given that I started learning Turkish with Efkan as a beginner 3 months ago, I think it's the best proof of how much I've benefited from his lessons so far ! 🤗
