About Me

Hello! My name is Nezihe and I am a qualified language teacher for 20+ years. I have a B.A in Translation and Interpretation in English and Turkish languages. Additionally, I specialised in ‘Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment’ during my Master’s degree in Education at Walden University in the United States. I have my teaching certificate from Marmara University in Istanbul for K-12 teaching. I am CELTA certified as well. As an international school teacher, I have lived in many different countries such as Romania, Turkey, China, and Uganda. This has given me the opportunity to travel far and wide and to learn about different cultures and ways of living.Me as a Teacher
I have been a teacher since 1998. I taught Turkish in the Turkish Embassy in Bucharest. I have been teaching languages to foreigners for a long time. I taught EFL at a French primary school in Romania and was the head of foreign languages department at a school in Turkey. I am experienced in English Acquisition, the British National Curriculum at primary level, IBMYP I&S, IBMYP History and IGCSE/AS/A Level History for Years 11 & 12. In China, I was Head of English Acquisition and an IB English teacher. I am CELTA certified and have a qualification from Lancaster Uni to teach dyslexic students. I have been working in Uganda at an international school for two years.My lessons & teaching style
First, we will determine your level and goals in your target language either orally during our class, or through a placement test before our first lesson. Our studies will be led according to your set goals, whether that be passing a specific exam or achieving a personal target within a given time. I always prepare lesson plans that meet the needs of each learner because differentiation is one of my priorities. I make sure to use different processes and learning approaches according to students’ learning pace. I find it useful to teach languages by using different presentational tools (many of which I personally have created) such as videos, prezi, emaze or other materials listed below.Certificates

I highly recommend Nezihe as a teacher. This lesson was, as usual, very well-prepared and very engaging. We watched a clip from a Turkish film and read an interview with the director. Nezihe prepares lessons that are carefully matched to my level in Turkish.

I've tried a few Turkish teachers in the past but Nezihe is a cut above! Excellent teacher with well-prepared lessons to help you develop a range of skills, including speaking, listening and writing. I have learnt so much with her and would recommend her to anyone thinking about learning Turkish.

从年初开始一直在上Nezihe老师的土耳其语课，每节课前都非常期待！老师准备的材料丰富知识点排序合理，她总能找到最简明的方式解答我的每个问题，然后根据我的进度调试授课节奏。
老师有旅居中国的经验，对中国文化也了解。和博学又友善的老师上高度personalized的口语课既可以聊老庄，也可以聊帕慕克。虽然我上的是土耳其语课但是因为没有基础所以起初用的英文交流，一箭双雕学习了两种语言；老师两个语言都过硬，学英语的同学也欢迎呀！
I have been taking Turkish lessons with Nezihe since the beginning of the year, and I look forward to every new lesson! She always finds the most concise way to answer each of my questions and adjusts the pace of the lesson according to my progress.
The teacher has experience living in China and understands Chinese culture. With such a knowledgeable and amicable teacher, you get to talk about Lao, Zhuang, and Pamuk in her highly personalized speaking class! Although I took the Turkish class, I spoke English in class because I had no basic communication skills; the teacher is excellent in both languages. If you are interested in Nezihe's English class do sign up for one too!

This was a fun lesson involving a Turkish folk tale and practice exercises on colloquial Turkish phrases. Nezihe provides interesting lessons with a large variety of exercises and activities.
