About Me

I am Leyla. I am an artist who works mainly with acrylics and like to experiment with different mediums. Currently I live in a campground located on a hiking trail called Lycian Way in southwestern Turkey. I left Istanbul to live a slower life and pursue art while enjoying nature. My native language is Turkish, I studied Modern Greek language and literature at Istanbul University. At the moment I am an independent language learner studying Russian, German and Portuguese as a hobby. I love languages, literature, animals, nature, art and meeting new friends :)
If you want to book a lesson with me but can not find a time slot that suits you, feel free to contact.Me as a Teacher
I like to focus on speaking practice with my students. Please note that I am not a professional teacher, I’m a comunity tutor. I want you to feel comfortable while speaking and be exposed to the Turkish language. Make mistakes. Take your time. Express yourself freely.My lessons & teaching style
My main courses are conversation practice lessons. I will ask you general questions for our first lesson to make you speak. For the following lessons, as we get to know each other I could ask more specific questions in line with your interests, or we could decide what to talk about together.
I could suggest new vocab when you feel lost, and also help with your sentence structure and pronunciation if needed. Let me know where you stand on corrections cause you feeling comfortable is my main priority.
If you would like to practice something very specific, please let me know in advance.My teaching material

Leyla completely transformed my Turkish speaking ability over the course of a few months. When I started lessons with her, I struggled to speak with confidence, always stuttering and hesitating and second-guessing myself, often giving up mid-sentence in exasperation. It was also a great struggle to understand what I was hearing in a conversation; I’d get stuck on one word and then lose the trail of the rest of the sentence.
Now, thanks to Leyla, I am able to effortlessly comprehend and express myself confidently in ways I never thought I’d be able to.
Leyla makes you feel totally comfortable while challenging you to expand your linguistic capabilities. Class with her feels like chatting with an old friend, but one who is really dedicated to strengthening your language skills. Thank you Leyla!!

After a few months of lessons, I'm quite amazed how much I've learnt ☺️ Most of all, the lessons and the exercises are fun to me, but Leyla is like a good gym trainer who finds ways to make you do three more push-ups & go the extra mile. She has a great understanding of how languages work & what nuances you should pay attention to, she can find examples from other languages to explain what a word means *exactly* & while she'll find you tons of fun extras & challenges, she's also responsible & reliable which I also appreciate a lot! I'm very grateful for this learning experience 😍
