About Me
italki teacher since May 21, 2021InterestsHistoryTravelArtFilms & TV SeriesReading
I am a professional Turkish teacher with a degree in Turkish Language and Literature and 7+ years of experience. I have worked voluntarily in high schools, private language schools, government programs and for Syrian refugees. I love my job because I find it fascinating to observe people developing a new language.Me as a Teacher
Regarding to my previous experiences, I am certain that personal mind set is very important on learning Turkish. Grammar is important for a proper use, but to improve, people have to use more fluent stuff on speaking.
I speak about my and students' daily routines, dreams & objectives, memories.. like we are close friends
.. These kind of things are very important to get involved to the culture and meanings.My lessons & teaching style
I have a proven system from beginner to advanced level, also i can set a tailored class based on your needs such as daily use, business, short term touristic travel etc.
I measure the progress of the student and discuss the development points & focus areas.
The tools&methods i use:
- LANGUAGE OF THE SONGS: Learn the meanings, usage and connections via the fastest and most enjoyable way.
- LANGUAGE OF THE EYE: Letter cards for situations, vocabulary and other memorization needs.
- GRAMMAR EASY: Slides to make the tough grammar funny and easy to learn
- WATCH & UNDERSTAND: Short videos for all kind of learning needs: Dialogues, Q / A; mini documentaries, mostly used for grammars.My teaching material

She explains everything very well! The textbooks and resources she uses are also extremely helpful. I enjoy my classes with her and it’s only been a couple classes but we’ve already done so much and are already on Unit 3! The classes are fun and I don’t even notice the time passing by! Tuba is an amazing teacher!
