Certified TEFL teacher with more than 10 years of experience My first experience as a teacher was in my martial arts club in Pittsburgh. I taught for 10 years. Though this seems quite different from teaching a language, it was, in fact, excellent preparation for my career as an English teacher. Learning correct pronunciation involves learning unfamiliar movements. It is much more a physical skill than an academic exercise. To achieve fluency in speaking, one cannot carefully think about each word or phrase --- words and phrases must be automatic. To learn to speak automatically, one must practice regularly and diligently. I prefer to correct a student's mistakes immediately so that s/he is more likely to remember the correct usage.

During my over 15 years teaching experience, I have had the opportunity to teach all levels of students from young learners all the way up to university level and business professionals. Whether you want to practice the basics, learn to talk about a wide range of topics or improve your business English, I can help you reach your goals.

All of this will be done naturally as I don't want anyone to feel overwhelmed by English, particularly when speaking with me.

Job Interview Expert (Former Recruiter), Certified IELTS Tutor (Cambridge CELTA) Hi, I’m Ömer. I work with professionals and ambitious learners who already know English, but want to use it more clearly and effectively in real situations. Over the years, I’ve coached many professionals in high-stakes job interviews and helped many learners improve their English for IELTS, business, and everyday communication. I’m from Turkey and I hold a Cambridge CELTA certificate. I've been teaching for more than ten years now. Before becoming a teacher, I spent years in HR and recruitment for international companies, so I’ve seen the process from both ends. I understand what interviewers pay attention to, and I know where even strong candidates often struggle. That background gives me a different perspective. My lessons are practical, tailored to your goals, and focused on what you actually need. I see my role more as a coach than a traditional teacher. I’m there for you between lessons, I give clear feedback, and I support your progress over time. In our lessons, we focus on how you express yourself, how you structure your ideas, and how you sound — so you can communicate more clearly and naturally. If you’re looking for a calm, focused space to improve, with clear direction and honest feedback, book a trial lesson. Let’s talk about your goals and build a plan that fits your needs.
