Fluent English–Turkish bilingual educator with a calm, supportive, and student-focused teaching style.

I am a fluent English–Turkish bilingual with a CELTA qualification and professional experience teaching English in secondary education. While my formal teaching experience is in English language instruction, I have strong native-level Turkish skills and have recently completed a Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language Certificate (2026). This has given me the practical tools to begin supporting learners of Turkish in a structured and student-friendly way. My background includes working with young learners, supporting mixed-ability students, and helping individuals build confidence in communication. I currently work in exam environments, including supporting students with SEN, which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to tailor support to individual needs. Through my teaching experience and international training work, I have developed strong communication skills and the ability to explain language clearly and simply. Key strengths include: Native-level Turkish and fluent English CELTA-qualified language teaching approach Experience working with children and teenagers Supportive and patient teaching style Ability to adapt lessons to different learning needs Strong focus on building confidence in communication I am passionate about helping learners develop practical Turkish language skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
