Hi, I am Hatice from Istanbul.

I HAVE BEEN TEACHİNG ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE FOR 25 YEARS.
I am a native speaker of Turkish and was born in Istanbul.

I have been teaching Turkish to foreigners and I have taught hundreds of students from all ages and professions for more than 20 years. I am a professional English teacher but I like teaching Turkish more as it is my mother tongue and it is a great pleasure for me to share its secrets and beauty.

While teaching I also love giving some useful information about the culture, people, cuisine, films and literature in Turkey to help you get connected to Turkish culture. I prepare written and verbal dialogues in the areas the student is interested in.

I am from Istanbul but I traveled almost all cities, mountains, rivers, lakes in Turkey. I am a person who likes less traveled roads and back streets. Traveling around the world and reading on the areas of spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and literature are my number one hobbies. I lived and worked in London, Toronto, and S. Korea. Living as an expat and learning several languages have helped me having sympathy with my students. Motivation, feeling relaxed and setting realistic targets, in the beginning, are usually the first thing to go.

As for my formal education, I studied Economics, International Relations, Western Philosophy, and American language and literature at the university (MA and BA). And after my 40 years old, I learned classical Arabic and Persian and started to study Islamic spirituality at the doctorate level. I taught English at Prep. school at Istanbul Technical University and Yeditepe University and am retired. Ever since I could remember I have been a teacher. Now I only teach Turkish privately and translate classical novels from English to Turkish. I translated 12 books from English to Turkish.

I teach Turkish that is tailored for each student. Each student is unique for me and I know that every student has her/his own way of learning.
If you are a beginner I give a short lecture about the history of Turkish and its characteristics and help you find your way in this very logical, consistent and elegant language. You understand that Turkish is different but that does not necessarily mean difficulty.
From the first lesson, you start speaking Turkish and find yourself in a dialogue.

I can teach at my place and your place (all around Istanbul).

I use several books using a grammar-based approach integrated with communicative methods to boost the development of all language skills. But we always focus on TALK, TALK, TALK. As a language learner for many years, I know one can learn, improve and take pleasure in a foreign language only by talking and communicating. It is essential to get direct pleasure from what you have learned. My aim is to motivate and inspire you to speak Turkish ignoring minor mistakes and without thinking grammar.

I try to keep in contact with my students almost every day through whatsapp and email. And start some short dialogues.

I am a Turkish teacher. I graduated in Turkey with a BA in Languages. The classes I offer are from basic to academic level, so for children, students, expats and adults. That focus is on learning grammar, speaking,, reading and writing. If you want to learn Turkish for vacation, work, family or just as a hobby, I can certainly help you. I use Turkish grammar books, podcast, websites for learning Turkish and other study materials. and the rate is lower from 5 lessons.

Normally a student with a motivation to learn the language learns basic Turkish in 10 or 15 lessons. Both private and group lessons (The Hague) are available.

Master German with confidence through lessons that combine clear explanations, practical dialogue, and cultural insight.
Whether you’re learning for travel, study, or work, I’ll help you build a solid foundation in grammar, pronunciation, and everyday conversation, without feeling overwhelmed.

You’ll learn to:
• 🗣️ Speak naturally and confidently in real-life situations
• 🧩 Understand grammar through examples, not memorization
• 🎧 Improve your listening and pronunciation step by step
• 🌍 Discover the culture, expressions, and mindset behind the language

Having studied and lived in Germany, I know how challenging yet rewarding it can be to truly feel comfortable speaking German. My goal is to make your learning experience structured, motivating, and fun.

Let’s build your fluency together one meaningful conversation at a time.

Hi! I am an experienced English and Turkish Tutor who has been working with students from all around the world for more than 4 years. I've been arranging Business English, Academic English, IELTS / TOEFL Exam preparation lessons as well as General Turkish classes from A1 to C1 with individuals from Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa and the Americas. I am ready to welcome my new students worldwide.

I focus on sharpening students' speaking skills in my classes. My main methodology is based on helping learners express themselves confidently and clearly in the target language. In 4 years of my teaching career, not only have I developed my own methodologies but also privatized classes and materials according to each learner's demands and needs. Besides, I support learners who face difficulties in prononcation during language acquisition with effective elocution lessons in both languages. Besides, I speak French.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any questions.

🖐🏻 HI, SALUT, MERHABA! 🖐🏻
How are you doing? Comment allez-vous? Nasılsınız?
Thanks for having a look at my profile!
Here is the pathway we will follow in our lessons!
We will start our lessons by learning the most basic skills such as correct pronunciation and simple grammar rules.
We will continue to improve our speaking, listening and grammar levels by learning new informations step by step.
Based on my 13 years of experience, I think that A1 level is a very important period in language learning. When learning any language, beginner level students should learn it in the correct order and important details should be explained well by practising previous ones. Students at more advanced levels, such as A2, B1 or above, also need to practice their skills at the previous level thoroughly to improve their language skills. I try to provide good teaching by paying attention to these important points in my lessons. I keep our lessons' notes in a word file. After our lessons, I send you back all the additional notes and exercises that we covered in our lesson as a Word file.

In this course, you will embark on a linguistic journey to learn Arabic, one of the world’s oldest and most widely spoken languages, or Darija, a dialect of Arabic spoken in Morocco. Whether you’re a beginner or have some knowledge of Arabic, this course will cater to your needs and pace.

The course will cover the basics of Arabic or Darija, including the alphabet, vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. You will learn through a variety of interactive methods such as dialogues, exercises, and cultural immersion.

But this course is not just about language learning. It’s about discovering a new world. As you learn Arabic or Darija, you will also explore the rich history, culture, and traditions of the Arab world. This cultural understanding will enrich your language learning experience and give you a deeper appreciation of the Arabic-speaking world.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in Arabic or Darija and a greater understanding of the cultures where these languages are spoken. You will be able to communicate effectively in a variety of situations, opening up a new world of opportunities for travel, work, or personal enrichment.
