Fun Turkish Language Lessons from a Literature Student

From 23 £ /h

I am a Literature Master's Student in Leiden University with a background in tutoring, translation and editing in Turkish-English dialects and texts as well as academic exams like IELTS.

As I continue my degree, I would like to teach the wonderful Turkish language to those interested.

The courses will be given in English and we will be creating a schedule to fit your needs. From daily small talk to grammar, from alphabet to business dialect, all will be suited to your needs and wants.

My main purpose is to open up the pathway to connection through languages and cultures.

The course can be given to up to 8 people. More would be hard to keep up.

Hope to talk to you soon!

Best,
Zeynep

About Me

Life is full of little things, and in my opinion, one of the best ways to enjoy it is to learn more. Everyday, anything, any time.
I am in the process of finding my path and as I am doing that, maybe you can help me help you gain a new language.

Turkish is a mixture of European (mostly French), Arabic and Farsi languages, and it is an interesting one. To understand the complicated Turkish culture, I invite you to get to know the language first.

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.

We are all babies to a new language! So, let's go out of the box and learn it according to scientifically proven ways and how the language center in our brain works.

I teach Turkish and English as a second language. I have the required high education with university diploma. Years experience on teaching my own language to foreigners and have full awareness of cultural differences. I use good materials, examples and sense of humor during the lessons. You see a helper/leader rather than a strict teacher since I prefer Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) approach and +1 method in language class.
I am also able to teach English by using English to any level. You may contact me without hesitation.

ENGLISH: I have been teaching Turkish and Dutch to local and international adults and their children living in the Netherlands since 2020.
My main motivation for teaching my mother language is to contribute to Turkish children’s bilingual achievement and help Dutch-Turkish people close the cultural gap in their families.
My lessons are based on the needs of the individuals such as communication in daily life, reading business or project management documents and enjoying their time while exploring Turkish culture and cuisine.
*******************************
NEDERLANDS: Sinds 2020 geef ik Turkse en Nederlandse lessen aan lokale en internationale volwassenen en hun kinderen die in Nederland wonen.
Mijn belangrijkste motivatie om mijn moedertaal te onderwijzen, is om bij te dragen aan de tweetalige prestaties van Turkse kinderen en om Nederlands-Turkse mensen te helpen de culturele kloof in hun gezin te dichten.
Mijn lessen zijn gebaseerd op de behoeften van de individuen, zoals communicatie in het dagelijks leven, het lezen van zakelijke of projectmanagementdocumenten en genieten van hun tijd tijdens het verkennen van de Turkse cultuur en keuken.
*******************************
TÜRKÇE: 2020 yılından beri Hollanda'da yaşayan Türklere, yabancılara ve onların çocuklarına Türkçe ve Hollandaca öğretiyorum.
Anadilimi öğretmekteki temel motivasyonum, Türk çocuklarının iki dilde iletişimine katkıda bulunmak ve Hollandalı-Türk aile bireyleri arasındaki kültürel uçurumu kapatmalarına yardımcı olmaktır.
Derslerim, günlük yaşamda iletişim, iş veya proje yönetimi belgelerini okumak ve Türk kültürü ile mutfağını keşfederek keyifli vakit geçirmek gibi bireylerin ihtiyaçlarına yöneliktir.

Hello.

I'm a teacher in both mainstream and special education. I don't speak Dutch, but my English is reasonable. I'm looking for a teaching position. I worked in Turkey for a total of five years: three years as a teacher in mainstream education and two years in special education (for children with disabilities). I'm looking for people who want to teach reading and writing to people with limited Turkish language skills.
I give private lessons to people with special educational needs (people with disabilities).
