About Me
Hi! My name is Lala 🌷

I am a native Russian speaker and a fluent Turkish speaker. I grew up in a Russian-speaking family, studied at a Russian school, and completed my university education in Russian. Russian has always been a natural part of my daily life. I also speak Turkish fluently and use it confidently in both everyday life and professional communication.

I have experience teaching both Russian and Turkish to students from different language backgrounds. I have helped Turkish speakers learn Russian and assisted English-speaking students in learning both Russian and Turkish through personalized, practical lessons.

In my classes, you'll learn the modern, everyday language that native speakers actually use. I focus on real communication, clear explanations, and practical vocabulary instead of overwhelming you with unnecessary theory. ✨

Every lesson is personalized according to your level, goals, and learning style. Whether you're learning Russian or Turkish for travel, work, studies, or personal interest, I'll help you build confidence and start speaking naturally from the very first lessons—without being afraid of making mistakes. ☺️

I believe learning a language should be enjoyable, motivating, and effective. Together, we'll create a comfortable learning environment where you can make steady progress at your own pace.

Book your first lesson, and let's start your journey to speaking Russian or Turkish with confidence! 🌺
Education
I completed my primary and secondary education at a Russian-language school, where I developed a strong academic foundation in the Russian language, literature, and communication. I later earned my university degree with Russian as the language of instruction, allowing me to further strengthen my language skills in both academic and professional settings.
Experience / Qualifications
In addition to my formal education, I have practical experience teaching Russian and Turkish to learners from different language backgrounds. This combination of academic knowledge and real teaching experience helps me explain grammar clearly, improve pronunciation, and make language learning enjoyable and effective for students of all levels.

Hatice
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.
