Practical Turkish for Beginners, Conversation, Work and Life in Türkiye

From 23 £ /h

Learn Turkish in a practical, personalised way built around your goals and the situations where you actually want to use the language.

I am a native Turkish speaker and bilingual language educator with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English Language Teaching, a Cambridge CELTA qualification, and more than seven years of language teaching experience.

Lessons can focus on Turkish from the beginning, everyday conversation, living in Türkiye, work-related communication, pronunciation, vocabulary, natural expressions, and becoming more confident when speaking.

When useful, I can explain Turkish clearly in English, especially for beginners who need support understanding how the language works. As your confidence grows, we can gradually use more Turkish during lessons.

Activities may include guided conversation, role-plays, practical vocabulary, real-life scenarios, pronunciation work, speaking practice, and personalised materials based on your interests and goals.

My aim is to help you understand and use Turkish naturally and confidently in real life.

Extra information

Before our first lesson, please tell me your current Turkish level, your goals, and the situations in which you would most like to use Turkish. This helps me prepare the lesson around you.

Aynı zamanda Yabancılara Türkçe dersleri de vermekteyim. (İngilizce açıklamalı) 20 yıl boyunca çok sayıda büyük şirketin yabancı genel müdürlerine ve üst düzey yöneticilerine Türkçe öğrettim.

Sıfırdan İngilizceye başlayan kişiler veya gruplara da genel İngilizce dersleri vermekteyim. Daha önce hiç İngilizce dersi görmemiş olanlara ya da İngilizce öğrenmekte güçlük çekenlere de İngilizceyi konuşma ve anlama garantisi veriyorum.

i am a teacher who has 25 years of private teaching experience, has worked as an English instructor at an elite state university, teaches English at all levels and for all age groups, loves her job, and loves teaching in general. I can give face-to-face or online lessons in Istanbul and surrounding areas.

I also teach English to those who do not know English at all, know it very little, or think that they cannot learn English at all.

My specialization is English exam preparation, English and translation lessons for beginners. So far, I have given private lessons to hundreds of students of all ages and almost all of them passed their exams successfully.

I also give Turkish lessons to foreigners. (English explanation) For 20 years, I taught Turkish to foreign general managers and senior managers of many large companies.

I also give general English lessons to people or groups who are starting to learn English from scratch. I guarantee speaking and understanding English for those who have never taken an English lesson before or who have difficulty learning English.

🖐🏻 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.

What is a language?
A language is a mode of communication that people uses for effective communication.Zambian languages are a must to know whenever someone is interacting with many Zambians across the world and in Zambia.
Why you need to know how to speak Zambian languages ?
1.To gain confidence when in a conversation with Zambians.
2.To improve your communication skills .
3.To make agreeable deals with Zambians.
4.To avoid exploitation or any of it's possibility
5.To win indigenous Zambian hearts-Zambians are social people who loves someone who relates with them.Knowing a Zambian language is just one effective way you could instantly relate with many Zambians.
6.To be a Zambian languages Tutor as well.

A big question remains, do you need to know all the Zambian languages?
One sharp short answer is a big NO!
Why? It's because in Lusaka and all the other Zambian provinces NYANJA is the most spoken language.
On the other hand, BEMBA is dominant on the Copperbelt, Luapula, Muchinga and Northern province.Actually it's the second most spoken language after NYANJA.
Thirdly, TONGA is the widely spoken language in the Southern province of the country.
Lastly, Mambwe is a dominating language in Northern province and partially in Muchinga Province.

Now which Zambian language can one choose to be taught?
Answers;
1.A language that is dominant to where you will be working from -In Zambia
2.A language mostly spoken by your workmates
3.Your indigenous Zambian language.Good for those born from Zambian parents but raised overseas.
4.Your Zambian language of your interest .

I can't wait to take you through for a class.Book me today.
See you in class.

Creative writing can sound daunting, but we all have stories within us - whether novels, short fiction or simply pieces we write for ourselves. Whether you're an experienced writer or just beginning, we can work together to develop and improve your writing skills, covering everything from character and plot to dialogue, pace and structure. As an author of four novels (two published by Head of Zeus and two by Quercus) I have extensive experience of working with an agent, and editorial publishers, can offer valuable insights into the world of publishing. Writing is like a muscle; the more you use it, the better you become, and through a variety of writing exercises and different techniques, we can focus on helping you produce your best writing.

I am also an experienced proofreader and editor and can help you improve existing works and ready them for submission.

Would you like to improve your Spanish, become more confident when speaking, or need some extra help with Spanish at school?

I'm a native Spanish speaker from Spain, currently living and working in Brussels, with previous experience teaching both Spanish and English in Spain.

I offer personalised Spanish classes for children, teenagers and adults, adapting each lesson to the student's age, level and objectives.

For adults and older students, classes can focus on conversation and practical Spanish. We can work on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar through topics such as everyday life, travel, Spanish culture, current affairs or work.

For children and teenagers, I can also provide Spanish school support, helping with homework, vocabulary, grammar, reading, speaking and preparation for tests or exams. Lessons can follow what the student is currently learning at school, with additional explanations and practice whenever needed.

I like to create a friendly and relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, speaking and making mistakes. I believe learning a language is much easier when lessons are engaging and adapted to the individual rather than following the same approach for everyone.

Whether you want to improve your Spanish for school, work, travel or everyday conversation, the classes will be adapted to your needs.

Classes can be held in person in Brussels or online.
