I am an enthusiastic English teacher. I have been retelling stories and writing songs bilingually for more than 15 years. I was fortunate enough to have them published as story books as well as course books. I have visited many schools in Turkey and performed my stories in English and in Turkish to young learners since 2009. I strongly believe that stories, games and songs are the best motivators for young learners. By inviting them on stage, my goal has been to help them build up their confidence and have a positive approach to learn English.
I am more than happy to share my knowledge, skills and experience with my future online students. All lessons will be tailored according to your needs.

Hi, my name is Ayşegül. I graduated from Hacettepe University in the department of English Language Teaching. I'm an English teacher in a private institution now. I can teach both English and Turkish.

First and foremost, I want to start with one of my favourite quotation from Richard Henry Dana(!) (I'm not sure whether this quotation belongs to him or not, but I liked it. :) “He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.” First of all, we as teachers must improve ourselves about everything such as cultural knowledge, technology, best seller books new novels etc. We should keep up with the times and try to understand our students.
Then we should know students’ interests, needs, backgrounds and their level of English / Turkish. If we know the aforementioned things, it would be easier for us to decide what kind of materials we can use to attract their attention. Also, one of the key points is that we should motivate the students to learn. As teachers we should teach our students why they learn language/grammar/vocabulary etc. rather than just memorization. Regarding teaching methods we can use student-centered methods. We should use examples from real life so they can broaden students’ knowledge. Also using examples from real life, help students to internalize the examples. I strongly believe that we should make our students acquire the language from all aspects including reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
All in all, as a teacher we have lots of things to do. One of our most important responsibilities’ is to help students to understand that they have enough power and capacity to learn a language if they are determined enough....

I graduated from Faculty of Arts (English language and literature department) with very good GPA. I've been teaching English for more than six years. I taught all the ages from 3 : 40 years old.
I focus on the communication between the teacher and the students. You will notice the improvement in your language from the first week.
I will be available all the time to answer your questions and help you.
In the first session, I will start with a placement test to check your level. After that, we will start immediately with conversation and reading. We will have a small quiz each week to check your progress.
By the end of the course, you will have a final comprehensive exam to be able to move to the next level.
We will be together step by step. Can't wait to meet all of you.
