My professional journey spans 16 years, during which I have honed my skills as a native-like English and French language teacher, translator, and teacher trainer. Having lived in Australia and being a native of Iran, I bring a multicultural perspective to my teaching. I am currently based in Istanbul, where I have successfully taught at prominent institutions, such as Bahçeşehir College, Şehit Mehmet Güder government high school, Cambridge Line language school, and English Time language school.
Beyond traditional teaching roles, I have actively engaged in international conferences as a simultaneous interpreter, covering topics ranging from Seismic Retrofitting to International Investment opportunities and Machinery, Machine tools, and Metalworking. This diverse experience has enriched my linguistic capabilities and cultural understanding.

Hello! My name is Chelsi!

I have a deep passion for teaching students of all ages and levels both offline and online.

Learning a language is its own adventure. You will be faced with obstacles but that is what makes it even more exciting, to see you overcome them with my skills and expertise.

I also believe that learning must be fun and interactive!


I also have fundamental knowledge of Spanish and French.

I specialized in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, speaking and writing.

My hobbies are travelling, singing, dancing, cooking, swimming.

If you would like to learn more on how to improve your fluency and communication skills, book a lesson with me and I will help you to get where you need and want to be.

I am convinced that my profile, enthusiasm, academic record, professional experience, and interpersonal skills make me an ideal candidate to work at your school.

One of my longest and most remarkable experiences in teaching foreign languages was under the French Ministry of Education at a high school in Paris, Janson de Sailly High School. This experience brought me effective leadership and ability to connect with students by using information tools or technology. In this high school, I formulated lesson plans, created teaching material, and nurtured an engaging and motivating learning environment. My students always achieved successful learning outcomes.
Moreover, I hold a bachelor’s degree in English, French, Italian and Spanish languages, and literature as well as a master’s degree in literature, languages, and culture at University of Bourgogne, in France, and in Italy. These studies have served me well during my career as a passionate, flexible, energetic, inspirational, positive team-player, collaborative, solution- oriented and dynamic educator for students from 11 and 12 years old in Thailand and Madagascar (Africa); from 14 years old and above in France, and for adults in Canada and Malaysia. Thus, I could develop analytical, communication and interpersonal skills. Besides, my experience in lesson planning, verbal communication, student confidence building, assessment, and performance evaluation can be an asset to your school.

More recently my focus has been in the Thai education sector, where I have been teaching General and Business English, and French to college and secondary level students as part of their overall curriculum. One of my strengths during this experience has been my ability to work effectively with both Thai and Burmese students and develop them into efficient learners and successfully motivate them to make significant progress in their second language acquisition. I believe I can be an excellent role model for students.
