Hello/ Merhaba!
This is Sibel from İstanbul, Turkey. I am an English, Spanish and Turkish instructor in a university. In 2015, I got graduated from Istanbul University English Language and Literature department. Now I am doing my masters about ELT (English Language Teaching)
Travelling is my biggest passion. I have been to more than 35 countries. Therefore, I love sharing my experiences with others and I love learning about new cultures and languages.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Well, my teaching journey started years ago in South America. I packed my luggage and decided to go to Lima, Peru and worked there as a teacher. That was when I realised that I was born to teach. It was an amazing experience to know that I was making a difference in my students' lives. I learned a lot of things from Peru. This was also the beginning of my love for South America. After Peru, I decided to go to Colombia as a volunteer and worked with kids and adults in a library.
Now I knew that this was my dream job so I decided to take my CELTA and the pedagogical formation and I did Since than I have been working as an instructor in a university in İstanbul.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
No matter which language we teach, the most important thing is to know your students. Why does he/she want to learn this language? How old is he? What does he like? When you know the student you are ready to prepare your lesson accordingly! Nobody wants to listen to a lesson which is not interesting. A lesson should not be about grammar rules only, it should focus on communication & speaking. Most importantly, it should be FUN'

Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language - Yıldız Technical University - 2020
Sibel is an amazing teacher, I can't wait to book more lessons and become a regular student to get fluent in Turkish! I'm a false beginner in Turkish (I used to be very good at it...10 years ago!) and thought I had forgotten almost all of it, and that I would have to start from scratch all over again. But Sibel trusted my skills and challenged me with fun topics, questions, grammar and "woke up" a lot of vocabulary I thought I had forgotten. I also appreciated that I was invited to think how to say things in Turkish, instead of defaulting to English as a comfort zone, while the entire time the environment felt really safe, friendly and warm! Thank you Sibel and see you soon!

Sibel is one of the best language teachers I have had, after learning more than 9 languages over a decade. She encourages you to use what you've learned and actually speak the language! Her lessons are fun and interactive, and if you learn quickly, she can also make them more productive and challenging. She is always very energetic and positive in our classes. I cannot recommend a teacher more than Sibel.
