🎥 I run a Youtube channel dedicated to parrot training, train parrots and I make and sell parrot toys,
but teaching is currently my full time job. I take it seriously and value your time and effort!Me as a Teacher
I DO TURKISH LESSONS IN TURKISH & ENGLISH LESSONS IN ENGLISH - except for when necessary for grammar explanations at earlier levels. This is important because immersion is what makes you feel like you have to speak.
I have been teaching and doing other language related work for about 10 years. I like to provide my students with many opportunities to practice speaking with various activities using different cues because I think using the language in speaking can be a very fulfilling experience for a learner. I find it important to use graded but natural language to provide the best type of exposure. All students from all levels are welcome, I have lots of experience teaching all levels.My lessons & teaching style
In each grammar lesson we will generally begin with isolated grammar practice to gradually widen the scope of our practice to use that particular grammar point in speaking. We will do this first through grammar drills, sentence matching and sentence completion activities. Later on in our lessons we will expand into more speaking focused activities using pictures and vocabulary as cues. I also like to provide you with a learning environment where vocabulary is recycled, so you can benefit from spaced repetition in our lessons. I aim to cover all four areas of learning (listening, speaking, reading and writing) in the lesson plans.My teaching material

I think I hit 45 lessons today with Zeynep! Zeynep is an amazing teacher who has a natural knack for languages herself, so she knows what the learner is experiencing. I have learned so much from her, including important vocabulary, the necessary grammar structures, and expressions to sound more natural. She is also very patient. Sometimes it takes me a while to think of what I need to say and she guides me along with patience and gives me super helpful advice. I can't wait until I am able to speak at a B2+ level, so we can have more advanced conversations. Already, though, I feel like I am learning a lot with each lesson and can notice improvement.

Zeynep is an outstanding Turkish teacher. Her lessons are very efficient, engaging, and personalized. She focuses on making you talk the language with the grammar you know. Introducing new grammar every lessson. The lessons are well-structured, and Zeynep is always prepared and adaptable.
I was initially worried about my software or hardware malfunctioning and loosing valuable time due to it, but Zeynep is always ready to switch between Italki, Skype or Google meets whenever I have any technical issue, so we always get back to the lesson very quickly.
As a beginner, I’ve seen steady progress with each session, which keeps me motivated to continue. Zeynep is both professional and friendly, creating a comfortable, stress-free learning environment.
I highly recommend Zeynep to students who value their time and want to make consistent progress.

Really, Zeynep is an amazing teacher. This was my fourth lesson with her and I wanted to wait until I was sure before writing a review. She has everything someone could want from a foreign language teacher: knowledge, pedagogical skills, the ability to draw out the student, great homework exercises, patience. She is also a truly lovely person. I feel really lucky I chose her for a trial lesson a few weeks ago. She will be a terrific teacher for you if you want to learn Turkish.
