Hello! I am a Turkish instructor born in Istanbul and a native Turkish speaker with 6 years of experience. I have completed my university education in three different disciplines: a major in Turkish Language and Literature, a double major in History, and a minor in Sociology. In addition to Turkish, I also speak English and Arabic. You can consider me a linguist because I have a strong inclination toward learning new languages.

Me as a Teacher
have been working as a language instructor for four years. I taught English in an NGO for two years. I received a "Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language" certificate from Istanbul Cerrahpaşa University and Liechtenstein Language School. One of the certificates I obtained focused on programming and grammar, while the other focused on the practical usage of body language.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I utilize materials and employ methods that facilitate the development of grammar, reading, writing, listening, and vocabulary learning in each area.

Yagmur is a wonderful person. Initially, I began learning Turkish for fun, but her approach has motivated me to study it seriously. She makes each class interesting by weaving my interests into the lessons. Her unique way of integrating cultural discussions with language learning makes the experience very enriching. I'm truly grateful to have Yagmur as my teacher.

Yağmur is like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day, literally - her name means 'rain' in Turkish, and she does shower you with knowledge.
She is very intelligent, kind and patient. Her understanding of the language seems amazing. She explains things with such clarity even the most confusing Turkish grammar rules become as simple as counting baklava flakes.
The lessons are well structured and fun, you will find yourself eagerly anticipating your next lesson.
I've gone from stuttering through basic greetings to basic conversations in Turkish, and I've never been great at learning languages.
If you are serious about wanting to learn Turkish while having fun and making good progress, look no further than Yağmur. She's the tutor you didn't know you needed, the Turkish teacher extraordinaire, and an all-around linguistic legend. I can confidently say that my Turkish skills will become as robust as a Turkish coffee.

Really enjoyed the lesson. Time went really fast, but was able to go through a lot of stuff in short time. We focused on basic conversation and rules for some Turkish grammar when plural.
Great teacher ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yağmur has been a great teacher. Starting out I had a very limited understanding of Turkish and really wanted someone to provide structure to my learning and more importantly to have a person there to hold myself accountable to. As someone who can struggle with consistency, I knew it was the right decision to look for someone to have my back throughout the process. She is always prepared with a high level of understanding of the material and is incredibly professional in how she guides, prompts and challenges you throughout the lesson, always taking note of your shortcomings and nudging you along when you need help. In addition, she's just relatable and I always enjoy our conversations.
Just like the rain sparks new life, Yağmur can spark your journey in Turkish.

In the spirit of scientific enquiry, I tested and I can now confirm Yagmur surpasses Chat GPT in everyway imaginable. I compared her against all versions of the app; 3.5 Default, 3.5 Legacy, 4o, it doesn't matter! She's better than all of them. There's a rumour going around that Open AI are trying to steal Yagmur to aide their research in Artificial Intelligence, so I would book your lessons with Yagmur quickly before she's exported to Silicon Valley.
