The highlight of my week! We covered so much in our lesson today and Hüma provided me with relevant resources to improve my weak areas which we identified in our last lesson. Although structured, our lessons are filled with so much variety which I love ☺️

Another amazing lesson with Hüma - I learn so much valuable information in every lesson, slides prepared are so useful and organised. She provides very helpful and clear examples to consolidate my knowledge. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn and improve their Turkish. Teşekkür ederim ❤️

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Hüma. She took the time to prepare so many materials, to understand my level and why I want to learn Turkish in order to prepare a suitable lesson plan. An hour flew by so quick and I felt like I was spending time with a friend - I look forward to our classes together! 🥰
