Hello! My name is Pelin, I'm from Türkiye, and I'm a certified Turkish language teacher :)
Merhaba! Ben Pelin, Türküm, ve sertifikalı bir Türkçe öğretmeniyim :)
I'm fascinated by all things about languages, especially my native-tongue Turkish. With this motivation, I pursued a Linguistics MA degree in Switzerland. Now still living in Switzerland, I am learning German and I understand what you, as a language-learner, are going through.
I am excited to meet you and help you in your journey of discovering the Turkish language!
Sizinle tanışmaya ve Türkçeyi keşfetme yolculuğunuzda size yardımcı olmaya sabırsızlanıyorum!
Me as a Teacher
I am an open-minded teacher who is ready to listen to your needs and your feedback. A language lesson will not succeed if we are not addressing your goals, or not taking account of your unique learning style.
Thanks to my previous education, I'm highly knowledgeable with the structure of Turkish (and English) and I can provide you not only with a grammar rule, but the explanation as well. I am also well-versed with different teaching styles, and with your input, I can construct a productive lesson for you!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons with you will be communicative, interactive, and fun! After getting to know each other in our first meeting, I will consider your needs and get prepared for our next meeting accordingly.
If you need a conversational class, I'll provide prompts and topics to talk about, and give you the necessary corrections. If your need is some grammar practice, we can do some exercises together and I can explain the linguistic rules of Turkish. Perhaps your challenge is with vocabulary, then I can provide you material to acquire and practice words of interest.
My goal is your success!

Pelin is a highly committed and engaged teacher with profound knowledge of how her native language functions. My learning style is quite abstract, and Pelin has a gift for explaining grammar rules and other curiosities.

I've had a great second lesson with Pelin. After the first one, she sent homework that was just perfect for me to strengthen the material we took; and she even took the time to make cards with new words personalised to me. The new lesson today was also successful and fun.

It was excellent. After reading a text, we analyzed it. I learned new grammar rules.
