👋 Hi there! I'm Nilgün, and I'm passionate about connecting the world through language.
🗣️ For the past 7 years, I've had the incredible opportunity to teach Turkish to people from all corners of the globe, both privately and in classroom settings, both online and offline.

Me as a Teacher
💼 My Teaching Experience:
🌐 Online: I've honed my skills in virtual classrooms, making Turkish accessible to learners worldwide.
🏫 Offline: In traditional classroom environments, I've engaged with students of all ages, ensuring an inclusive and enjoyable learning experience.
🌎 Diverse Student Base: Teaching Turkish to individuals from more than 30 different countries has broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of various cultures.
My lessons & teaching style
I prioritize the communicative approach in my lessons because teaching Turkish is not just about grammar; It's about communication. However, since Turkish has a different structure, I support my lessons with grammar knowledge.
Learning a language requires, above all, stability and patience. Also, the most important point is regular study of the language. I always guide and motivate my students in this regard. I offer them the words they need to learn and the activities they can practice outside of class.
I plan my lessons according to the needs of each student. I am as fun as I am disciplined in my classes. Teaching languages is the job I enjoy most in this world. You will see that. :)

Ningün is a wonderful teacher and I'm gladly impressed by her professionalism. I had 7 lessons with her to prepare my C1 level in Turkish and I found her really helpful. She has all the skills that a language teacher must have: she's patient, well mannered, respecful, and a peaceful person. She quietly explains the topics really well, giving you examples and correcting your performance when needed. She motivates you all along and helps you with the most difficult parts of the learning. She's punctual and also very generous with her time. I highly recommend her and I will not doubt in contacting her again in the future.

Nilgün is a great teacher! I have been with her for 8 months and during the short time she was able to make me speak.
She is also encourages, correct the mistakes super professionally . she is very kind and patientit .
she wants her students to go for extra mile as well discuss with them the things that matter to all of us. You are the best!
With her, I don't feel time. Almost 8 months has passed since the lessons and I have finished C 2. During the lesson, You will find learning, fun and friendship with her.
She is not materialistic and loves her work. I have been living in Türkiye for 9 years. I tried many teachers and did not succeed. When I started with Nilgun, I loved the Turkish language and succeeded in learning it thanks to it. Thank you very much ..
Nilgün harika bir öğretmen!
8 aydır onunla birlikteyim ve kısa sürede beni konuşturmayı başardı.
Ayrıca hataları süper profesyonelce düzeltmeyi teşvik ediyor. çooook nazik ve sabırlı.
Materyalist değil ve işini seviyor.

I have been learning Turkish from this wonderful teacher Nilgün for already more than a year, and it has been such a nice experience to study with her.
As a language major, I've been learning other foreign languages and met many teachers whether good or bad, I can say she is really professional and always well-prepared. She's just ready to meet your need whether you are a beginner or at advanced level. I made a lot of progress in my Turkish thanks to her and I highly recommend her if you are really interested in improving your Turkish. Thanks Nilgün!

Bu ders çok konuştuk. Geniş zaman okuduk. Pozitifle negatif zaman ekiyi pratik yaptık. Yılbaşıla christmas tatıl hakkında konuştuk. Dinleme alıştırma beraber yaptık. Rica, teklif, kabul, ve ret çalıştık. Nilgün'le her zaman iyi bir ders :)
