Me as a Teacher
I've graduated from Foreign Language Education Department at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. I have been an English Teacher for more than 10 years. I have CELTA which is a certification for teaching English around the world. This means that I can teach English to the speakers of other languages, too. Also, I have been teaching Turkish ( which is my native language) online for more than 8 years.
My lessons & teaching style
I consider students needs and learning styles while planning my lessons. I mostly like using modern methods and techniques. In our first lesson or trial lesson, we plan the lessons with the students by learning about what they really want. I can teach all skills (grammar, speaking, listening, reading, and writing) in English and Turkish languages. If you need a professional help, I'm here to meet you.

Amazing amazing class. Sema has a lot of opinion about social topics and I can't wait for my turkish to improve in those areas so I can better express myself and discuss it deeply with her. I have always love deep talk, debate and discussion. I will continue to have her as my teacher.

the lesson was very useful and informative, covering various structures used in speech, explained in simple terms by Sema in a manner I could easily translate, into English equivalents. Things were explained in a non-linguistical way but via using everyday English words like"via". Sema was the only Turkis teacher that knew how to use "via" in English correctly, that I Have so far met. The other teachers I have known were unable to get me to understand a sentence construction, because they were trying to explain it in linguistic terms, causing me to become confused. I now know how to express via/by/with, in my new language. Sema made it so easy.

Sema is a great teacher. She takes her time to explain everything and is very patient. Every lesson is fun and there is a pleasant amount of variation between reading, writing and speaking about interesting topics. Definitely recommended.
