About Me
italki teacher since Nov 10, 2024InterestsMusicFoodFilms & TV SeriesReadingEnvironment & Nature
Hi everyone! This is Ece from Istanbul, but I come from north part of Turkey. I have been living in Istanbul for 33 years. I'm married and have two cats. I like spending time in nature, so my husband and I often go on camping and trekking trips. Also, I like reading fiction and psychology books. Nowadays, I'm learning about soilles culture.Me as a Teacher
I have multiple degrees in teaching Turkish as a foreign language and I have been teaching foreigners since 2014. After earning my BA in Turkish Language and Literature at Mimar Sinan University, I got my teaching certificate from Duzce University. Also, I hold an MA in teaching Turkish as a foreign/second language. Luckily, I had the chance to work with many different student profiles. At the beginning of my career, I taught Turkish to Erasmus students. In the following years, I taught Turkish to universities, many well-known international brands, and foreign government officials.My lessons & teaching style
I prefer to create my materials since I want to provide completely customized classes that focus on my students' needs. In addition to this, I use sources like course books and exercise books from different publishers. I focused on improving my students' communication skills with an integrated approach during my lessons. On the other hand, my students exploit working with a teacher who specializes in pragmatics and it helps them to feel more comfortable compared to other Turkish learners when starting a dialogue, maintaining a dialogue, or finishing it. The progress of the students is checked by tests or self-check charts according to the student's preference.My teaching material

Another amazing lesson! Ece made me speak 100% of the time. We never use English in this A1/A2 level speaking class. She made me talk about food, cooking and finally made me order food at a restaurant. The course was well structured with a thread that lead to a conversation as a conclusion. Ece is a 5 star teacher!
