İsmail Kaplan

Ismail is a patient and friendly teacher. I like his attitude. When he speaks turkish with you, it is very comprehensible. He often asks questions to incite a dialog. He offered a textbook. We follow it quite loosely, but if you need some structure, it's here. Big thanks.

Ismail is a wonderful teacher who is both patient and helpful. I really feel that my knowledge and ability to communicate in Turkish has improved considerably over the last few months thanks to his help. Ismail gives me the confidence to speak and I really enjoy his teaching approach. I can highly recommend Ismail to anyone who wants to learn Turkish.

Süper! Ismail is a very patient teacher and also a very cultured person.

I appreciate the clear and thorough explanations regarding grammar and discussions : Teşekkür ederim, Öğretmenim Bey !

Teşekkür ederim İsmail Bey ! I'm happy to find a teacher who speaks very clearly and intelligibly. Who makes grammar enjoyable by using simple yet thorough explanations. Who takes notes during the lessons - and shares the notes, remembering at the next lesson what my strong and weak points are. Who takes the time to give me a lesson even when he's on week-end visiting his relatives. I'm used to learning languages and I'd like to say : Thank you for your generosity, and see you soon for the next lesson !

This was my first Turkish lesson (starting from zero) and I'm very happy that I chose to take it with Ismail. He's professional, warm and friendly. He gave me a clear and easy to understand "big picture" of the fundamentals of the language, and then gave me opportunities to experiment. Ismail is easy-going, patient, communicates very clearly in English, and he took a genuine interest in my reasons for wanting to learn Turkish. Thank you.
