Hatice - Istanbul, TurkeyRecently active£24
£24LEARNING TURKISH IS EASY AND FUN WITH A PROFESSIONAL TEACHER
Trusted teacher: Hi, I am Hatice from Istanbul. I HAVE BEEN TEACHİNG ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE FOR 25 YEARS. I am a native speaker of Turkish and was born in Istanbul. I have been teaching Turkish to foreigners and I have taught hundreds of students from all ages and professions for more than 20 years. I am a professional English teacher but I like teaching Turkish more as it is my mother tongue and it is a great pleasure for me to share its secrets and beauty. While teaching I also love giving some useful information about the culture, people, cuisine, films and literature in Turkey to help you get connected to Turkish culture. I prepare written and verbal dialogues in the areas the student is interested in. I am from Istanbul but I traveled almost all cities, mountains, rivers, lakes in Turkey. I am a person who likes less traveled roads and back streets. Traveling around the world and reading on the areas of spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and literature are my number one hobbies. I lived and worked in London, Toronto, and S. Korea. Living as an expat and learning several languages have helped me having sympathy with my students. Motivation, feeling relaxed and setting realistic targets, in the beginning, are usually the first thing to go. As for my formal education, I studied Economics, International Relations, Western Philosophy, and American language and literature at the university (MA and BA). And after my 40 years old, I learned classical Arabic and Persian and started to study Islamic spirituality at the doctorate level. I taught English at Prep. school at Istanbul Technical University and Yeditepe University and am retired. Ever since I could remember I have been a teacher. Now I only teach Turkish privately and translate classical novels from English to Turkish. I translated 12 books from English to Turkish. I teach Turkish that is tailored for each student. Each student is unique for me and I know that every student has her/his own way of learning. If you are a beginner I give a short lecture about the history of Turkish and its characteristics and help you find your way in this very logical, consistent and elegant language. You understand that Turkish is different but that does not necessarily mean difficulty. From the first lesson, you start speaking Turkish and find yourself in a dialogue. I can teach at my place and your place (all around Istanbul). I use several books using a grammar-based approach integrated with communicative methods to boost the development of all language skills. But we always focus on TALK, TALK, TALK. As a language learner for many years, I know one can learn, improve and take pleasure in a foreign language only by talking and communicating. It is essential to get direct pleasure from what you have learned. My aim is to motivate and inspire you to speak Turkish ignoring minor mistakes and without thinking grammar. I try to keep in contact with my students almost every day through whatsapp and email. And start some short dialogues.

Yeon - Cheonan, South KoreaRecently active£38
£38Authentic Korean lessons by an experienced native tutor, with summary note
Trusted teacher: Hello, I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience. In my lessons, you'll learn authentic and respectful Korean that goes beyond textbooks. I'll help you communicate naturally and confidently, while also gaining insights into Korean culture, society, and history to understand the language in its true context. Who I am: I spent my entire life living and working in Korea, giving me a deep understanding of Korean society and culture. I have a deep love for the Korean language and have enjoyed improving and polishing Korean sentences since childhood, which naturally led me to teaching Korean. I also enjoy visiting historical sites, hiking in the outdoors, and digging for clams in summer. I’d love to share my insights and experiences with you. What you'll get in the lessons: - Personalized lessons for all levels, from beginner to advanced - Practice forming and using correct sentences in speaking, writing, listening, and reading with a focus on accurate pronunciation - Learn polite and natural expressions that native speakers use, many phrases in Korean textbooks for foreigners aren't appropriately polite - A summary note after each lesson to review and practice - Anytime, via Zoom at your locaton How to improve your Korean: People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning another language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Lesson Details: I'm in Korea, in the Korea Standard Time (KST) zone. Punctuality is important, so I expect students to be on time and stick to the schedule. My English is at an intermediate level and I have a Korean accent. Thank you, Yeon

LEARNING TURKISH IS EASY AND FUN WITH A PROFESSIONAL TEACHER (Maltepe)
Hatice
We’ve had two in-person sessions with Hatice so far and they have been excellent. Her classes are engaging and accessible to students of different levels. In a class, she is very skilled at offering depth for someone who has some turkish understanding as well as being accessible to a beginner. I hope to continue a mix of online and in person lessons with her!
