    English Literature, Essay Writing Skills, Proofreading and Editing Skills.

    My name is Mark. I'm a PhD research candidate in Dublin City University's School of English and I am on the verge of completing my thesis, the focus of which is experimental literature.

    In addition to my soon to be completed PhD, I have a First Class Honors M.A. in Creative Writing from UCC and a First Class Honors B.A. in English and Psychology.

    Throughout the last four years, I have taught English literature to undergraduates students, with a focus on novels, short stories, drama and poetry. Additionally, I teach life writing to a group of non-traditional, mature students as part of the university's Love of Lifelong Learning Programme.

    The grinds I offer will be conversational, enthusiastic and empathetic. It is my belief that in order to excel at a subject, you must first learn how to find it interesting. I'll help with that!

    Turkish Language Lessons from a certified and 6+ years experienced teacher.
    Hello dear all! Firstly, thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Nazlı. I am from Turkiye and I currently located in Istanbul. I am graduated from Arabic language teaching and also I am a native Turkish speaker and a certified Turkish language teacher for foreigners with more than 6 years experience. For me, teaching is not just a job but something I enjoy a lot that makes me smile, feel alive and keeps me improving constantly. As a student, I always loved diving into the sea of knowledge, experiencing new things, meeting new people and exploring new cultures. And I believe that teaching a foreign language gives both student and teacher all these beautiful experiences and also it is a great opportunity for improving both sides in knowledge and in personalities. As a curious social butterfly I am interested in any new information that includes new cultures, different practices and anything that touches a persons life and soul. Because every single new knowledge proves that we are sometimes different but a lot same. I believe that learning a new language is the most important bridge that connects different communities. My passion for teaching Turkish is also being a part of the bridge of unity and support my students in their learning journey in the best and most suitable way for their needs and aims. Already very nice to meet you all and can't wait to meet you in my lessons. :)
