Learn with the UK's no.1 private Turkish teacher

If you want to learn Turkish, you've come to the right place — because I'm probably the most experienced private Turkish teacher in the UK!

In my private lessons you'll be able to:

  • Learn the Turkish you need for your real-life goals.
  • Easily fit lessons around your family, work, or school.
  • Take online Turkish lessons or meet me in York or Leeds.
  • Trust that you're learning from a genuine Turkish expert.
  • Save money with a variety of free course materials.

Online Turkish lessons

Online lessons are popular with students who want to reduce travel time or learn from home. Every student receives free course materials by email, and I send and mark homework for each class. Plus you can contact me any time to ask questions about Turkish.

By choosing online lessons you can:

  • Study with a qualified Turkish teacher, anywhere.
  • Save the time and money you would spend travelling.
  • Receive hand-picked materials to support your learning.
  • Get quick answers to your Turkish language queries.

Turkish lessons for adults

Every student has a unique reason for wanting to learn Turkish. This could be to talk with family, to pass an exam, to travel, or for work. Having taught everyone from university students to diplomats, I have the experience to help you succeed.

  • Learn from a Turkish Language & Literature graduate.
  • Become fluent faster with idioms and proverbs.
  • Immerse yourself in Turkish with engaging materials.
  • Study to pass Turkish exams based on the CEFR.
  • Share Turkish culture with your family and friends.

Children's Turkish lessons

Children learn most effectively when they're having fun. That's why I use pictures, activities, and objects to make every lesson engaging. But behind the fun, there's a clear structure that will take your child from basic Turkish up to full fluency.

Your children will see these benefits from my lessons:

  • Stronger relationships with Turkish family and friends.
  • A bilingual mind that is more academic and creative.
  • Excellent results in Turkish GCSE and A-level exams.
  • All exercises and materials chosen and provided by me.
  • A clear plan for learning, made specially for each child.
  • Support whenever you need - I'm just a message away.

About me, the Turkish teacher

Having grown up in Kayseri, studied in Ankara, and taught in Istanbul, I'm as Turkish as they come. But unlike some other tutors, I also have the academic and professional qualifications to teach Turkish well. That means my students can use the language better.

  • I taught Turkish as a foreign language at Ankara University TÖMER for 8 years.
  • Before that, I taught Turkish to secondary school students in Kayseri for 4 years.
  • I graduated in Turkish Language and Literature from Hacettepe University.
  • I have taught children, teenagers, university students, and professionals.
  • I have taught all Turkish exams, from GCSE to A-level and the CEFR diploma.
