I'm a qualified Turkish teacher with a Master's degree. I've been teaching Turkish since 2016, and online since 2020, to students from all around the world. I grew up in İzmir and spent many of my adult years in İstanbul.
My lessons are interactive and focus on speaking, to build your confidence and fluency. I use course books and online materials, with an intercultural approach, and I plan every lesson around your goals. And yes, we laugh a lot: humor is one of my favourite teaching tools.
Learning a language isn't always easy, but I'll support you every step of the way. All you need is to take the first step and keep learning a little every day!

AyLin is truly extraordinary. Her experience and professionalism immediately made an impact on my progress. I have worked with many teachers across four languages and AyLin is among the best.

All the lessons with Aylin are excellent and this one was no exception. We do many different things during the lessons, including studying grammar topic, reading and conversation, which makes for a superb experience. She also gives me homework assignments, which every couple of weeks include writing a short essay. This is extremely helpful as well. I recommend Aylin highly.

Aylin is a great teacher! I've been studying Turkish language for over a year and had 5 teachers already. Aylin is by far the best! She explains well, gives good examples, encourages learning, makes learning fun and is flexible to suit my busy and ever changing schedule. She also has good materials and resources to ensure your learning. I am sure that Aylin will help you on your Turkish learning experience! She is a real teacher!

AyLin is one of the most effective teachers I've worked with. She really understands language learning, both from a theoretical perspective and how to put a plan into practice. I highly recommend working with her over an extended period of time.
