Behind every lesson is invested time, hard work and big dose of energy. After completing more than 20 lessons with teacher Baris, I would definitely not change my teacher. His lessons are amazing, especially the way he explains.. Simply wonderful!

I have been following lessons with Esra on and off for six months now and sometimes we have communication problems because we have to speak in English and that isn't the native language for the both of us. Having said this. She is a fun teacher and we laugh a lot but I also must admit that she is strict with the time table, starting at 8 o'clock means starting at 8, ending at 9 means.... Other than that, when I have questions I can ask anytime and she will reply and if the question isn't to complicated I get an fairly quick answer, if it gets more complicated than the answer will be treated in the next lesson. Would I recommend Esra hanim. Yes! And I would like to add, she is a good teacher and she has a lot of patience and repeats the things I should know because it was in a previous lesson and I stupidtly enough forgot about it (Turkish isn't an easy language...)
Esra O.
Teşekkür ederim Denise:) and it is not stupidity, very normal when we learn a new language we just need many repetition... and every language has different structure so it takes a bit time to learn it but this makes knowing a different language so valuable. ;)
Hello all! I am Yunus and i am here to teach you my native language. My education system is on a systematical way and easy to understand. I use course books, workbooks and audio files too. I won't just give grammatical lessons, but also speaking and writing practices too.
I use many technological tools for my class.
Just drop me a message and i can give you more details about my lessons. I guarantee you 100% percent satisfaction with my lessons.
I give lessons not just to adults but also children too.
If you are in a very different time zone (like USA, Japan, Korea, Australia etc.) just send me a message to coordinate the lesson time.
I am looking forward to see you in my class. Teşekkürler!

I can recommend Yunus for all who likes innovative and tailored way to learn language. I struggled with my Turkish since few years already. I tried different methods, schools, and private tutors. Finally, with Yunus we managed to break the spell and I’m able now to engage real life conversations. Yunus takes his time to understand and identify students struggle and he adapts lessons to orient them accordingly. It’s always engaging fun to discuss with him various topics that he finds may be interesting for the student. Well organized, intelligent, and very practical in his approach to the language as a skill and art, he is a great teacher and very interesting person. I’m glad I started to work with him.

I am a native speaker of Turkish so you will learn correct Turkish. I combine social learning and experiential learning approaches. Social learning in the sense that interaction between learner and I is prevailing and that the learner receives support from me. Experiential learning in the sense that learner is provided with an opportunity to develop new experiences.
All age groups and all levels are welcome.
Hope to share a journey with you to help you learn Turkish with confidence.
Türkçe ana dilimdir, dolayısı ile düzgün Türkçe öğreneceksiniz. Sosyal öğrenme ve tecrübe ederek öğrenme yaklaşımlarını birleştirmekteyim. Sosyal öğrenme benimle öğrenci arasındaki etkileşimin egemenliği ve öğrencinin benden destek almasını içerir. Tecrübe ederek öğrenme ise öğrencinin yeni tecrübeler geliştirmesine olanak sağlanmasi anlamındadır.
Tüm yaş grupları ve tüm düzeyler davetlidir.
Sizinle, Türkçe'yi kendinize güvenerek öğrenmenizde yardımcı olabileceğim bir yolculuk paylaşmayı umarım.

For more than 15 years I have been working as a language teacher in Istanbul, Berlin and Hamburg.
After studying Spanish Linguistics at the University of Ankara, I trained as a language teacher for Turkish and Spanish at the DILMER language school in Istanbul.
My methodology focuses on the language skills of the students.
Grammar is trained through direct application and thus stays in the memory.
History, culture and literature offer us a lot to talk about and soon you will become confident in using the language.
Learning a language means learning to speak!
M. O.
I'm really inspired by my teacher and feel confident and encouraged throughout the learning process due to his extreme motivation to introduce interesting teaching strategies and to provide all the opportunities for his students' success. It's vital for a teacher to be adaptable in order to let his students thrive under his teaching style. In this respect Umut is highly dedicated and approachable. He's working really hard to support me as I learn. He's outstanding. He positively influences the atmosphere of our virtual classroom and his way of material representation as well as the lesson management is creative and stimulating. The process of studying goes along in deep interaction and collaboration thus becoming useful and resultative. I'm very thankful for having the privilege of working with such an inspired, energetic and creative teacher.

Hello Everybody,
This is Sumru. I am a native Turkish speaker from Istanbul. I graduated from Translation Studies in 2014 and speak English and Spanish. I lived in Madrid for half a year and in different parts of Australia for a year.
Also the reason I chose Translation Studies is that I have a great interest in languages, including etymology, linguistics, phonetics and cultural aspects of them and I love not only learning about them, but also teaching them.
Becoming a professional translator requires a better command of your native language than your second language, so the Turkish I will be teaching will be more comprehensive than that of a native who hasn't studied languages.
I have been teaching Turkish online in another platform, and now I am on colanguage. I offer individual lessons for students, based on their goals, needs, language levels, and some other factors.
My availability varies every week, so please feel free to contact me to determine the best time for you.
Please introduce your history with Turkish, what kind of classes you are looking for, and any preferences (subject etc.) for the first lesson before or after booking a trial.
I hope to meet you very soon and share this journey with you. Cheers!
E. B.
I am having a great learning experience with Sumru. She tailors her teaching method to the needs and wishes of the students and is very flexible. I particularly like how her classes are a mix between conversation, grammar, reading and listening. I am also learning a lot about the Turkish culture. I definitely recommend her for all levels and whatever your objectives are!

Hi, my name is Ayşegül. I graduated from Hacettepe University in the department of English Language Teaching. I'm an English teacher in a private institution now. I can teach both English and Turkish.
First and foremost, I want to start with one of my favourite quotation from Richard Henry Dana(!) (I'm not sure whether this quotation belongs to him or not, but I liked it. :) “He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.” First of all, we as teachers must improve ourselves about everything such as cultural knowledge, technology, best seller books new novels etc. We should keep up with the times and try to understand our students.
Then we should know students’ interests, needs, backgrounds and their level of English / Turkish. If we know the aforementioned things, it would be easier for us to decide what kind of materials we can use to attract their attention. Also, one of the key points is that we should motivate the students to learn. As teachers we should teach our students why they learn language/grammar/vocabulary etc. rather than just memorization. Regarding teaching methods we can use student-centered methods. We should use examples from real life so they can broaden students’ knowledge. Also using examples from real life, help students to internalize the examples. I strongly believe that we should make our students acquire the language from all aspects including reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
All in all, as a teacher we have lots of things to do. One of our most important responsibilities’ is to help students to understand that they have enough power and capacity to learn a language if they are determined enough....

Until now I followed 3 classes with Aysegül. I can defenitely recommend taking language classes with her! Aysegül is friendly and patient. She is also strict and provides me homework which helps me to motivate myself better. Thanks for helping me improving my Turkish Aysegül!! :)

As a complete beginner, I am very lucky to have Aysegül as my Turkish tutor. Learning from her is like being in Turkey with a polite, patient and knowledgeable guide. Aysegül is tremendously understanding and always encouraging. Oftentimes, she will ask me a question in Turkish, and due to my baby-level skills in the language, I'll often give her a blank, clueless stare. This does not bother her. She never judges or becomes annoyed at my lack of skills. She just smiles and asks me again or gives hints in English to get me to understand what is being said. Then I don't feel bad or foolish. The thing I like about her immersive approach is this is what foreigners will encounter when in Turkey. If you are serious about learning Turkish, you must speak Turkish most of the time. In order to learn the language, you must listen - and respond - in the language you want to learn. This is her approach and I love it, even if I look like a clueless potato when she asks me questions. Most of the lessons with Aysegül are structured in an immersive way and it is ideal. Since I am not in Turkey, talking with her regularly is the next best thing. Plus, she will kindly correct me when I make a mistake (unlike many of the tremendously polite Turkish population). Her lesson plans are highly structured, logical and abundant. She will go through the materials slowly with you until you understand it. She is always willing to answer questions without annoyance or judgment. After my first lesson, she sent me a ton of materials at no extra charge and without me asking for it. One was a really cool program which helps you learn vocabulary. 100% generous! Aysegül is one of the hardest working and helpful people I have encountered. She is generous to a fault, and despite me trying to compensate her for the extra free hour of time she spent on tutoring me, she refuses any additional payment. (I'll find a way to compensate her, though, just wait!) I am positive your experience will also delight you, so give her a try. You will learn great amounts of Turkish in no time at all. I look forward to many more lessons with her as long as she will allow me to be her eager student.

Hello everybody. I am a native Turkish speaker. I growed up in Istanbul. Also I am a Turkish Language and Literature teacher/academic with 12 years of experience. I have a BA and MA degree. Now I am writing my doctoral dissertation. It's about 'Turkish Novels'.
I have 6 years experience in teaching Turkish to foreigners. Also I have a "Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language Certicate". Now I am a teaching assistant in a university in Turkey.
Teaching is my passion. I motivate my students very well. I give them homeworks and follow their progress. My lessons are cheerful. My students usually say they feel relax in my lessons.
I have written a master thesis, two books and now I've been writing my PhD thesis. Turkish literature is my profession. When you made a lot of progress we will read and discuss on Turkish literary. I am a huge fan of Dostoyevksi. I think he is the best author off all times. My favourites from Turkish literary are Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and İhsan Oktay Anar. Maybe we will be discussing their writings one day, who knows :)
I am a patient and cheerful teacher. Because I really love my job. I believe that I'm making language learning enjoyable and easy.
I gave lessons to so many adults. They were from several countries. I can understand my students' needs and organize the lessons according to my students' interests, wishes and their goals. Because I know that: everybody has not same reasons for learning Turkish.
Also I've studied with 12-18 aged teens for two years. I know their needs and I am good at getting along teenagers :)
I know that reality: every student is not same, so I schedule my lessons to each students' individual needs. I know that how a lesson goes more cheerful and educational. I'm using whiteboard in the lessons. (It's essential to explain grammatical points.) Also I am using a lesson book, pictures, flashcards, videos, recordings and and etc. I give homeworks to my students. I'm following my students' progresses.
Now, you know me some more :)
If you're still looking at my profile now probably you are interested in my Turkish courses. I know you are irresolute between to take a trial lesson or not. I know, it is a bit hard to find the right teacher that you can agree. And also I know you think whether learning Turkish is a good idea or not. I am here for meeting with you and answering your questions :) And also...
- I am going to assess your level
- We will find the best way you to learn Turkish language
After you've booked the trial lesson, please give me some information about you and your Turkish language level. If you demand, I am going to apply placement test.
Görüşmek üzere :)

Esra is an excellent teacher. She is very enthusiastic, patient, works very creatively and responds very well to individual learning needs. Her communication skills are excellent and she has a wide range of interests and knowledge as well as excellent creative skills which she uses to make the classes interesting and stimulating. I am enjoying learning about Turkish culture, food, and many aspects of life which brings the lessons to life. Esra's English is excellent which is very beneficial for an almost beginner in Turkish. I would highly recommend Esra as a Turkish teacher, especially if you want to develop everyday conversational skills and engage with books, films, ideas etc. I am really enjoying my Turkish classes with Esra as they are both relaxed and inspiring
Thank you Bernie...
