Learn Turkish Creatively

Hello,
I was born in İstanbul and I lived there. I hold a bachelor degree in cinema and television at İstanbul Şehir University. During my university years, my stories have been published in major Turkish literary magazines. After my graduation I have been specializing in children's book illustration and literature. I founded children's book publishing house in Turkey. The name is Yıldız Tozu Publishing and my books were released. I worked as an editor-in-chief in the company. I was finding books in the world and I was publishing them in Turkish. I am practically and professionally working on Turkish language and literature. Later on, I moved France to continue my education and works about literature and art. Currently, I am learning french.

I have experience in teaching Turkish in years. Furthermore, I speak English very well (TOEFL B2) and French (B1) it is advantage for students who are beginners.

Here my methodology when I teach Turkish:

I will use the grammar books and my presentations, time to time.

For speaking practice: illustrations, daily conversations
For listening practice: Turkish songs, movies, series
For reading practice: news and articles about Turkey (for advance students), stories, picture books (for intermediate students), texts from language books (for beginner and intermediate students.)

If students need to focus specific area like writing etc. I am designing my class according to that.

In addition, it is because I am using broad material about Turkish media, you will be familiar the culture and sociology of Turkey.

I like to do lesson in creative and in an organized way; therefore, I believe you will learn fast and you will enjoy learning Turkish with me!

I hope to see you in my class :)

She has very good communication skills and produces excellent learning materials. Thank you Bernie! It is always pleasure for me to do a lesson with you.

He has already learnt a lot in just two lessons. Thank you. Yusuf is very enthusiastic and smart child to learn the language. I am really enjoying for teaching him Turkish.
Sofia M.	20/11/20 Review Teaching methodology 5/5 Communication 5/5 Punctuality 5/5 Internet connection 5/5 Learning materials 5/5 5/5	I have just started my classes with Esra and she is a very good teacher. She guides you very well through the class with her presentation and provides you with a lot of vocabulary and visual input which is vital to start speaking and constructing sentences. Her presentations and her explanations guide you through a very dinamic class in which the student has to speak and apply the topics learned in a variety of examples. This variety and the structure helps you a lot to start with the language. Her homework assigments are also very carefully prepared and help you with the repetitions to interiorate the concepts learned and to put them into practice. I am looking forward to the next lessons because through this approach we will be able to move at a steady and fast pace! Thank you Sofia...

Nadja F.	27/8/20 Review Teaching methodology 5/5 Communication 5/5 Punctuality 5/5 Internet connection 5/5 Learning materials 5/5 5/5	This review was written by a coLanguage team member during a manual screening of this teacher profile. Esra is a very friendly, creative and professional teacher. As chief editor in a publishing house, you can be assured that she will often provide you with illustrations, images but also with movies and Turkish literature to make the lessons more fun and easier for you to get used to the sound and pronounciation of the Turkish language. We can recommend Esra very much! Thank you Nadja!
Bernie .	10/6/20 Review Teaching methodology 5/5 Communication 5/5 Punctuality 5/5 Internet connection 5/5 Learning materials 5/5 5/5	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...
