Experienced English and Turkish Teacher

About me
Hello Everyone! My name is Duygu. Nice to meet you!
I live in Istanbul,Turkey and I had lived in Japan for 6 years. I have taken my second degree at Yildiz Technical University at Teaching Turkish for Foreigners. I am teaching Turkish for foreigners at a private course. I also give private lessons for Turkish and English both.
Qualifications & Experiences
I graduated in Computer Science and Engineering in Turkey. I am a native Turkish and English speaker and i teach both Turkish and English. I can speak the following languages fluently: Turkish,English,Japanese.
After i graduated from the university, i worked at I.T. companies for 2 years as a software programmer. Then, i worked at Accenture Turkey as a recruiter assistant for 1 year. After that, i started learning Japanese at an intensive Japanese course for 9 months.
Then, i really decided to do something unique in my life. I worked at Turkish Airlines as a flight attendant for 3 years and half. It was the best experience ever i could make it. I have been and stayed more than 30 countries. After i moved to Japan, i started teaching English and Turkish formally.
I used to teach English and Turkish more than 5 years at a Private English School in Japan.
If you would like learn either English and Turkish, I can also teach them in Japanese,too. I am proficient in Japanese language. Please, feel free to ask any questions in Japanese,too.
Teaching Approach
I design the lessons for my students' needs. The lectures that i give are General English for any levels, Conversation Lessons,Business English and TOEIC/TOEFL/IELTS preparation Lessons. I also help for my students' writing tasks,especially work emails,interprets and translations as well.I can speak both Turkish and English as Native Levels. So, i teach Turkish who need it for business or travel and for their interests, too
I love encouradging my students with many skill activities and i want them to enjoy by learning English.I prepare many presentations,homeworks and level checks to enlarge the contents of my both English and Turkish lessons.
I also have Youtube channels that you can find out many online lessons about English and Turkish!If you like,you can subscribe my channels!
I use many kind of materials to support the lessons,which is targeted for students' needs. Such as one of the biggest universities' books and their audio scripts,i can contain with many ways for our visual lessons.
Especially, i would like to say to everyone that Turkish is really cool language. Generally, my Japanese students are interested in. Because it has the same sentence order structure ,gramatically. But who wants to have challenge, you have found the best teacher you have ever met!

There was a sound and video problem on Preply, so we started having lessons via Zoom, but since the duration was 40 minutes on Zoom, we had to continue back on Preply, which is not a pleasant situation. I will not continue with the lessons; this is not due to Ms. Duygu, as I experienced the same problem with Ms. Sara on Preply three days ago. The infrastructure of Preply seems inadequate.Aziza

I really enjoy lessons with Duygu Hanım! She makes time fly, you don't even notice it's been already an hour. That is how light and interesting lessons go on. She is very open and positive person, which was important to me while I was choosing a tutor and I saw it right away. I do really enjoy our classes and see improvement in my Turkish lesson by lesson I am coming to my goal of being fluent in it. Çok teşekkür ederim Duygu Hanım!!Domenico

I'm having classes with Duygu to improve my conversational skills, and each lesson is always very nice and fun. She's very talkative and good at suggesting topics about to talk, and I can also suggest topics myself. I'm glad I've chosen her as my teacher.Marcus

Duygu is very organized and methodical in her instructional methods. She moves you through the material in a very logical way, starting with basic foundational concepts and provides lots of additional resources to support your learning. She is patient, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. I am very pleased with my experience with her so far!
