I am bilingual English and Turkish. I can also teach French to children, elementary to intermediate and I am a professor at a university in Canada.
I have a PhD from the United States.
I am actively involved in research that explores the intersection of language acquisition and cultural identity. My passion for languages drives me to develop innovative methods that enhance learning experiences for my students.
The best way to teach a language is to combine real communication, context, and consistent practice:
Use the language from day one (speaking & listening first)
Teach in meaningful contexts (real-life situations, not isolated rules)
Balance input and output (listening/reading + speaking/writing)
Focus on communication, not perfection
Recycle vocabulary and structures frequently
Encourage interaction (pair work, role play, discussion)
Give supportive, timely feedback
In short: Language is learned by using it, not by memorizing i
Everyday Between 14.00 and 18.00
