Hello everyone, my name is Esra, I'm from Turkey and my native language is Turkish. I have graduated from Science School and studied economics at Boğaziçi University. After i started to work, i did MBA in Istanbul Bilgi University. After working as an internal auditor and consultant for 6 years, I quit my job and started to travel. I was always teaching math and physics to my classmates. During high school, I started tutoring the 5th to 8th grades in math. During my college education, I improved my English, and then I also started to teach English. After I graduated from college, I worked as a Math and Physics teacher for a year (informal) in a private education center in my hometown. During my travel, I started to teach Turkish to foreigners and I realise that I really enjoy it. When i am teaching a language, I mostly use the natural approach. I am trying to expose my student to Turkish as much as possible, and motivate them to use it as much as they know. I mostly concentrate on the daily usage of the language instead of teaching detailed grammar rules. I start my classes with a friendly conversation, then I use the materials that I always prepare according to my student's needs and interests. I use my own materials that i have collected from various books and internet. But i am open to use the materials that the students want to follow. I mostly let my students talk and make mistakes. Then i give feedbacks at the end of the classes. After each lesson, you will get a file with the materials used in the class, exercises/homeworks and new vocabularies. I have a travel blog where i write my travel experiences. I love reading. I do cross-stitch. I love learning languages. I have learned French at college as a second language and then I started to learn Spanish, Hebrew, and recently German. I have broad experience in learning languages.
