English (Language & Literature, Creative Writing, ESL)

As an experienced teacher and a professional writer, I can help you with all aspects of English, whether that's literature, essay writing and analysis for school, or improving on your English as a second language, or for the aspiring writer seeking professional critique and advice for their writing with the view to publish. I can be on hand to help with a child's English homework as well. Classes are tailored to your individual needs, so every class is different.

I am certified with CELTA, PGCE with a degree in Art History. I have taught at international primary schools as well as been a private tutor to children and adults of all ages. As a writer, I am published through National Geographic, though I primarily focus on fiction.

About Me

- Learning should be fun. I'm a believer of play-based learning for children (and also adults!) because when you're having fun, you're automatically learning. When the content of what you learn becomes relevant to you on a personal level, that's when magic happens.

- I'm personable and enjoy getting to know my students. Building good rapport is so important because when any corrections come up, the student knows I'm coming from a good place, a place of trust. That's half the battle to getting the student to listen.

- I believe in encouragement. While corrections are part and parcel to teaching, sometimes highlighting the good areas, the student's strengths, what they did well, is as much part of the learning as pointing out the mistakes. It's a matter of what you focus on: Glass half full or glass half empty? Both are true. But perspective is everything.

- As someone who's bilingual and raising bilingual kids, I am in a unique position to understand the needs of the multilingual and multicultural person. I'm native in English and Cantonese and able to use both languages for lessons. I am conversational in Czech and have rudimentary Mandarin, so I'm familiar with what it's like to learn a foreign language on a personal level.

Education

BA degree in History of Art (University of Nottingham)
CELTA (Cambridge cert for teaching English as a foreign language to adults)
PGCE (University of Cumbria)

I'm also bilingual in English and Cantonese. I have basic/conversational Czech (A2-B1 level according to European standards)

Experience / Qualifications

10+ years across all ages - both children and adults, with focus on KS2 children. I have taught both proficient children in international school settings as well as tutored English as a foreign language to children and adults who are not yet fluent (levels vary).

Hello, my name is Yunus. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽‍♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾
