Foundational English Literacy - Orton-Gillingham structured reading and writing for children with dyslexia
I've been an educator for over 20 years and have a Master's degree in Specific Learning Differences. I specialize in working with students with dyslexia and/or ADHD in literacy and math and am Orton-Gillingham trained. I've taught in public and private schools in the US, Singapore, and Bali, and I have been a private tutor for more than 10 years. My goal is to help kids build competence and confidence in foundational skills through individualized instruction that fits their evolving needs. I am currently based in Asia and available to work with students remotely worldwide. I am also able to coach parents on accommodating their children's needs at home.

About Me
My greatest passion is helping students achieve a growth mindset through building foundational skills in Literacy and Math. When skills improve, confidence is gained and academic achievement is a reality. I was a Biology teacher when my son was diagnosed with dyslexia in 2010. His struggle inspired me to learn everything I could about the neurobiology of reading challenges and to complete a Master's degree in Specific Learning Differences with specialization in dyslexia education. I then became certified as an Orton-Gillingham language coach and tutor and have learned dozens of research-based methods of teaching Literacy and Math. I have had the privilege of teaching hundreds of students in schools and through private tutoring and look forward to helping your child overcome their own academic challenges.Education

Lessons to teach Arabic to native and non-native speakers. Teaching the Qur’an with Tajweed.Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Arbic Arabic🌹I would like to express my keenness to transfer knowledge and science in a way that combines authenticity and modernity. As an Arabic language teacher for native and non-native speakers, I believe that language is the bridge that connects cultures and opens horizons for future generations. In addition to teaching Arabic, I have extensive experience in teaching the Holy Quran with Tajweed, which enables me to provide an integrated education that combines language and religion.
🌹Over the course of more than four years, I have gained extensive experience in dealing with different age groups, especially children, as I am keen to use modern educational methods that make learning an interesting and fruitful experience. I always strive to create a stimulating educational environment🍬🍭 that enables students to achieve their best and helps them gain confidence in their language skills. My passion for teaching is what drives me to constantly search for everything new in this field, with the aim of providing distinguished education that meets the needs of my students.
💐We will learn the basics of the Arabic language from letters until we start reading to a high level. We also speak in classical Arabic to develop the skill of speaking Arabic using modern teaching strategies and methods.
💐From the first class, a student who does not speak Arabic can speak Arabic.
💐I rely in my lessons on the Nooraniyah rule if the guardian wants to teach his son to read the Holy Quran, and also a special curriculum for the student who does not speak Arabic.
If the guardian wishes to teach Arabic reading, writing, and grammar, praise be to God, we follow a group of books, at the top of which is Arabic in Your Hands, Basic Education, and Arabic Lessons, and there are other curricula from which you can choose what suits the student’s needs.
💐In each class, we must practice the four language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking, in an atmosphere of interaction between me and the student.
💐My life is full of courses, meetings and readings in this field so that I can be qualified to do so, so that I can help you and you can progress as well.
I can give you advice away from the routine of work to achieve your self, succeed and be creative in your life through my experience and dealing with children.
💐This field is not only for learning a language, but it gives us the abilities and will to succeed in life. The language of the Qur’an, which God has honored, makes us read and memorize the Qur’an to understand God’s messages to us.
We seek to learn to refine behavior and develop skills so that we may become a nation of readers, as our noble Messenger loved.
I memorize the Qur’an by dictation first for those who do not read, then by spelling after giving a set of lessons to the student so that he can spell directly from the Qur’an.

Talk and Understand Turkish easily and well with Başak who is an Experienced and Patient Teacher for Adults and Kids-Online/In-Person LessonMerhaba!
About me:
I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started teaching Turkish while studying Turkish Language and Literature at university. I worked in a language school and at universities, and I suppose I gained success. 😀 I have been teaching Turkish professionally for 14 years. I also taught Turkish for 4 years when I was a university student.
I learned Ottoman Turkish at the university, so I'm familiar with Persian and Arabic vocabulary. I also studied Persian, German, and Italian grammar.
I completed my master's degree in Ottoman history and spent a semester as an Erasmus student at the Turkish Studies Department of Leiden University.
I am interested in literature, cinema and TV series (nowadays Korean).
Me as a Teacher:
I hold firm to two main principles: providing a comfortable environment and creating an encouraging atmosphere.
My students always tell me that I am patient, positive and well-organized. I have developed an aptitude for making learning Turkish much easier, more efficient and practical.
My professionalism also allows me to tailor language education according to individual interests, needs, and capacities. I use a book prepared by a university in Turkey.
You will not hesitate to make mistakes. After a while, you will realize your mistakes and start to correct yourself.
Do you think that learning Turkish isn't easy? By progressing systematically in your learning journey, you will not feel the difficulties and will enjoy it.
My lessons & teaching style:
Even though I use a communicative approach, my lessons are supported by a solid knowledge of grammar because Turkish has a very different structure.
I use a book set that Istanbul University prepares. The course book is structured with a strategic approach to learning Turkish by using all the language skills: reading, grammar, writing, listening, watching, and speaking from A1 to C2. All these skills are essential for conversation.
I will give you tips on how to study Turkish, so you can work more effectively and learn Turkish well.
The workbook includes many exercises for homework or revision. I support the book with my authentic materials. I use a board that you can see anytime, and you can edit it, too.
Repetition-based speaking practice plays an important role in my lessons.
I will share all the materials (books, audio, videos, authentic materials) with you according to your level.
Notes:
There are 5 levels in total in Turkish: A1-A2 level (basic), B1-B2 level (intermediate), C1+ (advanced).
You could complete all levels 2.5 times faster by having private lessons compared to group lessons.
No matter what level you're at! Are you ready to start speaking? Don't worry about the rest; let's decide which level you learn Turkish. :)
Turkish Lessons for Kids:
You can contact me if you want your child to learn Turkish naturally with games, songs, learning cards, and educational videos. In this lesson for students between the ages of 5 and 16, I will help them love and speak Turkish.
I will make your child feel comfortable while learning in my lessons with rich and fun materials.
Görüşmek üzere :)
