My Qualifications and Experience
I hold a PhD in Educational Linguistics from Ankara University, and have taught, mentored, and trained educators at various levels across multiple institutions. My extensive career includes positions as Associate Professor at Ankara University, Visiting Scholar at Trinity College Dublin, and Researcher on international educational projects, all of which have provided me with a broad, globally-informed perspective on teaching and teacher development.
As a teacher trainer and mentor, I have successfully developed and delivered teacher training programs, both in person and online, for language schools worldwide. My training materials, courses, and methods are informed by cutting-edge research in language acquisition, educational linguistics, and culturally-responsive teaching practices. These programs have been designed to equip educators with practical skills that can be applied directly to the classroom, ensuring their teaching remains relevant, effective, and student-focused.
My Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy has evolved from years of direct classroom experience, academic research, and mentoring. I believe that great teaching is a continual journey of growth—for both the teacher and the student. Teachers need to be equipped not only with strong pedagogical knowledge and teaching techniques but also with the ability to engage with students empathetically, reflect on their own practices, and adapt to the dynamic learning environments they face.
In my role as a mentor, I focus on personalized learning and reflective practice, ensuring that teachers are continuously honing their skills. Language teaching is unique in its challenges, particularly when working with diverse learner groups. I help teachers navigate these challenges by fostering a culture of collaboration and lifelong learning, where they feel supported in making meaningful improvements to their practice and confidently face the diverse needs of their students.
Teacher Learning and Development for Language Schools
For language schools, I believe that the development of teachers is a key component of the institution's overall success. Effective teaching is not just about transferring knowledge—it’s about building a learning community where teachers and students thrive together. Language teachers, especially in diverse settings, need to constantly refine their ability to assess students' needs, adapt their teaching methods, and engage learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultural contexts.
I provide tailored professional development programs for language schools, with a focus on helping educators develop core competencies in:
Language teaching methodologies that are both effective and adaptable to the needs of diverse learners.
Classroom management strategies that foster a positive and inclusive learning environment.
Cultural competency, helping teachers to incorporate cultural elements into their lessons, enhancing language acquisition.
Student-centered teaching, empowering teachers to create engaging, interactive, and learner-driven lessons.
Reflective practice techniques that encourage teachers to self-evaluate and identify areas for growth.
Ongoing support and coaching, helping teachers implement changes in their practice and sustain their professional development.
By working directly with language schools, I provide structured workshops, training sessions, and one-on-one mentoring for teachers. I work closely with school leadership to assess the specific needs of their teaching staff, ensuring that the professional development programs I offer align with both international teaching standards and the unique goals of each institution.
My approach emphasizes a holistic view of teacher learning, focusing not just on teaching methods but also on personal growth and professional identity. A teacher’s development is deeply intertwined with their passion, commitment, and self-awareness—qualities that I work to nurture in all of the teachers I mentor.
