Mehmet

If you want to learn Turkish fast; cover all language concepts in a concise, fun, organized and efficient way, look no further. Mehmet's classes are always productive, well paced and he prepares alot of excellent material for each class. The material will take you from A1 all the way to C2 and more...Most importantly, Mehmet is patient, encouraging and fun and he will tailor your classes to suit your language needs and pace! I've been learning with Mehmet for over 1.5 years and plan to continue for as long as he teaches on italki :)

I’ve been learning Turkish for about two years, since I moved to Istanbul to my husband who lives here. And Mehmet was the first teacher I tried to study Turkish with. I was impressed from the beginning of how well-organized, interesting and useful our lessons were. I myself am a rather responsible and accurate person, and what I liked a lot was that Mehmet was the same - always on time, always well-prepared, knowledgeable, and always shining with great energy. The materials were always very logical and set at a suitable pace, designed progressively as my level was going up. Because I’ve gradually seen the progress, I felt very motivated to study more and more. I loved both our classes and homeworks as well - because they were designed well to support what we learned, and helped memorize and repeat the information. What also was very valuable is that Mehmet was easily reached in between the classes, he would always answer my questions. For all of it I’m truly grateful.

Mehmet is a fantastic teacher and human being. He is organized and patient, clearly in love with language; both in its technical aspects and real world usage. From his lessons I have gained so much that I would not from just using a book. The pace matches the student, always bringing a perfect mix of new material and repetition so the lessons stick. He is flexible to exploring topics of interest as they arise which makes the hour fly by every time! There is something about the way he speaks that just makes it easy to understand! I would recommend Mehmet to absolutely everyone if I could.

I look forward to my lessons with Mehmet every week! It's always fun chatting, joking, and catching up (which gives me ample opportunity to use recent grammar and vocabulary) before we review any homework and continue the lessons. His teaching style is immersive and maximizes the time I am hearing and using Turkish, but of course it's no problem for him to switch to English if I have difficulty understanding something as he is completely fluent, and he is able to provide complex and nuanced explanations to any of my questions. I've been taking lessons for just over a year and a half now and it's been a lot of fun which keeps me motivated, and I can tell I'm making progress each week! :)

Mehmet is a phenomenal instructor! I feel very fortunate he's teaching on italki. Each lesson is really well planned with exercises that are designed to demonstrate grammar concepts. Thank you so much, Mehmet!

It was a wonderful first lesson. I love Mehmet's teaching style, and the lesson was very well-structured and helpful!
