I moved to the US at sixteen. I completed high school and college on full scholarships, and spent ten years in Ohio and Maryland, in places with almost no Turkish community. My English settled inside daily life, not inside a classroom.

In my first year I noticed something: the English I had learned at school and the English spoken around me were not the same language. My grammar was fine and my test scores were high; but the sentences people actually built, the sounds they linked, the syllables they dropped were different. Closing that gap took years.

What I teach today is exactly that gap. Having lived in both languages, I can see what goes through a Turkish speaker’s mind mid-sentence: which sentence was built in Turkish and translated, which sound was swapped for its Turkish neighbor.

In lessons I do not lecture; we talk. As we talk, your gaps are logged on the platform; as both the system and I get to know you, the next lessons take shape around you. The details are on the method page, and the short introduction video lets you hear both the accent and the approach.
