Summary
With a 12-year experience in English language teaching, I have successfully worked with a diverse range of learners, including kindergarten children, primary school students (grades 4-8), and undergraduate students. I completed a bachelor's degree in education (English Language Teaching) at Marmara University, Istanbul in 2011. During my studies I took courses in pedagogy, language teaching methodology, language acquisition, assessment, material design and English literature and linguistics. I also dealt with the administrative issues relating to students at a language school. I have good planning and coordination skills, as well as patience to deal with people from a variety of backgrounds and abilities.
