Hello everyone,
My name is Tansu, and I was born in 1983 and was raised in Turkey. I am of Greek descent from my father's side. I have been married for two years to a sweet actress wife with a 10 year old cat.

I moved to the UK in 2021 and I have been working as a private tutor here since then.
I studied English Literature and Language at Ankara University, one of the most prominent universities in the country and graduated in 2005. I have worked as an English teacher over 18 years, most of which was at the level of higher education.

I have taught English at every level from beginner to advanced, and I have helped prepare countless students for language exams such as Cambridge exams, Pearson PTE, the TOEFL and IELTS.

I have got a handful certificates like a Tefl Certificate from Hunter College, the City University of New York, A teacher trainer certificate from International House London, and I am currently doing my Delta training and hoping to finish it soon.

Every learner has a different need or a different way of learning, and every subject or topic may require a distinct approach. Therefore, A teacher should not be confined to one method, and an eclectic approach will serve well to consolidate the learning process.
My initial steps with students is about finding which cable leads to the students' fiber connection to their learning. That being said, any method that activates learners' visualization will serve quite well, like acting out sentences. I love teaching vocabulary especially in phrases and sentences. I like making them fun and enjoyable.
