Personal Description:
Merhabalar, Hi,
I am a Cardiff based native Turkish speaker and experienced tutor .I was born and raised in Turkey.
I have degrees in mathematics and teaching from Turkey and before coming to Wales I worked as a teacher and computer programmer in Istanbul.
I later studied 3d design in Cardiff and graduated with a Masters degree in Educational studies (management and leadership).
Teaching Experience:
I am an enthusiastic and committed tutor with a wide range of 14 years teaching experience from university lecturing to tutoring one-to-one. I am currently working with Cardiff and Cambridge Universities and am also working as an interpreter / translator for many governing bodies.
Teaching Approach:
I believe that motivated learners can successfully master a language regardless of their language aptitude I use my passion and motivation to help inspire my students to learn and maximize their achievements and individual capabilities. I have a very good rapport with students of all ages and use my positive attitude and sense of humour to create a relaxed and captivating environment, therefore encouraging my students to peruse their future language development.

From Nicola (/5): I have been having Turkish lessons with Selma for around 8 weeks now and really enjoy our lessons. I have been unable to practice as much as I would like due to family committments but Selma is so understanding and patient. She goes above and beyond and is so committed I would highly recommend her as a tutor can't sing her praises enough
Reply from: Selma: Thank you Nicola?

From Charlotte (/5): I'm really enjoying the lessons and I look forward to them every week. Selma is really encouraging and she makes we want to learn. I feel like I've learnt alot already.

From Matt (/5): I've been really impressed. We have a five year old daughter with a Turkish mother and a British father. Before the lessons my wife and I spoke to her in Turkish quite a lot, but she didn't really speak any Turkish back to us. She just spoke English. Then we started the lessons with Selma a couple of months ago. To be honest my expectations were quite low because our daughter hadn't seemed very interested until then. Anyway, since the lessons began, even in that short space of time, she has really come on, and is speaking quite a lot of Turkish at home now (in and outside the lessons). She has become really enthusiastic about speaking Turkish and is definitely improving. She really likes Selma. So yes, I am really pleased. I would definitely recommend Selma to anyone who has Turkish children living in the UK.

Selma has provided a foundation course which is at the correct level and interesting. She will deviate off the course to include my requirements
She is always happy to answer my questions and explain anything i don't understand. She is very patient and friendly
I would recommend Selma to anyone wishing to learn or improve their turkish.
