Sertaç Bayraktar

Students often describe me as a patient, organized, and supportive teacher.

Having learned foreign languages that are very different from my own, I know how challenging it can feel—especially when you are trying to speak and find the right words. That’s why I try to create a comfortable and encouraging atmosphere, where making mistakes is a natural part of learning.

I truly enjoy meeting people from different cultures, and I believe good communication starts with listening. In my lessons, I make sure students feel heard, understood, and confident enough to express themselves at their own pace.


I offer different types of lessons; and each course follows a specific approach suited to its purpose.

In General Turkish Lessons, my aim is to develop the four core language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—in a balanced way. At the same time, I recognize that learners often have personal priorities, such as focusing more on speaking or comprehension. For this reason, students’ needs and goals shape these lessons.

Literature-based courses are structured differently. They focus on reading authentic texts, discussion, and gradually learning to think and express ideas in Turkish, with reading and interpretation at their core.
