Biography

Driven by a passion for language learning and teaching, I’ve spent the past decade developing my expertise across diverse educational contexts. After graduating from Samsun 19 Mayıs University in 2007, I worked as a Comenius Assistant in London, where I taught English and Turkish to immigrant students—an experience that shaped my inclusive and student-centred teaching approach. Since 2022, I have been working at FSM Vakıf University, where I serve as both an English Language Instructor and Program Coordinator. I hold a CELTA certificate and an MA in English Language Teaching from Bahçeşehir University. My MA thesis focused on the impact of AI-assisted academic writing instruction on EFL learners’ motivation and academic performance. I remain committed to exploring innovative practices in language education and hope to contribute to more collaborative, tech-integrated, and learner-centred environments in the years ahead.
