Hello! I am Beren Eylül. I also go by the name "Joy" because my young learners -who do not know I am fully Turkish- call me Mrs Joy! I was born in Istanbul in 2005. Growing up, I have always had a deep interest in foreign languages, mainly English. Back then, however, I neither had the motivation or courage to participate in English classes. I was a mild and meek child. My English teacher during those times were a bit indifferent to me. In 5th grade, I had the sweetest English teacher. She motivated me to participate more. Quickly, English became my favorite subject! That day, I decided to be an English teacher.
I study at the most prestigious university in Türkiye, Middle East Technical University. My area of interests include educational sciences, educational psychology, inclusive education, and language pedagogy.
