"Hello. My name is Nazli. As a bilingual speaker of English and Turkish and an avid second language learner, I enjoy teaching English and Turkish. I speak French and Spanish as well. I was 12 years old when I started to learn French in Izmir, Turkey. I went to a francophone middle school and high school there where all the materials were taught in French. After graduating from high school, I received my B.A. in Philosophy from Bogazici University in Istanbul. During my university years, I continued to take French Literature and French Translation/Interpreting classes. I also have an M.A. degree in Public Relations. Despite working in the field of public relations, I found my passion in teaching and tutoring languages. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in Spring 2022 and earned my M.A. degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I have a special interest in teaching foreign languages to English speakers and in teaching English to speakers of other languages such as Turkish, French, or Spanish.

Learning new languages has enriched my emotional and intellectual world and taught me new ways of making sense of the world’s different realities. Gaining proficiency at a second language is an ongoing process. I love sharing my passion for languages, setting realistic goals for my students, and reaching those goals together. I tutor Turkish as a second language or foreign language to English speakers. I also offer tutoring sessions to teach English with an emphasis on daily communication, practical grammar and vocabulary drills tailored to students’ unique needs. I work with students of all ages ranging from K-12 to college-level. I also tutor adults from different age groups within the context of higher degree research, business, and traveling needs. I look forward to working with you." less...
