What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values innovative teaching methods and fosters professional growth.

I am an accomplished educator with extensive experience in English language teaching and curriculum development. Over the years, I have held various academic positions, including faculty member, assistant professor, and director at Erciyes University. My passion lies in mentoring prospective teachers and developing effective teaching methodologies that bridge theory and practice.

Throughout my career, I have taught a diverse range of courses, from pedagogical methods to language skills, and have been actively involved in program development and evaluation. My work has not only enriched my professional journey but has also contributed significantly to the academic community, particularly in the field of foreign language education.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have engaged in international projects, such as collaborating with the University of Trieste on teacher education systems. This experience has broadened my perspective on educational practices and has equipped me with valuable insights into language teaching across different cultures.
