Message

At ÖOG, I taught German as a foreign and second language and prepared international students for EPD and ÖSD exams. I’ve also taught literacy and beginner German courses, and worked with learners from varied backgrounds.

At Lernpoint, I led courses from A1 to C2 and handled quality management, pedagogical leadership, exam responsibilities, and project coordination. I currently conduct ÖSD and ÖIF examinations, and have resumed my master’s studies on gender-inclusive language in modern Turkish.
