What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can teach or support English learning with engaging, communication-focused lessons, while also using my translation experience to deliver accurate, audience-ready content in a collaborative environment.

I’m an English teacher and translator with an Associate Degree in Applied English Translation from İzmir University of Economics, supported by TESOL training and C1 English certification. In my teaching role at DELTA COLLEGE, I prepared 8th-grade students for the high school entrance examination, led speaking-focused classes for 5th and 6th graders, and improved their communication and conversational skills through well-structured lesson plans and classroom activities.

I also bring strong translation experience from ASTA Translation Office, where I provided accurate English–Turkish and Turkish–English services for written documents and communications. I focused on linguistic accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and consistency, adapting translations to the target audience while maintaining the original meaning and tone—backed by my classroom management strengths, decision-making, and effective communication.
