About Me
English Teacher & Advisor
Hello, I’m Zeki. I am an English instructor, IELTS specialist, and study-abroad advisor with many years of experience helping students reach their academic and professional goals. My mission is to transform English from a challenging subject into a powerful tool that opens doors to new opportunities, global careers, and confident communication.
My educational journey began in the United States, where I completed both my master’s and PhD programs. I lived in the U.S. for six years, gaining firsthand experience not only in academia but also in daily life, professional communication, and cross-cultural environments. Later, I continued my career by working for more than 15 years in international organizations, where English served as the core of every task, meeting, and project. These experiences shaped the global perspective I bring to every lesson I teach.
Over the years, I challenged myself to excel in major English proficiency exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, and YDS—earning high scores in each. This personal journey allows me to teach with clarity, strategy, and real-world insight. Instead of outdated, grammar-heavy, and memorization-based methods, I focus on practical communication, structured learning systems, and individualized guidance.
For over a decade, I have taught hundreds of students through private sessions, small groups, speaking clubs, and intensive exam-preparation programs—both in Türkiye and abroad. Many of my students have progressed from hesitant beginners to fluent speakers, from low IELTS scores to the results they needed for universities, visas, and global job opportunities.
My teaching philosophy is built on three pillars: personalization, clarity, and measurable progress.
In our first meeting, I conduct a detailed assessment of your goals, current level, strengths, and challenges. Then I create a tailored plan that matches your learning style and schedule. Every lesson is structured: step-by-step techniques for Writing Task 1 & 2, natural fluency-based exercises for Speaking, strategic approaches for Reading and Listening, and grammar & vocabulary integrated in meaningful ways.
In addition to test preparation, I also provide study-abroad consulting services. I help students choose the right country, university, and program based on their long-term goals. I offer guidance with personal statements, motivation letters, CV development, and full application support. My aim is to make the entire process smooth, strategic, and successful.
Teaching, for me, is not just a profession—it is mentorship. I believe in supporting students throughout their journey, giving regular feedback, tracking progress, and helping them overcome any barriers with confidence. Every student’s success feels like a personal achievement.
If you want to take your English to the next level with the right mentor, the right structure, and a proven approach, you are in the right place. Together, we can achieve your goals—whether that’s a high IELTS score, confident speaking skills, or studying abroad. Let’s start your journey and turn your ambitions into reality.

Whether your goal is a high IELTS score, fluent communication, or strong performance in English-speaking environments, choosing the right instructor makes all the difference. When you work with me, you don’t simply attend lessons—you benefit from academic expertise, international experience, proven exam strategies, and a personalized roadmap created specifically for your needs.
I hold a master’s and PhD from the United States, lived there for six years, and have over 15 years of professional experience in international organizations. English has been a core part of my daily life, academic journey, and professional career. I have achieved high scores in exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, and YDS, and for more than 10 years I have taught hundreds of students through private and group lessons. Many of them moved from “I can’t speak” to speaking confidently and achieving high scores in their IELTS Speaking and Writing sections.
My teaching approach is not based on memorization or traditional grammar-heavy methods. Instead, I offer a highly practical, communication-focused, and results-driven system. In our first session, I analyze your level and goals, then create a fully personalized study plan. My expertise in IELTS Writing and Speaking allows you to improve quickly in the areas students struggle with most.
If you want guidance, continuous support, and a structured method that genuinely leads to progress—this is the right place. Success in English and in IELTS does not happen by chance; it comes from the right strategy and the right mentor. That is exactly why choosing me will make a real difference in your journey.

“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”
“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.”
