Pinar Seneryigit
English As A Foreign Language Teacher
Istanbul, TR
Summary
With a strong academic foundation in Film and Visual Media, gained through undergraduate studies in Turkey and postgraduate studies in England, I transitioned into the field of education in 2017 upon obtaining my TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification. Over the past seven years, I have successfully taught English, improving my skills in language education and student engagement. In January 2024, I further advanced my expertise by earning a second Master’s degree in 'Educational Technology', specializing in computer-based and game-based learning strategies for both schools and corporate environments. I am confident that my diverse educational background, combined with my extensive teaching experience, equips me to contribute effectively to the growth and success of educational institutions in which I will work for.
